Congrats to Desmond, Luen, Ramsey, Brian and Jin and all hardworking my-karters who were involved in one way or another.

findings

Achellis 123 Semi Slick. Medium soft compound, Thread wear 200.

Comparing to Silverstone FTZ Slick;
Grip level: about less 30~40% to FTZ
durability: Good
Timing : 3~4 seconds slower

All the best to all that's racing and please stay safe.....

ALL the BEST to fellow MY-KARTERS racing this year! ( Mark, Sabelt, Luen, Brian, Jin...and others I may have missed out...)

Godspeed and safe racing!

it's definitely going to be slower lap time on this event. Still cant confirm how slow the lap time would be, but this definitely would last longer than previous silverstone slicks...

another latest news from SIC

The cars may be more capable but the tyres are semi slick!

i see that other way. Because this year going to use semi slick tires, that should gives about 2~2 seconds slower? Any infor ?

maybe this year can be faster wth some improve gadget..

ya true,

last year's qualifying time for class C civic par timing 2'41"
2'43" can prepare to go home earlier

fastest clocked in qualifying 2'37"

i did 2'39" on asrul civic vtec....

last year's record, 2'38"class C Vtec

what's t lap time for vtec..i've done about 2'55 min few years back,maybe right know will be less wth many new performance parts in t market

however, I would reckond it will be Silverstone because it is still official sponsor for MSS. @ $450 a piece.

Good news, there will be 1 standard tyres to use to leverage fair-play. If Chiplak tyres there will be chiplak and struggle, it will be to all.

Agree that if once standard to unreasonable price for chiplak tyre, all would have to bare the costs.

Ramsey,
earlier January SR stated tyres are open latest update February only ammended as above.

Mark,
Yes driving spirit never dies only if money goes dry. Both Desmond and I looking hard for supply. Good Ryhme??

jules,
Totally agree with u. I just wish that they can finalise like what they did in year 2007 whereby silverstone came in and was selling their slicks at rm 200 per piece. That makes it affordable and its easier for us to come out a budget for team sponsors and etc.

Mark,
Most probaly me and luen will be racing with the same team last year. But we are not sure because of cost and budgetting constraints. Becsuse organisers has not made up their mind on tyre makes. Thus we dont know d costs. n we are also looking for sponsors. We will draft one proposal and resume for televas as first priority

luen, the SR has been there for quite sometime....

Not good news if they say..."You must only use this CIPALAK tyre and only I can sell it to you for RM2000 a piece.."

Such uncertainties, even 1.5 months before the race SCREWS up drivers, sponsors cos no one know what's the cost to race, cost to sponsor and if at all can sponsor! ( say other tyre brands sponsors....)

COME ON - MALAYSIA CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!

That regulations has been around for a while. Any ASRs?

Des / Luen - are you driving in the 1k? Any other my-karters?

ahhhh good news indeed
