Thanks for posting the pictures HK! There are some more pictures by someone over HERE.

I had a tough weekend finding a setup, and even if I would've had the outright pace for 2nd in the heats and prefinal i just wasn't able to overtake anyone on the twisty Hong Kong track! If I dropped a place it was really difficult to get it back!

For the final we were able to work out a setup that worked a lot better and after dropping from 7th to 9th at the start I was able to make my way up to 2nd, thanks also in part to factors such as Vica's flat tyre

.

In the Masters John King put on a really good show having gotten himself tangled up in a first lap crash dropping him to last he got past everyone to take the lead with just 1 lap to go. Rolf Seibl was leading most of the race but made it very easy for John to pass him at the end of the penultimate lap thinking John was a backmarker! I was expecting some aggressive defending from Rolf but that didn't happen. :shock:

The track is a lot of fun to drive however it does have some way to go imo to be on par with other tracks that the Asia Challenge goes to. The pit entry is very odd and the first series of corners are just a mess during race starts! Also there are 2 or 3 parts that are extremely bumpy although most of the track is smooth enough.

Congratulation to all the winners. We would have watch the race video if I was there :wink:

I was also helped by Vica breaking a chain in masters final - there's no way I could have caught him.

As Mikko said, the track was fun to drive but the 1st few corners are pretty dangerous at the start of the race and there's a couple of corners that are so bumpy on the exit that the karts jump around like bucking broncos. I had to borrow Mikko's rib protector for the final.

What Mikko didn't say was that it was my 1st win (hopefully of many) in an Intrepid - I was driving Terence's after we made a bit of a mess packing the container :-)

, making the "adult" races a clean sweep for Intrepid.
