Proton Satria Neo R3, the race pictures

The final race of the short 6 race series was on last weekend. The qualifying format was that the fastest 6 cars in qualifying will have their grid position in reverse, i.e. 6th fastest will be on pole and the fastest qualifier will be on 6th position.  I guess this makes for a more dramatic start to the race.

Get On Track

The cars lining up to go onto the track.

Get Set All Ok

All nicely in grid position.1 Minute

The customary grid gal, with 1 minute to go.

Ready

Steady

All ready to go …

Go

Just off the starting grid, the cars that had good qualifying times were able to overtake within the first 150m of the race.  Although the cars were suppose to be of the same specifications, they were not blue-printed.  Fair … well, not really.

1st Turn

The incident prone first turn was taken smoothly, probably one that give many novice drivers the adrenalin rush!

Competitive

It gets quite competitive among the top 6 cars.

Race On

It’s a 10 lap race, with the cars doing around 3 minutes per lap, it’s a 30 minutes race.  The times are quite impressive considering that a Porsche (Carrera) stock does about 2” 40’ per lap.

The photos were edited for slightly bluish (white balance) and dark to indicate that it did pour (rain) extremely heavily near the end of the race.

Hi there blog owner,Mr.Ian

I'm interested on all the picture you took on the Neo Clubsport races,but is abit too small to view in detail on the car.

I wish that I could get your help to let me view the picture album for the Neo Clubsport in bigger size.

Thanks
