Derrière, Alvis Ang est à la peine. En cinquième position sur la grille de départ de la finale, il est victime d’un accrochage qui le fait partir en tête à queue. Lorsqu’il repart, il est dernier. Il parvient tout de même à remonter jusqu’à la neuvième place mais cette performance reste très en deçà de ses espérances. Il était le plus rapide lors de la préfinale avec le meilleur temps en course.

It was a sunny but cooling Saturday morning and the free practice session went on with some setup to be done. Everything went on smoothly until towards the end of the day as I totally forgotten about the running in of a set of new tires to be prepared for next day race.
The Sunday race day started in the drizzling morning with one free practice session. The worry comes as Alvis has to use a new set of non run in tires on a wet track. True enough that Alvis was experiencing difficulties to find grip with the new set of tires on the track and in some instances, he nearly went off track.
As usual, a briefing for the racers before the start of qualifying session. As usual again, you will see that Alvis is the only Singaporean kid this year racing with the Trophée Ufolep Kart Aquitaine.

Despite not having a set of run in tires, Alvis achieved 10th out of 16 racers during the qualifying session(chrono lap).
Below is the translation from the press release of Le Team Of Course for Trophée Ufolep Kart Aquitaine 2012 at Circuit de Magescq.
Behind, Alvis Ang is struggling. Fifth on the starting grid for the final, he suffered a hit from the back that resulted in a spin. When he recovered, he rejoined the race in 16th. He still managed to get back to 9th position but this performance is far below his expectations. He was the fastest in the pre-final with the fastest lap time.
