Its game over for 2009!!! GRA..
The Grass Racing Autosport series had marked its closing of its calendar of championship events of 4 rounds this year. In the Pro- Grass Class Categories had seen Andy Kow bag the overall award scoring full point in the first two rounds and was behind in last next two rounds. It was a tremendous championship this year as the challenges were though and that many skilled drivers were on the pitch of the championship to give the very best challenges to the others and mostly to themselves, yeah, time attack events is more of challenging yourself than competing with other rivals.
It was a nice observation to the pro grass class championship this year as Ee Yoong Cherng gave a massive pressures to the other GRA regulars. Not only him, but William Lim was also in this spotlight of Malaysian Motorsports Tv analysis, for a guy driving a Suzuki Swift (A) but was giving it a full clean swipe off the time that manages him to be in the 5th placing overall. Very impressive the fact that William Lim is driving an auto transmission car but then clocked around other competitors which were driving Japanese tuned up cars and engines such as Jason Foo & Julian Pang with their Mivec engine, Andy Kow in Subaru Impreza, Ee Yoong Cherng & Ariff Johanis which thir cars easily has 200 horsepowers above .
When one of our crews talked to William Lim, he said that it was more of having the right line and apex, and other advantages may include the car setup –more anti roll bars to lessen the time loss and getting the grip at every intersection corners and moreover the hatchback swift gives advantages in ntering the slalom and also, the fact the machine he’s on is an automatic, gives him mor focus and attention to precision driving without much using his left food and shifting gears like the rest .William Lim, had thus justified that precision, and skills matters and it aint solely on what you’re riding. Like I used to quote ‘it aint what you ride but how you ride the machine that matters’ with a british accent though..hehe.
The challenges were also interesting to see that Ee Yoong Cherng gave it a blast to Andy Kow in the last 2 events. He was 1st in the third round and 2nd in the round 4. The way I see it, it’s a good ego booster for all the challengers and a healthy spirit of competition . This is where the competitors can gain an insight to their art of driving and sharing thought bout the car setup, and art of driving.
Andy Despite driving his Subaru Impreza may also benefit with his 4wd but some other factors that might restricted him from our point of view is the engine under his hoods aren’t an Sti engine. Which might give others the advantages. And as at round 4(the final round) hld in Putrajaya, William Lim was 3rd ahead of him on 4th placing which again might be due to the factor of tight slalom and advantages to William Lim on his hatchback ‘Weapon-X’ .But then again , Julian Pang was first and secong was Ee Yoong Cherng so, it aint much about the car size factor here.
Julian Pang, in his white Proton Wira manages to close the placing on 3rd of the overall championship. Ee Yoong Cherng absence in the 2nd round gives way to Julian to collect the championship point and there he was, effort and lucky to have the latter absence in the 2nd round. If we minus his points in the 2nd round of the championship , totalling it all up from round 1, round 3, and round 4 points and comparing it with Ee Yoong Cherng, his points are only 17 points compared to Ee Yoong Cherng of 25 points. A massive gap there of 8marginal points .
Some comparison to the top 5 of Prograss overall championship point with condition all running equal without 2nd round points (Ee Yoong Cherng didn’t compete in 2nd round) it would be as follows:
No. Name CarMake/Model R109 R309 R409 Overall Points
1. Andy Kow S.Impreza 10 9 7 26
2. Ee Yoong Cherng N. Silvia 6 10 9 25
3 Jason Foo P.Satria 7 6 10 23
4. Julian Pang P.Wira 1.8 8 3 6 17
5. William Lim S.Swift 5 1 8 14
It can be seen from the above that the Andy Kow & Ee Yoong Cherng was equally fair at some point having both got 10 and 9 points from two rounds but Andy Kow’s advantage was his point in the first round leaving the latter 4 points gap and that point giving him the reserve till the final round 4 to finish as champion leaving just 1 point ahead of Ee Yoong Cherng.
Well, it seems that 2009 is nearing the end of it and we’re entering 2010 just around the corner. The 2009 had showed quite impressive shows from these comptitors despite there are only 4 rounds this year, could be because of the financial crisis which sees most of the industries are affected by it. With 2010 coming soon, we hope that there will be more rounds next year with more cars competing like previous years in GRA. As for 2010, MMTV has something in store for GRA wanna know what? Then you’ll just have to wait and keep logging on to this site yea!!

Air Asia & Malaysian Motorsports
After it was known to many of us with the coming of 1Malaysia Lotus F1 team, Air Asia, recently sponsored our Cubprix rider to compete in the 125cc motorcycle championship.
Another step taken by Air Asia in boosting up their branding through segments of sports and here particlularly motor sports.
Air Asia always had this idea of Blue Ocean strategy in implementing their business. using new approach, and creative ideas to 'think outside the box'. The way I see it??
I think its a great idea moreover an email was sent bout more than 6 months ago to Dato Seri Tony Fernandes on this idea of 'mobile advertising' through segmentation of motorsports in Malaysia.He replied. Even forwarded the message to his Branding guy , Mr. William which I cant get in touch into on which 'e- busy-brandind'AA man up till this day when the idea that I've proposed was floating with the branding guy was so busy and don't even replied/return any mails or calls. What is happening? Another sad story. Well. Just glad they did but what i had in mind was something more different even when they had implemented it now. Yea, yea, I know then when you are thinking of something, there will be more people had been and/or is thinking abut the same thing I had. But then, doesn't it reflect on the responsibility of the company to reflect on their keenness in customer service or even a simple suggestion that a person would like to give and share some ideas to them grow. Without prejudice some might speculate that it is another form of 'business-politicking'
Well let that be said its a normal thing facing realities of today . So, they are undergoing into F1, motorcycle, and what's next ? Apart from sports which they are involved in sponsoring the Malaysian TM Football League, EPL, Asian Basketball Championship league, The Raiders, it seems that they are looking more into segments of sports..hmm.
What about the grassroots sports and motor sports of other segments. I strongly believe that the the grassroots sports are to be considered too as Malaysian's have so many outstanding sportsmen and racers on which only they haven't had the chance. Look at Tengku Djan,Saladin, Fairuz Fauzy, Alex Yoong, mind to think who are their family members and connections ?? I'm here not to be prejudice but by the fact that most Malaysians are not really getting the real stuff that they should . Despite we have our Flying Sikh Mr.Karamjit Singh and Shahrul Yuzy, which are not well unlike the former name's mentioned above, WHAT IS HAPPENING? You ask yourself.I'm not a newbie in this industry even by a laymen observation , I believe that the feedback if you ask a those motorsports enthusiast out there the feedback would be the same that I have here. Don't believe? Then go on conduct a research on this topic and assign a research company on this.
Again , well done and kudos again to Air Asia. On taking a greater heights of motor sports scene.
Some suggestion of sponsoring motor sports segments in Malaysia:
1) Rally
2) Drift
3) Drag
Well..like what our local comedian Nabil used to say.. 'Lu pikir la sendiri!!!'
Cheers!!!

1Malaysia F1 Team
Recently Malaysians are made known that the country will be coming up with an F1 team next year and that it is the first time in the history of Malaysia that we will have our own team. To have an F1 driver competing in an F1 race is not an unusual thing anymore as we had sent Alex Yoong to compete in F1 race a few years ago under the umbrella of Minardi F1 team.
Most Malaysians gave a positive feedback on the action of having our own F1 team as the realization of the idea will give greater impact to the economy and growth for every aspects of the industry from the specialization of technicalities in automotive and motor sports as we have many local higher education promoting and offering courses on automotive engineering and also motor sports.In terms of economy it will promote the country around the world a symbol that even though we might be one of the small countries in the world but the driving power and forces of the economy of intelligence and capability of the people is the same as the 1st world country and thus and idol to other developing countries around the world.
But, will the outcome of this ideas realization will be a successful or another unfinish project in this midst of economic crisis, and of unstable local political scene. Let truth be told, this is the reality facing Malaysia. But with the people in the F1 team of the mastermind group such as Dato Sri Tony Fernandes and other giants such as the Naza group and also Petronas such pessimism is just a pinch of a salt and that I believe we can strive and ;let the best be out of it. Its a simple thing in life whatever bumps along this road of life always look on the bright side. Some pessimist said when they say the ad of the vacancy of 1Malaysia F1 team, they said 'do you think there are chances of getting any of these one post in the team? this is just a standard procedure, they will definately be recruiting people within their network of contacts,people like us, even if you're a graduate from MIT or Harvard, do you think you can get that even provided you are excellent person in your field ?
That, my fellow friends and Malaysians , is the realities of today. Lets even assume that the reality is not like what they claimed but then the realities in Malaysia had shaped their mindset into thinking that way. But then again, who are we, a normal ordinary person to gave such impact to the industry as whole. To be what we claimed democracy to be.
Drivers of the F1 team are still not confirmed as they are still in process of selecting on one of the current F1 drivers.
The 1Malaysia F1 team is a symbol of unity of the nation. How great that the idealism of the Prime Minister's Dato' Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak be implemented on this kind of segment of motor sports to show that 'we are serious ' in 1Malaysia concept and another prove is by naming the nations F1 team 1Malaysia Lotus . A symbol that exhibits the country's seriousness in showing that the world we Malaysians regardless of race, religion, age , background, unite as one.
With this implementation of the 1Malaysia F1 team, will the Malaysians have greater chance of to have see the team live on action at the track despite the high cost of getting to the Sepang F1 track? SIC had lowered the price tickets some time ago but would that be sufficient to give a chance to the people of Malaysia from walks of life to enjoy the sport and feel that we really belong and that by the name 1Malaysia F1 team. It might seem affordable for the people to buy the tickets of the low prices ones -definitely not grandstands, but the highway toll and fuel of getting to the track might be a burden to some people of the lower income group which they want to bring their family, kids to enjoy the sports. Motorsports as most of us know is an expensive hobby in general, and most of the people who are really into the motor sports are of middle to high income group, which they can afford to mods their 'cars to super-kapow power cars', or owning a sports car of Japanese and continentals, but think again, what will be of the lower income group? they can just only enjoy the sports on tv. There even might be a kid from the lower income group who dreams of having to see F1 in live in front of them , but they, might not have the chance to do it because simply they or their parents can't afford to bring them to watch live at the track. I believe with the good governance of the government, governing body, and sponsors of the 1Malaysia can do something about this matter in hand.
Leave the highs of making profits and power, sometimes we just need to pause in this life , think... and making this life, this soil of Malaysia a better place to be and that love..is life, life is love. And everything comes high above.. without His blessings we are just tiny super duper creature of His creations. :)
Basically the implementation of 1Malaysia F1 team is a good move, empowering knowledge of the industry for the nations sake, enhancing growth of the economy from every aspect of industry, creating more jobs and opportunities for the people, making this our country one of the most respectable countries in the world. More over is the advantages to the sponsoring organization such as Air Asia, Naza group, and Petronas empowering their branding, strenghthening their track records and attracting more foreign investors and vast client based.
well then, there is a never ending that lies ahead in this journey. lets wait and see what's in store for this 1Malaysia Lotus F1 team.
All for One and One for All. To 1Malaysia Lotus F1 team. Cheers!!!
Most Malaysians gave a positive feedback on the action of having our own F1 team as the realization of the idea will give greater impact to the economy and growth for every aspects of the industry from the specialization of technicalities in automotive and motor sports as we have many local higher education promoting and offering courses on automotive engineering and also motor sports.In terms of economy it will promote the country around the world a symbol that even though we might be one of the small countries in the world but the driving power and forces of the economy of intelligence and capability of the people is the same as the 1st world country and thus and idol to other developing countries around the world.
But, will the outcome of this ideas realization will be a successful or another unfinish project in this midst of economic crisis, and of unstable local political scene. Let truth be told, this is the reality facing Malaysia. But with the people in the F1 team of the mastermind group such as Dato Sri Tony Fernandes and other giants such as the Naza group and also Petronas such pessimism is just a pinch of a salt and that I believe we can strive and ;let the best be out of it. Its a simple thing in life whatever bumps along this road of life always look on the bright side. Some pessimist said when they say the ad of the vacancy of 1Malaysia F1 team, they said 'do you think there are chances of getting any of these one post in the team? this is just a standard procedure, they will definately be recruiting people within their network of contacts,people like us, even if you're a graduate from MIT or Harvard, do you think you can get that even provided you are excellent person in your field ?
That, my fellow friends and Malaysians , is the realities of today. Lets even assume that the reality is not like what they claimed but then the realities in Malaysia had shaped their mindset into thinking that way. But then again, who are we, a normal ordinary person to gave such impact to the industry as whole. To be what we claimed democracy to be.
Drivers of the F1 team are still not confirmed as they are still in process of selecting on one of the current F1 drivers.

GRA 2009 !!! who will bag the overall award ?
Finally the waiting had come for the final round of GRA auto cross event.
Who will bag the overall award for the the best among the best ?
This year's race had seen the rivals of the rear wheel drive cars and the all wheel drive cars between the highly anticipated Ee Yoong Cherng, Ariff Johanis, and all time GRA favourite man , Mr.Andy'damn fast kow-kow' Kow. It was quite an interesting observation to see the close rivals are of the two type RWD and 4WD on which 4WD has greater advantages of traction compared to rear wheel drive cars such as driven by Ariff Johanis and Ee Yoong Cherng, both well known figure in the local drifting scene.
The rear wheel drive guys weren't competing as they were away on the 2nd round of GRA for a drifting event held in Singapore , an event which is highly well known with exposure across south east asia.
The first and the 3rd round of the GRA event had shown that its not anymore, that its
dominated by the 4WD cars as Ariff Johanis and Ee Yoong Cherng gave a very dynamic form of competition to Mr. Andy ' damn fast kow-kow' Kow. As known by many,in rally event nowadays, there are none rear wheel drive cars driven by the star drivers of WRC. And science had prove that front wheel drive and all wheel drive provides greater traction, thus giving advantages in not losing time giving greater grip and traction. Even this statement was seconded by the GRA Man himself who is is highly active in rally events, guy with family was actively involve in local rally events.
But then again, its a very subjective matter talking about the results of a race. Factors that may affect may include the car setup, horsepower which give real zest at the straights :) ,tire pressure, the cars condition on the race day, and finally, the driver himself.
I like to say it as 'its how you drive and ain't what you drive mate' with a British accent. haha. As the driver is the most dominating factor of the results.how skillful the driver on taking the lines, understanding the car's behavior,and mostly the mind power. Just like in jet Li's movie, a true fighter knows to be calm as when ur in state of calm you are in control , a move will be a superd kapow dynamic punch. Look at Michael Schumacher when he was in team Benetton, the car at that time was not as quick as Ferrari, but the was fast at every corner, using every possible opportunity to bring out the best in him, the car, and thus faster timing.
Based on the analysis of the third round of GRA results, Mr. Andy 'damn fast kow-kow'Kow was behind Ee Yoong Cherng by 3seconds(average of 2 sec + Ee Yoong cherng clocked 1: 52:190 while Andy was behind at 1:55:8980, a massive gap there is. It could be because of the horsepower as the third round in Sepang was a race that utilizes long straights thus horsepower is a massive factor that may determine this outcome.
It is interesting to see these rear wheel drive cars giving and impact to the all wheel drive drivers as the latter has greater advantages on the 'launch' and traction at every corners.
Well, lets just wait and see what these favorites of us has to show and how they will measure up with each other, will it be a massive gap or a slight punch of gap like the local boy racer says... 'orang kata tak putus body la kalau side by side' hehehe.
well then see you guys at the final round and us @ Malaysian Motorsports.Tv wishes these trio a massive healthy competition ..heheheh (evil laugh)
