Full time racer - for a couple of weeks

For the next two weeks, I get a sample of life might be like as a professional racing driver. Because it's the 1st round of the Plus Yamaha SL Cup and the Offcial F-BMW test this weekend and then rounds 1&2 of the F-BMW Pacific series the next weekend, I'm rushing around like mad going to launches, tests, practice sessions and then races at the moment - there's something nearly every day.

Here's what's going on:

Yesterday (Weds 24th) we launched the SL Cup and also the Plus kart team. E-Rain have given a prize of a free days testing for the winner of the junior category in the SL Cup so I got a chance to hop into their car at the launch for a photo shoot.
Fri 26th - test my kart for the weekend's SL Cup race
Sat 27th Sepang GP track in morning for sign-on and a theory test as part of the F-BMW Official Test. After that, rush to Sepang kart track to set-up my kart for the SL Cup
Sun 28th. Back to Sepang GP track for the on-track test sessions in the F-BMW car. After lunch, to the kart track for the SL Cup races. I might need to start from the back of the grid because I might not get there on time for qualifying
Mon 29th. Catch up on school work
Tues 30th: more school catch-up
Weds 31st: F-BMW car launch at KBS with the sports minster then to Elite for a kart event with some VIPs and media people
Thurs 1st: Sign-in, photo shoot and briefing at Sepang GP for F-BMW
Fri 2nd: Free practice for F-BMW
Sat 3rd: Qualifying and race 1 for F-BMW (wish me luck!)
Sun 4th: Race 2 F-BMW, watch F1 GP
After that, I can go back to being a school pupil, at least for a while :-)
