SPRCD 2nd camp

It was a camp from 24th to 25th Oct 2009.

Started smoothly at 4pm, where we took about 30 mins moving tire markers up to the Camp room, namely T2266 to T2267.

Then went for seoul garden.

Camp Part 1

Here are the photos.

This is from my friend andy, who took all the photos...

I lazy upload, but i'll find time to do so.

Lets continue, my table consisted of John, reuben and Shiyong aka Hulk.

Took a HUGE AMOUNT of meat, seriously.

imagine about 10cm high of meat on the normal dinner plates....

Which after, we went to the arcade, i went for Maximum Tune 3 DX, renewed my car..

OMG, from undefeated highway dominator to WTF,,,,,, Wangan beginner?

rubbed my eyes, and WOW, its real...

Nvm, at approximately 9.30++ we went back to SP and moved the rest of the stuff to camping room.

then it was time for practise for trial run 1 at the Senior's Myamsterious room.

I scored average for clipping point, but i was engrossed in it, forgot almost all flow.

I then changed setting using shock spacer.

Played till I was satisfied, went to rest.

Then at around 1.13am, We went out..

Came back at 2am...

Watched Tokyo Odaiba D1GP, and was the first time i could fell asleep watching my favourite show.

shows how tired one can be at 4am....

Slept for 4 hrs, when i woke up last. Red eyes and a disoriented head is bad for drifting.

Pack up, then go to basket ball court.... 12.30

Oh my god, the surface was good, but my car wasn't set up for it.

practised till 2.30pm....

Single run: (in my prespective)

Practise run - flow is there, 4 out of 5 clipping point. score average 3 on clipping point.

1st run - clip all 5 on 3, i killed my flow by half. possibly at the dori-dori section.

2nd run - clip 4 outta 5, Improve flow by full throttling into dori dori with no brake. (i grew bigger balls, yay, Jk!)

Followed by Tsuiso:

Vs Jim, Win.

1st run(Me leading) - Advantage

2nd run(Jim leads) - Advantage

2nd round Vs Andy,

1st run(Me leading) - Advantage

2nd run(Andy leads) - Andy wins.

Let me tell the whole story. We started with the first hairpin, which we entered with same speed, shorly after by a huge sweeper. This is when i took the inside line with faster speed.

i thought i would cut him off, guess what?

I was tricked, what i did not realise is that i tuned his car for slight understeer, meaning, he can straighten out easily. ( i tuned that car, ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

So just at the end of the sweeper, his car shot up with speed, cut the inside line, i was caught offguard, and had to brake.

understeer occured at end of sweeper and the beginning of the dori section.

That was how i lost. I felt a little shock though.

That even though Tsuiso may seem easy and calm, but it is full of tricks and psychological challenges.

Day ended with this:
