The Lap Paradise Inaugural race was held on 30-31 March 2013 at Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Itâ™s located about 2 hours by car from Singapore.
There were a total of 55 racers in attendance and only 4 racers from Indonesia. A day before practice day, rain made the track wet and muddy. So, I couldnâ™t do any practice on Friday. Because I didnâ™t have any practice prior the race day and I thought the track was still too muddy, I didnâ™t go to the track in the morning of qualifying day. I was waiting to hear good news about track conditions from my friends first.
After I heard that the track became dry and hardpack at the end of qualifying day, I came to the track on Sunday and started from the lower final 1/8A. After 25 min 1/8 finals and and 25 min at 1/4 finals I bumped up to semis. I won my semifinal race and got 3rd position on the grid for the A-main.
As usual, I got caught in the traffic at the beginning of the A-main went down to 11th position. In lap 44 I got 1 time engine cut. Then I tried to push the car as much as I could making the best of the best lap time for this track at 26.122 sec and finished 2nd , only 10 sec behind the winner.
