guys, just wanna share a little joy here
i have been in sz to play kart last Sunday
last heat it suddenly rain like shit....
but we are all excited
cos like many others, this is the first time i drive a kart with slick tyre in rain
but it fu*cking freak?n me out....
it comes out understeer even in a slow speed turning in corner....
you know how it feels? It?s when you turn all your steer to right and it go straight to the wall?.
that's completely no grip at all....
which need completely different skills kind of like drifting to do the corner
and need extremely fine control of acceleration
of course, for the first time, i spin out in the corner
but i keep doing it better and really enjoy it!!!

the trick is to break in 2 stage, break 1 to slow down,
now the 2 break comes and force the front tyre to the road just before the corner,
now you have grip to turn in so half accelerate to spin out your ass a bit
it works, but it is easy to say, and hard to do it right

thank god i learned so much from the rain !
and now i realize how dangerous it is to use a racing tyre in rain....

(don't try this on road, i'm sure you will on the newspaper...)

I tried one time in Macau, rain with slick tyre, really excited. the track is very wide and you know no matter how it drift, it will not hit the wall.

Just to share my first impression on Motul 300V 5W40 engine oil, it's ...... beats any other ones I've ever tried before... so goodbye Mobil 1 for good now for me... except the price is around 50% more expensive than Addinol 5W40

After a few thousand km, I'll be back to share some more
