Maybe not Racer, but I'd give anything to sit where you're sitting.......... alas, I'm a girl (

) and my friends say I'd be a bit past it

Well the challenge has competitive GIrls and 'Older' people - You'll never know unless you try

- I wish I'd done it 15 years ago - I might have learnt not to keep hitting things by now

So how does a thirty-something gal (who's completely broke after buying her MCS ..

) get into racing?

Use your charm and good looks to find plenty of sponsorship

Is that sponsorship to get behind the wheel or to wear a bikini and stand behind the car with a board displaying the driver's name & team...............

Guys and Gals,

This is NOT how track days gonna look like!!! Please don't let these races fools or scares you. It's gonna be a whole different ball game in China compare with one take races.......
SO PLEASE MAKE TRACK DAY HAPPEN.................
Happy motoring and drive safe!

Mike

P.S. it's fun to look at other Minis bumpers at that kinda angle though..... Thanks Adam.....

adampoon · Feb 27th, 2004, 02:05 AM

Yes, please make it happen, cause I would like to make the Hong Kong Version of " Mini on racing track video" (but It will take more than 3 months to complete the editing with my computer

)

Anyway, Race ! Race! Race!

Cheers

Adam

Great Video... it is crazy seeing all those mini being trash... but it also seems like a lot of fun :O) anyway, thanks for the link to the video...

Wow, it is a great highlights video. However, from my perspective it's more like a demolition derby than clean racing. I suppose many of the crashes were unintentional, but overly optimistic attempts at late braking to pass, but the one that stood out particularly is the white one pushing the green mini against the wall on the straight. In response the green mini pushed back and the two cars pushed eachother toward the left and ultimately caused a major incident. Some might say that's hard racing, but that's just not good form in my opinion.

If I tried that with the Formula Renault in Zhuhai, I'd get disqualified on top of a huge bill to repair my car.

Exciting to watch, but certainly no fun if you are the victimized driver with your race cut short.

Don't worry guys. Trackdays at Zhuhai are not supposed to be like that.
