congratulation for Forte owners,, Cerato Forte win the 3rd in Autocross Race

Hi Bros & Sis

i join an autocross race yesterday driving my Cerato 1.6 Auto and it was a fantastic race, there is 20 different cars join the Race like Mercedes, BMW, Nissan, Ford, and am the only KIA between them, i bite all those cars and proved that KIA is not Making toy Cars and able to challenge other cars in races.
i get a one Minute, 0 Second and 88 part of second and that's make me the Third Winner after VW Bettele 2.5 Auto (1st Winner) and 3.0 Manual Nissan ZX (2nd Winner).
now i have the final race with other 8 Cars in 29-Jan-09 and hope will be able to be on of the three winners.

Cool bro! Damn, your the man!

Congrats!

Thanks Brothers, thanks for KIA because of what they Made.
i wish i can do more for my Forte to get more Power and nice Style but the Problem is the Market here missed lots of stuff i need for my Forte like Voltage Stabilizer, Cold Air Intake, Platinum Spark Plug, Body Kit etc.
hope to find what i need before the Next Race.

Hey Bro, after u win ur next race, write to KIA or send them the video clips then ask them to sponsor u in the future
maybe they will import a 2L Koup to u too!

Great Idea, will do that and hope they will do something for me.

wah ................. good skill ..

great job...

but I find it funny as to how the race officials does not take safety seriously... we can see official along the track, and the safety barriers are almost not in existence.... in the car park races held locally or even the drift demos, you would have barriers separating spectators and cars, also no one is on track when the time trail starts...

maybe they can run faster than the cars.... or maybe invincible....

Didn't know the car can "drift" like that...

Must the ESC be turned off?

Does your car come with 2 or 4 disk brakes?

kapitan,
this is Race made by Iraq Auto Sport Club, and this Club have no one to support because its non government orginazation also we are living in the War Zone. only the member of this club is supporting it so you can notice that we missed lots of stuff for racing.
now Pepsi supporting this Champion and will give a gift for the winner of the next race.
first winner will get 3000.00 USD
Second winner 2000.00 USD
third winner 1000.00 USD
and we agreed to give the money of the winners to the Club to buy the important stuff that we need.
but for me if i win the 3000.00 usd i will take it for me only lol...
hope you have enough idea about this race now.

i have no ESC in my Forte also its came without ABS with 2 Disk Brakes only.

mosabnet, its great that you guys can organise such with the limited resources that you have and in your country's current situation.... good luck..

Singaporeans do not realise how fortunate they are...

congrats & well done....

he mentioned that at the start, airfilter, woofer and spare tyre.

Singapore also have organise such races lah... sanctioned by SMSA..... mainly at Kallang Stadium car park.... car park races,... or should I say, time trial...but last year being a bad economic year, there weren't much, or at least not of any I heard of.

With the new permanent Changi race track, I guess this year should see some races being organised...
