There is a new track in Perak - TLDM track - Track Putra. It is temporary rc track before a new permanent track up in next year 2006 inside the TLDM base camp.

The track location is in TLDM Lumut base itself and they welcome all rc to come and play there during weekend. Almost everytime before they play rc they blow the track with Air blower. I could say it clean. The traction is good and smooth.

I posted some photos in the qd-race forum but i think better to put it here instead.

Nice! ........but where is the drivers stand?......

The driver stand is at the rightside inside the first photo. Blocked by the "pokok bunga".

As you can see the surface gravel is fine. Not like those Indera Mulia Ipoh surface. This temporary track is located in "kawasan larangan" because of near to VIP rest house. No nailing on the track surface.

Infact there was a small race consist of GP Expert, Novice and Electric held yesterday. After 2 Heat it spoil by heavy rain... But mind about my date on the photo it yesterday 27/11/2005 not 18/11 the camera date setting was incorrect..

Lumut is popular with Jeti Lumut to Pulau Pangkor. A nice place for holiday - Pangkor Beach Hotel, beach, beach girls,kain batik, fishing Pulau Sembilan etc..

Before you reach Tol Jelapang Ipoh to Pinang there will be a junction to highway Lumut. Lumut is tepi pantai where all our Naval big ship is kept!!.

Anyway the rain stop about 4:30pm and with the ambitios and outstanding TLDM crew they clean the track! For final !!!! With blower etc.

or you can cut out at bidor exit and hit towards lumut ,better still look for Sitiawan,cant rememebr the new name for it or look for pankor.....you will have to pass lumut to get to it.

tornado

a track right in lumut.........yipeeee!!............errr devious is right, guys from kl should head off from bidor and not at jelapang, nearer too. , after the bidor toll gate turn into bidor town and turn right at the traffic light in fornt of kfc. turn to your left at the next traffic light at the edge of bidor. follow the road signs as you go along. will be there in 1.5 hours.

esham

Or you can off further up to Simpang Pulai exit toll- Batu Gajah and straight to Lumut That way you can stop at the Perhentian Tapah for refreshment..

esham..since u post d photo so nice,explaning bout route,do u hv any plan to get a race der mybe for new year or after chinese new year?

TRUENO

I seconded mavicxxx's plan... maybe to organize one good race event there... I would love to race there (Bukan senang nak masuk Naval Base Camp... without any solid reason or purposes...) heheheheheeee... and another thing if they need a person to co-ordinate races or events... I would suggest MAVICXXX to be the EVENT MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT A.K.A RACE CONSULTANT... coz his mulut and his tangan very powerfull... he can get good numbers of participants... heheheheee... like what he did during the MPPP race...

Cabutzzz....
