Don't worry all, nothing to be stressed about. Just make sure your car is in good condition, no leaks, nothing broken and nothing lose.

Tyres and brakes good condition, and you are set!

dun need extra tyres ler... unless u are testing tyres.. that will be different story.

simple things to prepare b4 u make ur trip to Sepang circuit.
1. No leaking oils.
2. Take off unnessary stuffs such as woofer box, spare tyre, carpets & anything else which will fly around when u brake and take corners. (u can take it off when u reach sepang... let ur frens take care of your stuffs)
3. Tyres in good condition.. correct pressure.
4. Brake system working nicely...
5. Sufficient fuel to race....

Stuffs to bring,
1. Drinking Water... lots of it.
2. Crash helmet
3. No slippers for racers... at least BATA sport shoes.
4. Optional item... sun glass.


while at the tracks,
1. obey all safety rules
2. safety first
3. no hooligan
4. observe pretty ladies if available.

no do use handbrake when u stop at the paddocks after a few hot laps... your brake calipers may jam under extreme heat...

hope that helped for beginners... =)

any recommended camber setting?

 

[ftzone]

well... any camber settings which is comfortable for you is good enough.
There isn't need to have super negative camber adjustments like Super GT cars. However, I'm not saying that it can't be done... it is entirely up to you. Ask your local tyre shop for advise.

HPC is not a competative event.. it is just for fun.. racing your car at your own pace in a world class circuit. Most important part is racing safely and in a controlled environment.

HPC appreciate if you could address this question....?

Well, I'm not HPC staff... but usually is one to one instructor if you are in Grp1. But sometimes shortage of instructors can happen. So, have to share instructor. I shared my instructor in my past event.

Each session lasts about 25 mins. For a full track, I would estimate about 6 or 8 laps per session assuming no red or black flags. Each group will have 3 sessions.. thats an average 21 laps.

all not in the same time slot so I guess on average 66 cars per session.
