2nd Appearance on Kartmag - part 2

In this Kartmag issue no.133, there are two write ups. One being the earlier post mentioned on Magescq, the other was on 2nd National UFOLEP on 11 and 12 of July 2009. There were a total of 130 participants from all categories. As this is a National race, we travelled up north to Saint Genis De Saintonge a week before the actual date for track familiarisation and practice. See if you can spot me in the photo.

This time round, Alvis got to race with some kids from Paris and other regions. It gave him some exposure as to not just racing with the kids from his regions but others too. This race can let him have some comparisons as to how far he can go for competition within France. Still considered new to karting, he have to absorb as much knowledge of the track trajectory as possible on every session. On the 11 July, was the chrono and race 1. He managed to clock the fastest timing and take pole on race 1 to finished 1st.

It was cloudy on the next day. As the race entered the pre-final, some kids got anxious and went full speed during formation lap and all got confused and in chaos. When the formation lap started again, He was caught by surprise cos the start flag was signal half way through the formation lap. He was overtaken but managed to finish 2nd on the pre-final. On the final race, He tried a few attempts to overtake the leader but he was too good for him and he gladly finished 2nd in the final round with the fastest timing. Again, it was an enjoyable and exciting race.

The translated write up was "The race was played between the two Subaru, Clement Jeronne and Alvis Ang. The latter took pole position before emerged as winner during qualifications. But he (Alvis) was surprised by his rival (Clement) on depart during the pre-final. In the final, Jeronne had to work to resist the pressure from Alvis and needed brilliantly. Quentin Duran completed the podium at the wheel of Honda."

2nd Appearance on Kartmag - part 1

4 weeks after Magescq, it was Alvis 2nd race on home ground, Biganos. All went well except the last lap on the final. About 200 meters to the finishing line, he skidded while trying to overtake someone who was one lap behind. It was a great experience for him and he learned not to risk his position unnecessary. Be it win or lose, there is always something for him to learn and what important is, he enjoy racing.




The above write up was that Alvis is the fastest on chrono race but only to finish 3rd in the final round.
1st Clement (no. 10)
2nd Louis(no. 7)
3rd Alvis(no. 2)

First Appearance on Kartmag

It is almost a year since Alvis first karting in France on 28 Feb 2009. He realised the fun of go karting versus PC and PS3 racing games after his first karting session. Knowing that he crave for more power and speed after a few sessions on rental kart, I decided to buy a minikart for him. Finally, on 14 April 2009, he was able to put on his racing gears, looking like a little pro kart racer, he sat onto his brand new Subaru minikart. Instantly, he could feel the different in power and speed from his racing machine on the track.

With the encouragement from monsieur Regis, the man who taught him a few tricks and techniques, I registered him for competition. His first kart racing competition took place on 24 may 2009 at Magescq, south west of France. It was quite a challenge for him as he was still practising on Biganos track and here I put him onto a new track for his first race. With his ability to adapt to new track, he was happy to get onto the podium with the fastest lap time and received his first trophy.

Alvis first appearance on France karting magazine.
