For The Otomotif College (TOC) students Ahmad Anwarizam or Rizam, Muhammad Saufi and Muhammad Rushdi, they have one thing in common - their passion and interest for the motorsport industry, especially the karting world.
Being the active committee members of TOC's Go-Kart Club, the trio were delighted when they were presented with the opportunity to help out IRU1 Racing Team, an upcoming go-kart team, at the first race of PLUS Yamaha SL Cup (Malaysian series) held at Sepang International Go-Kart Circuit recently.

Rizam, President of TOC's Go-Kart Club, said that he was excited when informed of this unique chance. "When the college told me about this opportunity, I said yes immediately as I know this is something that does not come by easily. I know I can gain a lot of experiences when working for a real go-kart racing team, and that would help me in running the college's go-kart club."
"Seeing how a real racing team works gave me and my team mates more insight on how and what to prepare for a real race, and we benefited from this as we ourselves participate in races as well," he said.

Muhammad Saufi, who looks after technical aspect of TOC’s Go-Kart Club, admitted that he learned many things from this event. “ From the technical aspect, we learned about the geometrical set up of the kart, how to change the components of the kart such as tires, axle, sprocket wheel, how to fix the transponder and many others.
