1st 25 Minutes Endurance Minikart - Kartmag issue no. 136 (part 2)

The Endurance Race was the final episode of race season 2009 for Alvis. It was a very exciting, fun and enjoyable season for him. From his first experience on the rented kart to having his own racing machine. Going to different tracks within the Aquitaine (South West of France) with his Subaru to participate in competitions. Alvis finally ended the episode standing on the highest platform on the podium. He really enjoyed and raced his way up to having his first gold trophy. Well done Alvis.



The above translated write up was - An endurance of 25 minutes was then held for Minis, and Jeronne Clement did not withstand the pressure of Alvis Ang, regular and fast throughout the race.

Final Race of South-West Trophy - Kartmag issue no. 136 (part 1)

This final race was the conclusion to South-West Trophy and Subaru Minikart Championship. There were some heart stopping episodes where Alvis was trying very hard to overtake the leader in the final race and skidded at a corner. He lost two places to 4th position. Luckily, he was able to get back onto the track and started chasing the front runners. Quick to get back on pace, soon he managed to overtake to stay in podium. Again, while trying to overtake the 2nd kart, Alvis squeezed in a corner taking the inner line and went parallel with the kart on a straight track. Both persisted till the next right bend corner where Alvis out brake his opponent and took back his 2nd place. He was really having a great time and enjoying the racing while his mechanic and grid girl were so "kan chiong" (anxious) for him.



The above translated write up was - The favorite in this race Jeronne Clement had to be done to counter the onslaught of Alvis Ang, author of the fastest lap, but the trade of Clement was determined and assured him at the same time the victory of its Class Trophy. Alvis Ang and astonishing Dorian Chaboseau, came from behind and completed the podium.

First Street Kart Racing in Blaye - Kartmag issue no.135

Alvis first street kart racing in Blaye town. He was really quite popular cos someone actually came up to him and asked if he was the boy that raced in the previous National Race. It was quite an experience for him as there were no apex to guide him going in and out of corners. He did well and take pole position but a wrong info robbed away his chance of a podium finish. Being able to race on the street was really fun, enjoyable and rewarding.

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."
