USJ - the best track south of well, south of USJ
Over the long weekend, the gang and i headed off to the cooler altitudes of Fraser Hills.
That aside, on the way to KL from the hills, we stopped by USJ, otherwise known as the Elite Highway Track.
It has been awhile since we visited the track but it sure didn't disappoint.
Let me give you a breakdown of the track which, incidentally, has to been driven in a 2 stroke kart to really appreciate.
We begin at the straight away in a clockwise manner.
The beginning of the circuit is at the far left, on the track next to the light grey rectangle.
1) Turn one is a hard right. follow the usual slow in, fast out procedure
2) The next is a series of gentle turns. Essentially, you are more or less able to floor your pedal until you reach the loop at the bottom of the map above. This turn is tighter than the first one and considering that you would be travelling at a high speed at this juncture, do take care not to jam on the brake.
3) The next turn is a 90 degree left turn which shouldn't be a problem if you stick to the racing line.
4) Following is a wide left turn, not much problems here too.
5) Same with the next right turn.
6) The next feature is an series of 2 turns, a tighter left turn which leads into a right turn.
This is in my opinion a real opportunity for training yourself. Since the 1st left turn is pretty narrow, you would have to slow down to avoid spining out or understeering. As this leads into a right turn, the problem (at least with me) is one of going into the turn too slow, due to deceleration in the previous turn. This is an excellent place to overtake for those with better control of their vehicle.
