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."
