Although you didn't make it to the finals, the racing must have been unforgettable! At events like this it ain't all about winning. The experience is all

hey guys, not back yet, but almost, stuck in malaysia on a delayed flight.
well thouroughly enjoyed the experience, i had a great time! cant write too long cos this keyboard is totally ruined, but i will say that i was happy with my finishing position considering it was my first lan comp and yeah, after hearing that the lan mode is completely different to single race mode, there went 10 hours of practice
skip to the final, and here is how it went, for starters, i felt like **** that day, didnt sleep much, and didnt eat much, throught the trip which explains why i am so gaunt looking!! but anyway, i was ushered to my seat 25 mins after the 3 french guys started their qualifying i was extremely confident i would cream them all in it, and thats exactly what i did, i had a 6'02.6xx dirty though and i felt as if i could repeat that lap but i had let the timer run out so i had to simply complete 1 lap in order to get a time in! i was not nervous and i took it easy and did a 6'04.453, pushing nowhere, conserving at the end, it was .25 faster that carters time, i came 1st
final had arrived, i was seated, and all of a sudden th e race started, and with no warmup, which was very dissapoitning as i had done nothing in lan mode at the nurb.... i started ok, didnt feel nervous at all, made mistakes b4 T1 just getting used to the hards, as apposed to the softs i had just used, ok, just b4 the race started, the ref told me that i wasnt allowed to use the grass on the fast right after T1, which i had used in qualifying, so i totally ****ed up that corner, didnt brake enough b4 the jump, and i landed terribly unstable, was an absolute fluke that i managed to hold onto it, lost .4 but su[prisingly no one challenegd me down that next straight, passed T2, did that section nicely, ok going dow the straight which leads to T3, carter caught up and was drafting me there, i had moved to cover the inside but i didnt move all the way as i always stay out wideish in preparation for the left over the hill, so he basically took that little gap there was and decided to try and pass me just b4 the left kink in the road, he didnt succeed in doing it cleanly however, and he made contact with my left rear just as i was truning left, hence i lost the rear, and spun out into the side wall, i tried to regain it as best i could, but i failed and lost a hell of a lot of time, i had a **** feeling, was kinda pissed ! if ya know what i mean, anyway, passed T3 after regaining control and saw 6 secs gap to 1st, i said hmm ok, i'll c what happens, its not over yet, and indeed it wasnt, i caugfht up that gap and was drafting 3rd on the final straight on lap 1, they double teamed up and out drafted me their, i decided to sit back in 4th and see what happens. passed line, lap 2 started, made a bad error i T1 sector, lost a second, then proceeded to loose more and more as i lost focus, i was angry about the initial incident so it just made me rush things, and push too hard, i was well behind, and then carter spun out and b4 thefinal straight so i was in 3rd, i said yeah, 3rd thats not too bad, couldntally see myself getting 2nd as i wasnt concentrating that much, and i was having a **** race, i just wanted it to finish. my lack of training ****ed me up on the blind fast left/right b4 T4, and i toally missed it and i hit the rumble on the right part, and i was bouned off in the wall, damn that was a dissapointing error, carter passed me and i was slotted in 4th again, it was all over, i made another mistake after T6 and smashed into carter, definitely then i was destined 4 4th, a well, itried my best but fell short in the end due to the initial crash, i felt as if that didnt happen, i would have won from their, as i was just getting used to the car by that stage, and the next section b4 T3 really gets u in the groove in terms of the cars handling, as there a few left right combos their.......in concluding, **** happens,eh? and will mention gpkart for helping me get by okay after i lost my wallet on the first day....and all my money also...gpkart, ur a funny bastard! had fun meeting hotboi and the others, a shame there wasnt much beer left on the after party! we'll c what happens next time, cya later fellas!
