Tired

Rasanya aku hampir mati lemas ...

Betapa tidak ,,,

Kehilangan kontak darinya sama saja seperti kehilangan dirinya seutuhnya ...

Hatiku sedih, sakit, cemas, waswas ...

Pikiranku tak bekerja dengan benar ...

Mataku seperti benda tolol yang tak mau dikendalikan ,,,

hanya mengeluarkan air mata terus-menerus ...

Aku hanya terus berpikir dan berpikir ...

Berpikir tentang kemungkinan-kemungkinan ...

Kemungkinan terbaik dan terburuk ...

Aku tak tahu mana yang benar ...

Aku hanya tahu aku saat ini benar-benar kehilangan arah ...

Berapa lama lagi ?

Berapa lama lagi aku akan jadi begini ?

Berada dalam ketidakjelasan seperti ini ?

Air mataku terus mengalir ,,,

tanpa ada yang kabar baik yang bisa menghentikannya ...

Belum lagi beban-beban yang ada di hadapanku saat ini ...

Aku seperti ditindih oleh lima buah pegunungan sekaligus ...

Sakit, sakit sekali ...

Hatiku letih, sangat letih ...

Kebekuan

Sejak kemarin aku terus berpikir ...

Berpikir dan berpikir ...

Hatiku mendingin ...

Hatiku yang berada di tengah tumpukan salju ...

Hatiku kembali ke musim dimana tak ada tumbuhan yang dapat bertahan hidup ...

Hatiku kembali beku ...

Aku tak merasakan apapun lagi ...

Padahal baru sejenak aku merasakan hangatnya musim semi ...

Tapi musim dingin sepertinya datang terlalu cepat ...

Aku kedinginan, hampir mati beku ...

Aku bahkan tak bisa merasakan ujung-ujung kakiku ...

Sepanjang hari aku mencoba bergumul dengan selembar kain yang kupikir dapat menghangatkanku ...

Nyatanya tidak ...

Aku gemetar, karena hatiku yang membeku ...

Tragedi Kembali Terjadi

Kemarin, 5 September 2010, ajang bergengsi MotoGP kembali berduka. Salah satu pembalap muda berbakat yang berkiprah di kelas Moto2, Shoya Tomizawa (19), harus tewas di lintasan Sirkuit Misano akibat kecelakaan maut yang menimpanya. Tomizawa sempat dilarikan ke Rumah Sakit Riccione, namun nyawanya tak dapat tertolong lagi.

Kecelakaan terjadi pada lap ke-12 saat Tomizawa terpeleset dan terjatuh di lintasan. Namun tubuhnya yang masih tergeletak di lintasan langsung terhantam motor Scott Redding dan Alex de Angelis, membuat Tomizawa terlempar ke sisi lintasan. Dengan segera tim medis membawa Tomizawa yang kehilangan kesadaran ke Pusat Kesehatan Sirkuit Misano. Karena keadaannya yang semakin parah, Tomizawa pun dibawa ke rumah sakit, namun akhirnya Tomizawa meninggal pada jam 14.20 waktu setempat.

Seluruh pembalap, kru dan petinggi MotoGP dirundung duka yang amat mendalam atas kematian Tomizawa yang begitu tiba-tiba. Bahkan Toni Elias, yang berhasil menjadi juara Moto2 seri Misano, mengatakan bahwa kemenangannya hari itu sangat penuh kesedihan. Pembalap-pembalap motoGP seperti Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa dan yang lainnya pun mengungkapkan rasa duka yang mendalam dan menyampaikan belasungkawanya kepada keluarga Tomizawa.

Shoya Tomizawa merupakan pembalap muda berbakat yang karismatik, murah senyum dan ceria. Seringkali dia membuat lelucon yang membuat semua pembalap menyukainya. Memulai karir di kelas 125cc, dia memenangkan seri Motegi di tahun 2006. Di tahun 2008, dia mengikuti 250cc All-Japan Championship dan menjadi pembalap 1 musim penuh di kelas 250cc tahun lalu. Di tahun ini, Tomizawa kembali mengikuti ajang Moto2 di tim Technomag-CIP.

A New Dawn - India prepares to welcome Formula One

India loves sport and 2011 is set to be a big year for sport in the Asian country thanks to the inaugural Indian Grand Prix. Mark Hughes, vice president of JPSK Sports, the Jaypee Group subsidiary charged with constructing the all-new circuit near Delhi, is determined the race will make a major impression on the calendar. With young fans aplenty, a growing Formula One interest courtesy of Karun Chandhok and Force India, a state-of-the-art track in the making, and a passionate promoter, he shouldn’t be disappointed…

Q: How important is an Indian Grand Prix for the country?
Mark Hughes: People are very excited about Formula One and we are very lucky to have the Force India Formula One team, which has really boosted the sport. Before we had Narain Karthikeyan, who was very popular, and now we have Karun Chandhok as a driver. We have seen the interest in Formula One growing enormously, but as yet we did not have a world-class race in India. So we are building this wonderful circuit, with a great deal of interest not only from spectators but also from big Indian corporations who want to know how to get involved in the sport. And this is why Formula One is coming to India - as it is a huge market. We see a huge amount of interest from the young population, and you must not forget that India has the fastest growing middle class in the world. Also the average age in India is much lower than anywhere else. The technical side of India is growing very fast, and we get interest from people who want to work at the circuit because they are excited by the technology and the innovation. Even India’s largest infrastructure companies are very interested in working at the circuit.

Q: What can we expect from the circuit and what will make it stand out from all the other new tracks that have joined the calendar recently?
MH: One thing that we will see is a lot of Indian enthusiasm. If you go to any major sports event in India, like cricket or the Commonwealth Games, you see a lot of people and a lot of patriotism. Everyone is wearing Indian-branded clothing, waving Indian flags and has the Indian national colours painted on their face. There’s also the noise and the atmosphere. There are very few countries in the world that are as passionate as India when it comes to sport. So I think when Karun comes to drive in India the level of passion is going to lift him enormously - he is going to have 150,000 spectators rooting for him.

Q: Are there any tracks you will draw inspiration from?
MH: We have worked very closely with Hermann Tilke who came up with the initial design. And we have shared the design with some of the Formula One teams to put it into their simulators, and they have come back with some recommendations on how to modify it to make it a little more exciting. We have come up with a formula to build it. The track itself is not flat, even though the land is very flat. We have moved 4 million cubic tons of earth to give it a lot of undulation. Between Turn One and Turn Three the track goes up by 14 metres and it goes into a blind crest. So we looked at what makes a circuit exciting. Turn 10 is going to be very similar to Turn Eight in Turkey, a very long turn. It’s not quite that long, but it is a double-apex corner, slightly banked, and it has 13,000 seats around it like in an arena. I think the drivers are going to find it a good challenge. So the track is quite unique, and hopefully the drivers and teams will not complain as they have given their own input. It was a good opportunity, as we were in the early stages of construction, so we were able to do that. Tilke has quite a good relationship with the teams, but I don’t think that as a promoter and venue owner this has been done before. Sometimes the promoter is not involved until more construction has been undertaken. I have been lucky to have worked in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi before, so I have a good relationship with the teams myself. I was able to go to some of them and ask them if they are able to give their input and the feedback has been invaluable.

Q: How important is it to the race to have an Indian team and an Indian driver?
MH: I don’t think it was instrumental in the Jaypee Group deciding to run a Grand Prix, but it’s certainly instrumental for the future plans, in terms of selling tickets, marketing the event, getting the enthusiasm of the public behind the sport. India is such an incredible country that they want to have these big international events. Also the Commonwealth Games, which will take place in October this year, is going to be a fantastic event. Formula One next year will become India’s largest sporting event.

Q: What level of interest do you anticipate? Will the first Indian Grand Prix be a sell-out?
MH: We certainly hope so. We’ve already had a lot of enquiries from individuals wanting to know when they can buy tickets, and people wanting to know what the ticket prices will be like. We will be sensible about the pricing, as we do not want to make it too expensive. We have several general admission areas, so there will be an entry-level ticket which will be more affordable, going up to the main grandstand and hospitality levels. We aim to have a minimum crowd of 120,000, which will generate an incredible atmosphere.

Q: Can you say something about the track’s construction schedule? What will happen when? We hear that the tarmac will be laid in late autumn...
MH: In the beginning the construction involved a lot of earth works, as the land is very flat, so we had to move a lot of earth to build the areas. It’s not just a case of moving enough earth to have a 12-metre wide track. We need to have the run-off areas, the service roads, the areas for the grandstands, which all in all has been a huge job. In July and August we have the monsoon season in India, so we finished the earth works before that and we will see what happens to this after the monsoon and schedule the asphalt after that. We have now appointed 95 percent of the contractors, including the one for the asphalt. We will probably be ready by the end of July next year for the FIA to do the homologation. The plan is to have a race at the end of next season, but we will see where it actually fits in the calendar.

Q: You were involved in both Bahrain’s and Abu Dhabi’s recent Formula One projects. What are the similarities and differences between those projects and this one?
MH: The similarity is that they are all countries who have not had Formula One before. One benefit in India is that there are two club circuits and there has been some club racing. Volkswagen has recently launched a Polo Cup there, so we do have some motorsport. In Bahrain it was the first track in the Middle East. From my point of view I am working very closely together with the (motorsport) Federation in India to help train officials and they have been very supportive. One of the big differences is the population - it’s such a big country. We have a lot of volunteers in the Middle East. It took time to build up the marshals and the officials. We have already got that level of interest in India, and that is a real bonus for us. As it is the first race in India we have to go through an education process for the spectators and the ticket buyers. Also we need to explain how a race weekend works. They may have seen qualifying and the race on TV, but they have not yet appreciated it’s a three-day live event with support races. They don’t know that they can come and buy merchandise and memorabilia. It’s not like going to an IPL cricket match that last for two hours - it is a three-day festival. A lot of people in India haven’t seen a Formula One car. We have been lucky that Renault have run a Formula One car in Delhi before. Last year Red Bull ran a car in Mumbai. Both generated a lot of interest, and obviously people follow Force India and Karun, but until you hear a Formula One car for the first time, you don’t really appreciate what it’s like.

My sadness

Dia pasti marah padaku ...
Aku sudah menyakiti hatinya ...
Entah apa dia akan memaafkanku atau tidak ...
Tapi aku rasa tidak ...
Terlalu dalam luka yang kutorehkan di kalbunya ...
Maafkan aku, sayang ...

Back

I'm back ... to my seasonal hobby ... hahahaha

Kembali menggeluti hobi musiman ...
Welcome Formula 1 ...
Welcome MotoGP ...
And the new one, Moto2 ... Hehe

Entah mengapa aku sayang mereka semua, terutama Formula 1 ...
Sempat tak ingin kembali ke profesi lama sebagai pengamat Formula 1 ,,,
karena musim 2009 Formula 1 yang mengecewakan ...
Tapi akhirnya aku menyukainya lagi demi dua alasan kuat ...

Pertama, performa team Ferrari telah kembali pulih, serta Felipe Massa & Fernando Alonso membuat Ferrari cukup bersinar di kancah persaingan konstruktor ...

Kedua, kembalinya Michael Schumacher ke tengah ajang bergengsi Formula 1 ... walaupun cukup disesalkan sang legenda tidak bergabung dengan Ferrari yang telah membesarkan namanya, melainkan Schumi lebih memilih memperkuat team baru, Mercedes GP ...

MotoGP pun tak kalah mendebarkan ...
Walaupun ajang MotoGP akhirnya hanya diikuti oleh 17 pembalap, namun aku merasa balapan yang satu ini selalu pantas disaksikan ...

Persaingan bukan hanya muncul dari Valentino Rossi, namun juga pembalap muda yang telah lama berkecimpung disini serta dari salah satu Rookie yang aku kagumi, Ben Spies ... hehe ... nggak ganteng sih, tapi performanya nggak kalah dengan Andrea Dovizioso yang notabene lebih senior ...

Lain lagi halnya dengan Moto2 ...
Kelas pengganti 250cc di ajang MotoGP ini telah diikuti oleh 40 pembalap ditambah dengan 1 pembalap yang berhasil mendapatkan wildcard di tiap-tiap negara tempat diselenggarakannya perhelatan akbar MotoGP ...
Yang membuat balapan ini lebih mengasyikkan daripada 250cc adalah semua mesin pembalap disuplai oleh 1 supplier, sehingga performa tiap motor kurang lebih sama ...
Wah, ini yang seru ... Hanya tinggal perpaduan antara settingan mesin motor oleh para teknisi dan skill pembalap yang akan menentukan kejayaan para pembalap ...

Pokoknya balapan-balapan tahun 2010 ini bakal seru abizzz deh ...
Rugi kalo nggak nonton ...
Don't miss it, guys !!!
