solar fun

Today, I had to replace Dao wei for his solar car competition.
Dao Wei was picked as one of the top 10 in Formula BMW, therefore he won't be in Sepang racing real cars(formula bmw cars) and we would be racing miniature solar cars.

The car wasn't built or designed by me. I'm more of the "test driver" of the car as you can say.
I did manage to tune it to its best performance... hehehehe Bangga..
The competition consist of 4 categories.
1. Design
2. 5m drag race
3. Portfolio
4. Bonus marks.

The Cars all lined up. look closely and you can spot a BMW M3 on the left. =S

In the designing category, we got disqualified because we don't have "a chassis or body work or some lego man inside the car" This was mentioned by Pn. Jega & Some annoying/kiasu/ahpek ss17 teacher. So we scored a 0 in that category.

In the 5m drag race, we could consider ourself pretty lucky.
The drag race consist of 3 trial runs.
The fastest time is recorded.

We were known as one of the underdogs there because of the appearance of the car and the support that we have. Other schools had about 5-6 people from their school cheering for their car and even the teachers were supporting their car. On our side, we had me and Hui Mei, the only supporter for SMK Seafield, our teacher was no where to be found and she was clearly useless too actually..

Our first run was brilliant and it stunned almost everyone there. When the whistle go off, our car didn't have the fastest acceleration but clearly beats everyone on its top speed.
Seafield did a time of 3.00 Seconds.
Apparently, when our car passed the finished line, it hit someone and suffered damage at the primary gear.

Our second run was pretty quick too but the damage can be noticed by the drop of speed and the alignment which made us disqualified as the car ran across the other lanes.

On our third run, we suffered a big lost because of the gear damage. The Car didn't finish more than 1/4 of the track.

But with only 1 time recorded, we manage to come in first beating second place by 0.2 seconds.

There were a few supporters after the race, many came to us asking about our car and they were all impressed with the concept of it. Even one teacher was greatly impressed with our school's car and she keep on showing it to her students and complimenting it.

Good Teacher


On the other hand, there was another teacher, who keep on criticizing our car and she is the most kiasu minded teacher/person in my life. Apparently she's a teacher from ss17 and she keeps on boasting about her car and saying that we cheated and we should be disqualified.
She even have the ability to talk non-stop and influencing the judges on certain points. Talking about soar looser.
But the weird thing... well not so weird, her team got 1st in overall. But isn't it strange?
SS17 wasn't in top3 for the Design of the car.
SS17 wasn't in top3 for the 5m Drag race too.
And I somehow wondered how they got 1st in the overall.
That is the strangest thing... Maybe she got extra points for talking like a kiasu face slapping aunty.

Bad Teacher

There's another bad teacher, well she shouldn't be bad actually but i could just say that she's not that responsible and very blur teacher.
Most of the works on the car are ideas and job done by Hui Mei & Dao Wei without a hand from teacher.
2nd, as she was sending us to Subang Utama, she somehow thought Subang Utama was SMKSJ until we have to brief her that it is not, Believe it its scary to be in her car. One moment you ask her to drive you home, next thing you'll end up in Thailand, or maybe you won't even reach Thailand or home cause the driving is so bad that you might end up in the hospital or a tree. Gosh teacher drivers..

When the results are announced and prize are given, I believe that good looks, don't gives you speed.

For my conclusion, good looking cars can't be quick,
therefore always drive a modified Perodua Ferrari Red Kancil Turbo if you want speed
(sorry can't find a pic of ferrari red kancil turbo)

But I found this, so maybe Perodua Fast and Furious 1 Green Kancil Turbo!
