Colombo Road Race

Pericles · December 19, 2011

There seems to be a whole lot of people who aren't aware of the SL racing scene. Like Ashan's Evo and now Lakshika. Well, maybe SL racing will get a few more fans from these events, thats always a good thing.

But I'm impressed with Lankadeepa, they've got some good shots. I hope its actually their shots and not something they lifted off somebodies private work, they have a history of stealing pictures.

Can't believe how such an accident had happen with Dilantha's Lambo. Road conditions? or Maintenance Crew? I believe it wasn't in 100kmps+ speed at the bend.

Saw in news paper there were 5 injured. But not critical.

thank god they are ok,

Yes we may know more of foreign racing and drivers than local. Hope this kind of racing events will continue. Love to see a formula kind of track in Sri Lanka and more international level drivers..

Kalum and Uditha did their level best to remove people from that area in both days, sometimes they asked cops to remove people but no one wanted to move, even after the crash still people came there to watch the next race, our people never learn

Well, Lakshika has been around for some time. I remember seeing a profile of her somewhere, either magazine or site. Someone had done a pretty good job with the pictures accompanying the article.

Yeah that girl is awesome with her march. If I remember right she comes from a racing family, her brothers and father has a racing background. She also hosts a tv show about cars in some tv channel. She's got a pretty good knowledge about vehicles.

damn looks like that crashed Porsche caught fire and exploded.

Its kinda hilarious about the camera mans comments.

The best thing is in Nissan March 1000CC (or in whole races) event a LADY (SA Lakshika) took the 3rd place.

Not to mention she made the CEO's son spin during the race

Yep, ones she came first while her two brothers came in as 2nd and 3rd. It was all over the papers too.

New pictures added to the album.

BTW guys, Please feel free to leave +1's and comments on the albums and pics if you like them.

Only SL-GT and the Malaysian GT cars to go. Hopefully I'll have them ready by this evening.

how do I put a +1? do I have to register or something?

Not that I am aware of. There should be a button. There is even one on this page in AL, at the bottom of the page along with the twitter and FB buttons.

I'm not sure if you need to be signed into your google account tho, or if you need a G+ account. I'm generally signed in so the button just shows up for me.

Wow. Great photo collection!

I am also logged in. But I cant see a +1 anywhere. Is it on the single picture view or in thumbnail view? I can only comment the pics.

Can you put a screenshot?

Think Pasindu came first, judging by the fact that he came and did a few do-nuts for the crowd in front of Galadari after completing the race. He did a lot better than that GT4 driver in the second Porsche, who made something of a mess of it. Well, I guess that car is supposed to grip, not slide.

Pasindu,Ashan,Darin

Ashan had a mishap with a backmarker (Nigel) on final lap when leading.Pasidu was very lucky to grab the lead.

Looks like its on the single pic view, which is sorta disappointing. Thought they had it for albums too.

Yeah she did great against male opponents. Best part is she knows how to send guys spinning ...emulating her elder bro Dumi

Some interesting pics floating around FB. Too bad, I seem to have missed some interesting stuff I added a pic of Hamilton's F1 car which was taken from street level, and with a lot of people in the way, so not great... Ah well, can't be everywhere at once.

Thanks. Got it. For me it's not on the single pic view but on the normal view (same as AL "Like" button. shows on the left bottom of the each and every post). On the single pic view only shows comment, options and details only. may be customized for each person (as owner, viewer etc.).

Possibly they haven't got everything sorted after the upgrades yet. There was a major change over the weekend.

I was watching the clip on YT and it looked like pasindu kinda nudged ashan which resulted in him swerving out... I dont know, what do you guys think?
