The Need for Speed with Michelin Pilot Experience

Ooooowwwwhhhhooooooiiiiiihhhhoooiiiii~

Hye everyone! :), I think it have been a very long time since I join any blogging contest. Some contest are just so so, but not this time !! You know what, MICHELIN ARE  ALLOWING YOU TO DRIVE THEIR CARRRS !! How crazy is that !! imagine you are in the driver's seat and you can push the car to full throttle !! ARGGHHH!!!!

Im so excited that I cry

Well, basically these are the cars that you will be allow to drive...or ride?

had mini orgasm just by watching the pictures....pfffft~

The rules for the contest is easy, all you have to do is to tell ”Why do you deserve to win this amazing experience. Show us how passionate you are about cars, talk about your car, anything and everything about how much you deserve to win this once in a lifetime experience!”

First of all, I just wanted to tell you that......... i dont own a car :( ....well, what do you aspect from university student??....

Just because because I dont have one, it does not mean that I cannot make one. Well this is a true story. I can be categorized as one of the active student in my university (UPM). I have start involving in a lot of competition since my first year there. I am a Bachelor Of Mechanical Engineering student. I fall in love with car,motorcyle and aircraft since i was small.... well easy says, I love anything that comes with an engine :P .

Below is some picture of my team mate and me when we join EIMA Race, handled by UTM

Preparation

Competition Day

Our car... Xeron and Boltzen Blitz

Well, people say you need to learn how to walk before you learn how to run. On my first join, I only become the body designer. A year after that, I was selected to become the Manager for upcoming event which is The Eco-Marathon Asia. We start from scratch. 

Below are pictures of us joining Eco-Marathon

Some design sketches

Some analysis done, which are Chassis Analysis and Aerodynamic Analysis

Engine's performance study

Body's shell fabrication

Yeap! thats me wearing safety vest on the right during the competition day

We got Second place for Malaysia Category and 17th place on international category.

Hmmm.... I think that's all...... From all pictures I've put in this entry, you can see on how much I love cars. Owh, forget to tell something, do you know that Michelin also produce Bicycle tyre? it was very slick, not so much friction and have very wide turning radius...... I know this from the competition I join and actually wanted to buy a pair of them for next event :)

Lets sum up everything, all I wanted to say from this entry is I have been in Michelin's Racing Team's shoes. I know how hard it is to create a strong team. I know how difficult it is to pick driver. I know how hard it is to increase engine performance. I know how hard it is to design and fabricate the car's body. All of these I learn from all competition that i've join. 

I wish I will win this competition and meet the Michelin's Team so that I can learn more from them as the professional team. And plus, driving their car too....hehehe
