To put into perspective: Up close and personal with F1 legend, Jean Alesi and an Exige S for 4 days. It was Jean's last day in Malaysia before his return to Geneva. I thought that'd be the best time of my life, yet. I was wrong.</p><p></p><p>We received an invite from Proton on a Sunday morning stating:</p><p></p><p>"MEDIA GO KART CHALLENGE WITH AN F1 LEGEND - Show off your karting skills against Formula One legend, Jean Alesi"</p><p></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Date: Tuesday, 5 April 2011</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Time: 9.00 am</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Venue: Speedway Plus Circuit, KM8, USJ Rest & Service Area, ELITE Highway</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Attire: As appropriate –please wear suitable karting shoes. See you there!</li> </ul><p></p><p>This would mean friends from the websites, magazines and papers will all be there, including the almighty Jean Alesi. Instinctively, a reply was sent to the source with a "I AM IN!".</p><p></p><p>In an effort to appreciate the media's support and to celebrate the upcoming Malaysian F1 GP, Proton and Lotus decided to organize a Go Kart challenge in conjunction with Jean Alesi's stay in Malaysia for the week.</p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3478.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3478-600x399.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> </p><p></p><p>I haven't been Karting for some months now and didn't think i'd stand a chance against the elites but what the heck, it's just going to be a fun day for me and i'd be really happy just to Kart with the legend.

Almost like a scaled down version of a road-based race circuit common in Europe. Unlike the baby-smooth go kart circuit in Sepang that requires plenty of precision, the Elite Speedway Plus is rather teeth-jarring yet challenging and allows for multiple entries and exits.</p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3376.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3376-600x399.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> </p><p></p><p>It is located within an R&R area along the Elite Highway, now sporting a new operator, <a href="http://www.raycerpowerhouse.com/Site/Welcome.html" target="_blank">Raycer Powerhouse</a> who've recently shifted their operations from Sepang just last month.</p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3349-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3349-2-600x399.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> </p><p></p><p>So what's the Challenge really about?</p><p></p><p>Equipment: 4 Stroke Birel Fun Kart</p><p></p><ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">About 40 Media representatives in groups of 4</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Practice Runs for all groups</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Top 25 Qualifies to Semi Finals into groups of 3</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Top 3s from each 3 Group moves into Finals to race against Jean Alesi</li> </ol><p></p><p><a href="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3458.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3458-600x399.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> </p><p></p><p>Go Kart allocation is randomized.

Such a fragile machine that for any bad move you make, slows you down like shit. So you're forced to turn really widely just so the front tyres not grip too hard, making it easier for the small little engine to breath(at least for me). So I now believe, when in a race with great drivers, even the Fun-Kart can be, if not more competitive than the 100cc 2-stroke Karts. Of course, especially the rental fun-karts, can differ in performance. I feel for those who were surviving on that bad random kart. It can be very frustrating. Trust me, i know from a previous experience.</p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3812.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3812-600x399.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> </p><p></p><p>The Helmet in an acrylic show case.

[QUOTE="Tom, post: 1063505971, member: 1"] [IMG]https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/header2-600x354.jpg[/IMG] Just last month, we were given an exclusive opportunity to drive up the Genting hills with Jean Alesi in a loaner Exige S provided by Lotus Cars Malaysia. To put into perspective: Up close and personal with F1 legend, Jean Alesi and an Exige S for 4 days. It was Jean's last day in Malaysia before his return to Geneva. I thought that'd be the best time of my life, yet. I was wrong. We received an invite from Proton on a Sunday morning stating: "MEDIA GO KART CHALLENGE WITH AN F1 LEGEND - Show off your karting skills against Formula One legend, Jean Alesi" [LIST] [*]Date: Tuesday, 5 April 2011 [*]Time: 9.00 am [*]Venue: Speedway Plus Circuit, KM8, USJ Rest & Service Area, ELITE Highway [*]Attire: As appropriate –please wear suitable karting shoes. See you there! [/LIST] This would mean friends from the websites, magazines and papers will all be there, including the almighty Jean Alesi. Instinctively, a reply was sent to the source with a "I AM IN!". In an effort to appreciate the media's support and to celebrate the upcoming Malaysian F1 GP, Proton and Lotus decided to organize a Go Kart challenge in conjunction with Jean Alesi's stay in Malaysia for the week.

Especially since it's going to be on a circuit. [URL="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Speedway-Plus-Circuit.jpg"][IMG]https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Speedway-Plus-Circuit.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The Elite Speedway Plus Circuit is a 1.07 KM circuit and has plenty of elevation changes and slight cambering with a lot of green and scenery to take in. Almost like a scaled down version of a road-based race circuit common in Europe. Unlike the baby-smooth go kart circuit in Sepang that requires plenty of precision, the Elite Speedway Plus is rather teeth-jarring yet challenging and allows for multiple entries and exits.

Words can't describe the pleasure of being able to race with one of the gods of F1, let alone go head to head with one for laps so satisfying, even just for that 3 laps being just inches and feets behind yet at times, trying to taunt the almighty one. [URL="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3802.jpg"][IMG]https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3802-600x399.jpg[/IMG][/URL] In a Fun-Kart. Such a fragile machine that for any bad move you make, slows you down like shit. So you're forced to turn really widely just so the front tyres not grip too hard, making it easier for the small little engine to breath(at least for me). So I now believe, when in a race with great drivers, even the Fun-Kart can be, if not more competitive than the 100cc 2-stroke Karts. Of course, especially the rental fun-karts, can differ in performance. I feel for those who were surviving on that bad random kart. It can be very frustrating. Trust me, i know from a previous experience.
