[QUOTE="endless551, post: 476790, member: 4650"] Hi guys, was at yesterday's open day and there are a few things that I would like to highlight to our local track junkies. It could be sensitive but I hope many of u see it from my perception. [b]1. Obey the flags[/b] As always on a sunday in sepang, the track is like a war zone. I dunno what everyone is racing for but if ur out there to do a timed lap aren't u suppose to get a clear track in front of u before u start? I see a lot of drivers speeding down the corners even though the marshalls are waving yellow flags and sometimes even red flag. What the hell r u trying to prove?? Pls don't put other ppl's life at risk as there could be a stalled car after the corner that ur taking it with u at 160km/h/. OBEY THE FLAGS, they r there for a reason. Cos u ain't some sponsored driver with radio in ur helmet to be warned. [b]2. Drive within ur capability/limit[/b] 2 cars turtled yesterday. One of them happened right in front of my friend which he described it as totally ridiculous driving and guess he didn't know what he and his car is capable of. I'm sure none of us would like to end up like that though accidents do happen but some conscience couldve avoided that. U don't have to find the limit to get close to the limit, thats what I believe. Good for u if u didn't injur urself, car could be fixed in ur own expenses but causing the whole track to be closed when towing ur car out of the ditch is a little unfair for sensible drivers while waiting for the track to reopen and time to fly by. [b]3. Let the faster car pass[/b] Please don't give the faster cars a hard time passing you though I know u could b faster around the corner than that old uncle in his 1 million dollar porsche.
