GRA Autocross Round 2: I Won!


Ronald Sudarja of Michelin awarding me the prizes

Having clinched the Runners-Up and Fastest Novice of Class C at the GRA Autocross Round 1, I am completely ecstatic to come out of Round 2 as Champion of Class C. Held at the same venue – KLCC outdoor car park, the event saw 100 contestants competing in 6 different classes. After a disastrous test-run in the morning where my front right brake hose broke, resulting in zero brakes during the run, I really had not expected to have competed at all. Fortunately, partner Stan, who didn’t participate this time round, came to the rescue. A huge, massive thank you to my race partner including the two mysterious mechs who came out of nowhere to sort out my brakes.

A huge thank you to GRA (Ian and Jianin you guys rock!) and BF Goodrich for bringing motorsports to the grassroots. Kudos!
