Team GTO in Marbel Autocross doing marvel










Team GTO composed of only 2 cars and 2 drivers this time... but the camaraderie with the Davao and Gensan group of Racers is non-quantifiable.

The object for the team in this race is to prove that it's not all about the driver.

Our newbie racer "Stephen" owner of the Green Tech'd GTP Level 5 Honda City 1300cc proved that the Technology is not all about the driver... but also with the car and what was done to it.

Both the X-Taxi and the City has the same GTP level set up. But the difference is one has a GTE5 while the other has a GTE6... the one that has the 5" Tsunami is carbureted while the one with the 6" has Electronic Injection. The Honda City being a newer car relative to the Sentra is far stronger and faster, but we did not match them. They were entered into 2 different categories.

The Honda and it's driver Stephen entered Novice Stock A and Novice Stock A-Modified classes. He placed 2nd in the 2nd category.

While the Sentra on the other hand entered 2 categories as well at Intermediate Stock A and Intermediate Modifed Stock A.

Armed with very limited fuel budget... much as we hate it... we needed to drive economically... by keeping our right foot restrained, even when we are in a very very beautiful highway.

At any rate, Winning was not the object of this trip to Marbel... it was all about the journey of more than 300 kms. more or less one way and another back. It was the joy of knowing that your motley outfit or small car could make it there with flying colors and even get to take home the bacon at the end of the day... It was the joy of knowing that your measely 1300cc engine could actually drive and feel like it is King of the road!... and even felt like you are flying a jetplane at very low altitude.

To top it all... the joy of driving your car daily for work, school or play and not being worried about your engine and oil... even if it was treated 6 months or even 2 years ago... without an Oil Change... except for the filters.

Thank you Team GTO!

Notes to ponder

Soot Could Slow Down Global Warming

NASA claims that the government could slow down worldwide global warming by cutting down on soot emissions. Studies by NASA show that cutting down on soot would not only have an immediate cooling effect, but would also put a stop to many of the deaths caused by air pollution. When soot is formed, it typically travels through the air absorbing and releasing solar radiation which in turn begins to warm the atmosphere. Cutting soot emissions would be an immediate help against global warming, as the soot would quickly fall out of the atmosphere and begin to cool it down.

Cutting back on soot emissions would buy us time in our fight against global warming. Soot is caused by the partial burning of fossil fuels, wood and vegetation. Soot is known to contain over forty different cancer causing chemicals, and a complete cut would offer untold health benefits worldwide.


What's The Biggest Contributor To Climate Changes?

Environmental conservation has always been a topic for lengthy discussions, but up until recent times, global warming and climate changes were vague subjects, with no hard proof. Not surprisingly, the previous lack of attention to these issues have created a very gloomy outlook on our future. So, considering all this, what could be the biggest contributor to climate changes through global warming? Transportation - the man-made iron horses, flying machines and sea monsters, so to speak.

The question we have now is how green is our transportation? The majority of the worlds' vehicles are fueled by oil (petrol, diesel and kerosene). Even if they rely on electricity, the stations used to generate this electricity use fossil fuels for power! Excluding vehicle manufacture, transportation is responsible for 14% of the artificially created greenhouse emissions, mostly carbondioxide.

Automobiles, trains and planes are all responsible for this problem, but cars are the highest impact-makers. They release approximately six times more carbondioxide than a plane and seven times more than sea vessels.

What is Air Pollution?

Air pollution is somewhat difficult to define because many air pollutants, at low concentrations, are essential nutrients for the sustainable development of ecosystems. So, air pollution could be defined as:A state of the atmosphere, which leads to the exposure of human beings and/or ecosystems to such high levels or loads of specific compounds or mixtures thereof, that damage is caused. With very few exceptions, all compounds that are considered air pollutants have both natural as well as human-made origins.

Air pollution is not a new phenomenon; in Medieval times, the burning of coal was forbidden in London while Parliament was in session. Air pollution problems have dramatically increased in intensity as well as scale due to the increase in emissions since the Industrial Revolution.
