[QUOTE="BoatOwner, post: 514785, member: 2143"] Chris it seems that you completely missunderstood the intention of my post, i'm sorry if i didn't make it clear enough. None of my comments were demands, they were simple questions to clear up issues that participants might want to know, and a few suggestions some which might be plausible others maybe not. For example there might be 10 guys show up without helmets if they aren't told that they need to bring their own helmets. Refreshment question likewise. A simple answer from the instructors could be "refreshements are available at the pits for RM1.50 a can/bottle, or down the road at the petronas station." - would suck having not brought any drinks and not having any available at the track. I did say "Will there be instructors beside the track at certain corners to take notes on our driving?" I didn't say EVERY corner. For example having just 1 instructor at t1/t2 could provide invaluable feedback to the drivers. btw... 15 corners there might be, but some corners such as T3 do not need any attention as they are so straight forward, and T1/T2 covered by one guy, T7/8 by one guy, T12/13/14 by one guy... you'd hardly need 15 instructors to cover all corners, and that's not what i was even asking/suggesting, not demanding. I also never said it was a proper racing course, either are the courses i compared to. Q11 was simply to check that sepang does not mind having instructors profiting at their track, a simple yes/no answer is enough to ensure participants that everything will be ok. Timing equipment question: Stopwatches are readily available and cheap, and most people probably have them, many on their phones. The instructor taking laptimes in the passenger seat for example works. Or an answer such as "we feel that times are not an important factor, enough can be ascertained from just driving feedback." I was looking for answers from the organisers of the event, not from somebody that thought i was dissing the program, that wasn't my intention, sorry if i made it seem that way. "RM150 FOR GUIDE AND YOU EXPECT GOT CLASSROOM??": a classroom session can be arranged at the nearby carpark for example... there is no need for rental of an actual room. I didn't say "will there be a classroom?" - there is no need to sit at desks for a theory session to take place. IMO a very good idea rather than just going out on track right away. and i did not say i "expect there to be a classroom" or "i demand that there be a classroom" i [i]asked[/i] if there is going to be a classroom session. "I DON'T THINK SEPANG MOTORSPORTS CLUB IS REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED BY AAM. " - [b]Yes it is.[/b] - you can double check with AAM if you don't trust me. Like i said [b]twice[/b] in my previous post: [b]i think it is very good what these guys are doing.[/b] - i also mentioned that it is a very low price (extremely low in fact) :blink: - i was just asking questions that i hope will be answered by somebody who actually knows the answers for the benefit of the possible participants and preferably without using caps throughout. To be able to use a track with facilities that put to shame most other track on the planet on so many sundays thoughout the year for just RM150 for a 3 hour session is unheard of anywhere on European tracks for example.
