Season 11 of the Malaysian Sim Racers league started with an opening race at the Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve with Enduracers Endurance mod again being adapted for its good quality and well balanced physics. More than 15 drivers joined the newly introduced 3-race per event format which replaces the long distance races which was implemented since Season 6.

Kenny skipped the race, and Nazirull took full advantage by taking the pole and top spot. Arnaud took first ever podium in his career with pace. Zul converted Long Beach dissapointment into a solid 3rd place.

Nazirull claims another win in Long Beach, claiming pole and fastest lap together.

rFactor2 preview vid FTW!!! Or is it?

Nazirull took it from the dominating Kenny in Kyalami with a pole and a straight win. Kenny finished 2nd place and Zul got a second consecutive 3rd place.

Kenny wins it again in Interlagos. He also snatched pole position by quite a margin from the rest. Choe scores his first ever podium finish in his Brabham and Afif made it to the 3rd spot in his Lotus. Yeong made it to 4th in his *censored* Wolf! Nazirull finished only 5th after collided with Kenny in lap 4 while leading. 

11 made it to the grid tonite, despite the lure of the clash of the titans between Manchester United and Liverpool. 

FULL RESULTS

Choe does the race report again. And interview from the podium sitters.

Yeong was really pissed because his G25 malfunctioned just before Quali and still defective despite a reboot and rejoin. It seems the unit is experiencing unsanctioned downshifts. He'd be on 3rd gear and for no reason the thing downshifted by itself to 1st and spinning him out. He had the same problem several times when he was running races on my server. Sometimes the problem goes away, sometimes it comes back.

Kenny has won the Season 10 Round 1 in Buenos Aires! He inherited the lead from Nazirull who was on pole, retired halfway thru the race due to disconnection.

Kelvin comes second and set the fastest lap of the race with 1:45.438. Zul broke his podium curse and scores third.

12 made it to the grid with this season ban on refuelling. Round 2 is set for Interlagos in 7 days time.

Kamal Afiq, tells us about his day, karting in the DRIVERS 2010 by MyKart.org. A petrolhead, he talks of the experience full of enthusiasm, a typical MSRians....a typical simracer. Himself, Zuljag and Piji is an avid karter, having sessions almost everyweek. Here is the report.

got there at 745 am. kept on smsing bro zul but didnt got any reply. well, he reminded me last night that he'll make it IF he can get up in time.
so, i guess he didnt . alright, registered myself, paid the fees and weighed. i was among the earliest to register . by 830am the paddock started
to get crowded and by now i realized how intense the race will be in a good way. intense here refers to the fact that MOST of the drivers that came today
do look physically prepared and mentally. they came with all those fancy race suits etc2. well, i wasnt really far off either to be honest coz i brought
along my jacket+full face helmet (NON FIA approved)+glove+balaclava. well, long story short those who came today ARE INDEED motorsport enthusiasts.

A leading local online/retail PC hardware store is in negotiation with out correspondence Antonio to try to bring in more simracing-related stuff in bulk, which shipping is not supported by the manufacturer to this region. Fingers crossed, Fanatech wheels, clubsport pedals and Thunder SS Shifter is among the wish ive made to the modernopc genie...lulz. 

 Its has been very quiet in the tracks of MSR. Regardless of which one is loaded up. The excitement of acuiring the new dedicated server are not enough to attract runners for practice. Only occasional sound of a flat-12 engine and a turbocharger passing thru and empty paddock. Regardless, Choe (L-Plate Driver) found enough excitement to write his take of the race. It was the 2nd test race of the season (theres 3 of them). Number of racers on the starting grid - 5.

Regardless, Promo vids by EvoHahn, Ryugan n Azrink!

First of all, the turnout was really disappointing (5 guys). I had hoped for a larger grid. I remembered the test races from last yr had a packed grid of at least 15 drivers. Most disapointing was my teammate IHM who stood up the whole event despite having hassled me all week long to install the GP79 mod so that he can participate. "I'm too tired after playing afternoon badminton session" lar ...."I have to fetch my daughter from bus station at 5am" lar......all 101 damn blardy excuses.

Malaysia-owned Lotus Racing has launched its car in London last week. The have managed to get it rolled out from the factory in a record time of 5 months. Team boss, Dato' Tony Fernandes, drivers, Jarno Trulli, Heiki Kovalainen and Fairuz Fauzi was present at the launch. The car paintjob is amongst the prettiest so far.

This article is an insight based on seasons of racing in MSR by Mu'az Zakaria. This article will also uncover the reasons to most of the race mistakes and race crashes in MSR.

The order coming into the night phase is Mara, Muaz and Bonn after a super opening run, With Ryugan 4th losing the car at the chicane, kamal90 is 5th under pressure from Kelvin and Azrink. The fight between Soze and Madnoren is close behind with Antonio is chased by Zul. Piji had a lonely run in 12th, while RonMD is being chased by EvoHahn. Afif is clinging last due to ffb failure.

Last Friday was the 13th where 16 racers brave the Friday fatigue for the challenge of the ever daunting Suzuka. Prior to the race it was expected that the P1s would overcome the P2s in this long, high speed track. But it has been proven otherwise with Muaz and Madnoren dominating the qualifying session. Madnoren as the winner in Rattlesnake started on pole for the sprint but was jumped by Muaz who took the pole for the 90 minutes feature race. Ryugan returned from his long absence with a commanding 3rd on the grid behind Madnoren. Its the debut race for Kelvin, on the ps2 gamepad, starting from 6th place in between Antonio and Maranello55. The best of the P1s, evoHahn started on the 8th spot.

Arnaud reportedly has been kidnapped to his birthday party.
