The my-KART Mega Enduro series is a team based series for amateur and rental karters. The team comprises several drivers meeting a minimum aggregate weight (subject to event rules), and taking relay turns in racing over the full race duration which is around 90minutes.
All my-KART drivers are eligible to participate in the Mega Enduro series. The teams can be formed by any group of drivers, but each team must have one team principle and assistant team principle. The team's participation will depend on either the TP and ATP's participation. This is intended to manage the number of different teams throughout the annual series.
This section reports the progress of the 2006 Mega Enduro series. Keep track of the progress of the respective teams here on my-kart.org!
Forza my-KART!

Plus Speedway Kart Circuit (CW)
Tail Happy Racing claimed their first race win of the year and moves to third overall in the 2006 MegaEnduro championship. The race was however stopped 15 minutes from the scheduled end due to heavy rain rendering the track slippery and dangerous. But it is PC Net Comm that clinches the 2006 Championship crown by finishing 3rd behind runner up Team Aliens.
Tail Happy team principal and driver Fazz Rahman enthused "I am extremely delighted with this result. This win puts us ahead of Team Novice and into 3rd overall. I had to make a difficult decision not to drive in this round and instead manage the team strategy. Happily for us, the strategy worked like clockwork. I am grateful to Alex, Deanna, Azlan and Ashraff for delivering our first win of the season."
PC Net Comm team principal Azmee was equally pleased, "We had a good start to 2006, but we started having a lot of bad luck in the end. So finishing third just behind Team Aliens was enough for us to clinch our first my-KART MegaEnduro title. I am pleased for the team."
Team Heavies, SAVOC Racing and Team Novice were the other finishers.
Like the recently completed K2 and K3 season, the MegaEnduro was another down to the wire battle. Stuff of Hollywood movies. Will we see another photofinish? Will the season leader falter at the end?
As the my-KART enduro season approached its finale, Team Aliens -fresh from winning round 5- were already prepping for the final attack on season long leaders, PC Net Comm. Team Aliens put together a formidable team comprising 3 of the top 4 drivers of the 2006 K2 and Henzee who was a 2006 K2 race winner.

PC Net Comm had been experiencing a slump in recent races which was starting to look like the Renault F1 of '05 & '06 - good start to the season, but slow finish. Their task was to claim as many points as possible and stay ahead on points of Aliens. Despite some problems early on, PC Net clung on to the race and determinedly finished 3rd which meant that Aliens could not overhaul their points advantage.
Team Aliens were magnanimous in defeat - "all our drivers have had an excellent year. Razak won the K2 championship proving that age and maturity (or lack of it) was no barrier to winning. My son and I had been strong all year in K2 and just missed out on the championship opportunity... so finishing second in the MegaEnduro championship is another icing on a very rich cake" beamed Aliens team principal Naza.
The wonderful race outing was slightly marred by an incident involving SAVOC Racing when one of its drivers had an incident which threw him partly out of the kart. Once again, this was a painful reminder that racing is still dangerous, and my-KART must constantly emphasise safety in racing.
Drivers are encouraged to provide their own account of the race as comments to this thread.

Sepang Go-Kart Circuit (CW)
Once again PC Net Comm demonstrated their clear intent on challenging for the 2006 Mega Enduro title by winning their second race running. The top 3 finishers of round were the exact same teams as in round 1.
Team Aliens finised as runners up, whilst Fast & Furious complete the podium.
Team Novice showed good progress as they shed their "novice" status by finishing fourth and running as high as second before the third pitstop. Team Novice principal Patrick Tan stated that they had miscalculated the fuel level which was short by a mere 2 laps.
Fifth place went to Gila Racing. The Team had struggled from the start with brakes which lost them time on the track and in the pitstops (as they rectified it) between the first and the second stints.
Sixth place went to Team Heavies whose strategy was simply to win. Team principal, Yip Yen claimed that he was upset that they did not win, and mumbled that they need to improve on their future strategy on HOW to win.
Last finisher was Tail Happy Racing. Tail Happy was plagued by mechnical problems halfway through the second stint as initially a fuel line problem resulted in the team losing drive. Subsequently the team faced terminal problems with their first kart (no 11) in the third stint. A long delay ensued before the team took a replacement kart (no 8). Unfortunately, once again problems hit them in the final stint when the chain came off twice within a space of one lap.
