GRA Autocross Championships 2010

2nd May



Grass Racing Autosports or GRA is a community comprising of Malaysian grassroot drivers who strive for the spirit of driving in a competitive environment. GRA was established in November 2005, and was founded by Ian Khong and Jian Nin. GRA is a close knitted community with its drivers and community sharing thoughts and ideas constantly on the GRA forum.

Today was the 1st round of the 2010 championship. Held at the Metro Driving school in Puchong, the race course requires drivers to negotiate a series of tight bends while avoiding the curbs. It a balance between outright speed and car control.



The first portion of the course has the driver coming in hot at high speed and then doing a figure 8 turn around a safety cone. During the Pro session, you can see some cool drift moves..

A very cool looking MRS driven by Mickey Teoh..


The 2nd half of the track involves some tricky maneuvering. Go in too hot and you might kiss the curb, go in too conservative and you lose time. It about finding the balance here..





Too bad I was rushing to settle some errands and had to leave the session halfway.
But there's always Round 2...
