haha yeah I know what you mean... Had a little mishap trying to drive Takumi-style on a mountain road with my mom's City............ I usually drive like a grandma on the normal roads (save fuel!), but today the highway was so inviting...

I'm still not sure about public access to the race track down in Pattaya, it's a pretty busy place from what I see... There are monthly gymkhana events near me, though, but couldn't make it last time.... and I don't think my tight handling skillz are good enough

We'll see, we'll see...

It gets pretty busy when you're swinging the steering wheel while trying to downshift and clutching in and out, all in the space of a second or two.

ahhaha yeah and I'm not the most coordinated guy out there

Time attack, solo on an empty track, would be the safest

we might have 1000 tracks, but we also have 50 states, and a gagillion square miles of land in between.... Remember we are a pretty big country, I know Singapore is Hugh and all (what? 500sq miles or so?) but we have to drive farther to a track than it is to drive aross your country. I drove about 150 miles yesterday to Redline Tuning for the hoodlift install :)

Well, we don't have a track on our sunny little island and have to cross the border into neighbouring Malaysia to get some track time. And the whole of Malaysia has two tracks, this one we went to, and Sepang (which hosts the F1 Grand Prix). The next nearest is probably Pattaya...... its just fortunate we're near a track.

Move nearer to a track, or better still, move to the Nurburgring.

we have a lot of lawyers too, a simple event have many rules, is expensive to insure and require on site medical... that's why people rather street race
