Honda Việt Nam thúc đẩy hoạt động đua xe thể thao

Ba tay đua của Honda Racing Vietnam.

Honda Racing Vietnam là đội đua duy nhất đến từ Việt Nam tranh tài tại giải đấu quốc tế. Từ hợp tác thi đấu với đội Yuzy Malaysia, đội đã từng bước tự chủ được kỹ thuật, nhân sự để hoàn toàn độc lập tranh tài từ mùa giải 2019. Tinh thần chấp nhận thử thách đã thôi thúc Honda Racing Vietnam không ngừng cố gắng, được hiện thực hóa bằng sự trưởng thành vượt bậc…

Alfred holding out his hand: Hi! I don’t think I ever properly introduced myself, I’m Alfred!

Vietnam: Oh yes, hello! Feliciano’s told me about you.

Alfred internally: She didn’t say her name. My plan backfired. Oh no, oh no, oh no.

LOL, yes. Alfred in this fic is terrible at remembering names if he doesn't interact with people regularly, especially if they're in languages other than English and French, which he grew up with because of his dads. Of Savino's family in Rome, he now knows the names of Chiara because she made an impression on him in their first meeting and Patrizia, an aunt who seemed disapproving of him playing footsie with Savino, so he made sure to memorize who she was so he could steer clear of her. That's two people, and he's on his fourth day there. He would know Augusto's name (and his late wife Sofia, since he talks about her a lot), but in his head Vinny's grandfather is "Mr. Vargas," because that's his default for an unrelated adult that hasn't given him permission to use their first name, especially if he's trying to impress them. He knows he's bad at names and is afraid of offending people by not knowing their name or mispronouncing it, and he makes himself so anxious that his problem becomes even worse (hence how he could meet 30 people and remember one name at the end of the introductions). His overall language skills, which are not that strong in general, can deteriorate horribly when he's stressed. He was only able to introduce himself in Italian to Vinny's extended family because he downloaded the Duolingo app and started learning Italian literally the day he met him, but his pronunciation completely went to shit. (Some part of him knew Vinny was special from the beginning, so he made a bigger effort to learn a new language than he ever has with anyone else). He's learning Spanish in school, but he couldn't even attempt to read the Spanish manual for his espresso machine because he'd already screwed up trying to make coffee with the thing twice, and he had a hard time on his Spanish final during the listening section because people were speaking too fast. (Hopefully, when he gets a better relationship with Antonio next semester, he can ask him for help with studying Spanish.)

The reason this kid who is so terrible with languages and foreign names has such an international group of friends is that people can usually tell that Alfred means well and is trying his best, even if the end result sucks. But he's afraid of dealing with awkward situations like not knowing someone's name if he's met them before but not interacted with them regularly, such as with Savino's extended family or Feliciano's friends (except for Natalya, who he knew through Kateryna, because she's been his brother's girlfriend for a long time). He does like to give people nicknames if he's reasonable close to them, and a lot of it is "hey, I like you, so I'm going to give you a special nickname," but part of it to mask his poor language skills. "Feli" is easier for him than "Feliciano," for example. He might call Tolys's mom "Mrs. L" if he addresses her directly because "Laurinaitis" is still something he's afraid of butchering, even though he's been good friends with Tolys for years. He was so relieved when Antonio said he could call him Antonio, and in part it was because he didn't have to try to worry about pronouncing "Mr. Fernández-Carreido" correctly (he'd be better with his last name than most long foreign last names since he's learning Spanish in school, but the fact that he's subconsciously always trying to impress Antonio because he's in love with Savino makes his relatively decent Spanish skills much worse).

With human Vietnam and Taiwan, there's the additional factor of race, because he doesn't want to look like a racist white dude who carelessly butchers Asian people's names. Ethnicity can also be a factor, because he doesn't want to say "I cannot remember 30 new Italian names" to anyone because he thinks that sounds kind of iffy. One of his best friends is Japanese, but luckily "Kiku Honda" is a short name, so this was not a big deal the way it could have been if his name had been longer. It probably won't come up much in this fic, but I imagine human Vietnam and Taiwan would tell him it's okay to ask their name again or that it's not a big deal if he mispronounces a name in a language he has very little familiarity with. Because they can tell he is trying, even if he's having a really hard time.

MALAYSIAN MOTORCYCLE GRAND PRIX 2018

This weekend Malaysia was hosting the 18th round of the 2018 MotoGP Championship season.

It marked our 5 th time attending a MotoGp event since we began going to races in 2012 and our 4 th different host country. MotoGP series is a world class event attracting race fans from all over the world. The best racers from around the world compete in 3 different classes of motorcycles.

The Moto3 class features 250cc engine powered motos from various manufacturers such as Honda, KTM, Mahindra. The racers in this class are usually of younger age, some as young as 16 years old, which is minimum age required to compete. These young racers evolved from racing series in their home countries such as Asia Talent Cup series or Repsol CEV challenge or Red Bull rookies. This class is very highly disputed as the top rated racers in this class look to get a contract in next level racing class of Moto 2 and top level MotoGP. These motorcycles are fairly evenly matched as power output is concerned and drafting plays a major part of winning in this series. They are literally in many cases handlebar to handlebar for the entire duration of the race. The last race in Australia, there were 14 motorcycles crossing the finish line with only 0.900 seconds separating them. In this modern age of technology, transponders on the bikes can keep up with the non stop position changes. While the racers compete for points in the championship, so do the manufacturers and the various teams. The stakes are high as companies sponsor teams to promote their services and products to an ever increasing following of motorcycle racing fans. Motorcycle companies as well as a multitude of moto related parts and accessories have obviously stakes in sponsorship but even companies such as airlines , breweries , insurance an event some government tourism agencies join in on sharing the multi million fan base all over the world. It certainly works for me as I encourage companies that I see that are part of this series.

Singha the official beer and my official supply girl !

The Moto2 motorcycle class is composed of different chassis manufacturers powered by the exact same engine. For almost 10 years they have been using Honda CBR600RR based engines. The engines are provided by Honda, they are sealed as to avoid any internal modifications. I cannot recall any engine failure in this category. With power being the same for all bikes, chassis setup and rider talent is what sets apart first place from last.

The MotoGP class, is the top level feature class. It is the main event that attracts the biggest names and has the highest stakes. While each team has to respect certain requirements and given set of rules to promote the highest level of competition, it also allows for some non factory teams to access to higher level of competiteveness by allowing for certain privileges.

Attending a MotoGP weekend is a very special and rewarding experience. Not only is the level of competition the highest in the world, it is utterly exciting to witness the talent these racers have, their courage, their sportsmanship and very importantly the respect they have for the race fans that follow them and cheer them on and support them.

When the MotoGP rolls in to a host city , there is no way to deny the energy that it brings to the city and surroundings.

In Kuala Lumpur the entire city taken by the MotoGP fever , sparked by the fact that the local hero Hafizh Syarin was to be the first MotoGP level racer to compete on home soil. Personnel in bars and restaurants sporting team shirts or hats to display their support. As a #motogpfancanada I was overwhelemd by seeing all the motorcycle racing related promotions from clothing to posters displayed across the city.

While using public transportation, people display their team and rider colors everywhere !

Fridays are practice days, and allows teams and riders to setup their bikes to optimize every detail in order to qualify on the saturday for race day on sunday. At Sepang , friday practice day is free of charge for everyone ! To say, that the southeastern asian market is important would be an understatement. Especially for Honda and Yamaha, these 2 major japanese motorcyle companies have their biggest markets in Thailand,VietNam,Malaysia,Indonesia. While touring these countries, one can understand by the huge amount of 2 wheel transportation that goes on here, food delivery, people moving and parts delivery of any kind gets done by motorcycle. MotoGP has added a round this year in Thailand, increasing the number of races to 19 for the season. They start in March and end in November. There are 4 races in Asia and will most likely stay on the calendar for years to come.

The location of the Sepang race track is about 50 kms south of KL city centre. KL transit posted a shuttle service to and from the racetrack for the 3 day event, The price of a 2 way ticket was 35 RM. I took the shuttle from KL Sentral main terminal station. It took about 1 hour to get the circuit on friday morning. As many of who know me , I really enjoy motorcycle racing and to be in a bus full of race fans sporting their colors is an experience I cherish thoroughly. I got to meet people for Australia, New Zealand , UK and Hungary as well as many Malaysians.

There are many departures from KL Sentral, but if you are eager to arrive at the track as early as possible as I did, I did not mind the standing room bus ride.

Once you arrive at the track you see the huge lettering for Sepang on the side of a hill,

MotoGP weekend starts now.

As you walk towards the main gate you are exposed to all the sights and sounds of a motorcyle racing event. There are numerous stands selling merchandise of all kinds, as for me, a canadian fan it is difficult to obtain stuff like this back home. Today I am on a reconnaissance mission to explore the available merchandise being sold and which part of the stands I can get my best experience. Loud music fills the air at the gate area , bright colors and flags abound as you enter the site. In the background you start hearing the Moto3 bikes being started up for free practice 1 (FP1). If the sights and sounds bring back memories of my racing days back in Canada in the 80’s, the size of the racing venue here reminds me that this is not Shannoville Motorsports Park. https://www.facebook.com/groups/533885496621844/

SMP was great for me, however this here ,is the ultimate racing experience.

I could go on to write about all the racing action and the championships at stake , but if you are interested in reading more about that, there are plenty of stories to read across the net and social media. But what I want to share here is more the aspect of attending the event with all the other race fans at the site. There is a feeling of camaraderie at a MotoGP event unlike any other motorsport. While many fans here are motorcyclist themselves, not all are , but all are taken by the energy in the air. We met a young family from Gatineau Québec on our bus shuttle ride back to the train. It was their first MotoGP event ever and are not motorcyclists but they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.It is difficult to not be overwhelmed by such an event when you are with 103,000 spectators !

One of the reasons we attended the MalaysianGP , besides the fact that we were already in Asia on our #ourworldtour , was to rejoin our friends from Switzerland. We met the 2 brothers, Marc and Thomas at our first MotoGP event back in 2012 in Aragon,Spain. Our paths crossed during the entire weekend in Aragon and beyond, and our friendship was created and meant to be. We kept in touch over the years , remet in twice in Europe and once in Montréal. It was a real pleasure to rejoin them in Kuala Lumpur, sharing our views on world ethics, having a few pints over some great food. The funny aspect of this relationship was that the first weekend we met,we all spoke english to each other. They are german speaking Swiss citizens and it took us many months after we met to realise that they both speak excellent french, actually understanding our Québécois french and learning some of our expressions very rapidly ! In true Swiss fashion, they are both multi lingual as Marc speaks not only german,french,english but italian as well ! I envy their ability to be able to converse in so many languages. Thank you both Marc and Thomas for the great time together, and Au revoir à la prochaine mes amis !

Anytime more then 100,000 people get together in one location it is sure to have some consequences on logistics. Getting to and from the track was another experience of its own. On friday, I took the shuttle bus back to the KL City Centre (KLCC) and it turned out to be a 3 hour long ride in a massive trafic jam.

Again, looking at the bright side, I got to share a seat (rather narrow) with a young Indonesian grafic artist and we got to chat all the way back to KLCC. It is surprising and heartwarming how most people here are receptive when they learn that we are canadians. Canada has a great reputation in many places across the planet and we should ALL be very PROUD of this heritage. Sylvie and I are both extremely grateful for this, and all Canadians can rest assured that we will leave our mark to ensure that Canada keep its rating !

The shuttle bus to the track works well, in the morning, so saturday we took shuttle to the track. Sharing stories with some aussie friends along the way, we also took time to distribute some maple candy to many people on the bus that was greatly appreciated.

We actually saw some people later the next day that we had given candy to and they came to say hello and tell us how good they thought the candy was ! That is what we enjoy the most about our travels, beyond the sites, it is the people we meet and can share with. There are many more good people on this planet then bad, and most attend MotoGP events, OK I am a litte biased !

Saturday is race qualification day that determines grid position for the sunday race. KL is located a mere 3 degrees north of the equator, it is hot and HUMID. Late saturday afternoon it POURED for some 30-40 minutes delaying the last qualification session. While most people looked for shelter, the rain actually felt good in 35C heat ! After the day was over, our friends, Sylvie and I decide to take a TEKSI to the nearby KL airport and to take the KL Expres train into the city ! A little more expensive but much quicker !

For Sunday race day, the organisers of MotoGP decided to advance the schedule by 2 hours fearing that a late afternoon heavy rainstorm could delay the event. Motorcycles race in the rain but at times when conditions are simply to dangerous, delays are unavoidable. It was a good decision as all 3 races were run under dry conditions.

Leaving the track with 103,900 other people was somewhat chaotic, albeit organised ! We did repeat the train part from KLIA2 however there were no TEKSIs and only a shuttle bus to the airport. We did manage to get back to the city centre to have our last meal and a few drinks with our friends Marc and Thomas, and it was the end of a fantastic weekend to a great event. To be repeated somewhere, somehow in another part of the world in 2019 !

10 iconic movies with DARK hidden meanings

You may think that most Hollywood blockbusters are designed purely to entertain punters and make a load of cash. Well, you may be surprised that some of the most popular movies ever made often have hard-hitting political messages woven throughout them.

Below are seven hidden meanings in films that might surprise even their biggest fans.

WARNING: Spoilers ahead.

Star Wars Is Really About The Vietnam War

In a 2005 interview Lucas confirmed that “’Star Wars’ was really about the Vietnam War.”

Lucas said that he thought of the tiny, peaceful Ewoks as like Viet Cong fighters battling against the might of the American war machine saying: “That was the period where Nixon was trying to run for another term, which got me to thinking historically about how do democracies get turned into dictatorships? Because the democracies aren’t overthrown; they’re given away.”

The Lord of the Rings Is Really About The Battle of the Somme

J. R. R. Tolkien’s army unit was sent to the Battle of the Somme in 1916, where 60,000 British soldiers died one day during the infamous ‘over the top’ trench assault. Overall, nearly a million people were killed, making it one of the bloodiest battles in human history.

Speaking later of his experiences in France, Tolkien simply said, “It was like a death.”

As he recovered in hospital, Tolkien wrote his first Middle-Earth story: ’Fall of Gondolin’ a strange, stand-alone tale featuring dragons which were half beast and half machine. These dragons are a metaphor of the tanks, which the British used in the mud of the Somme. Peter Jackson’s depiction of Saruman’s orcs being created recalls this imagery of animal fused with metal, as does his metallic, robot-like depiction of the villain Sauron.

In letters to friends, Tolkien admitted that the hellish marshes which the heroes of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ splash through were directly inspired by his experiences of France. In a letter, he wrote, "The Dead marshes and the approaches to the Morannon owe something to Northern France after the Battle of the Somme."

Observers have also commented on the significance of the One Ring, which is widely considered to represent the atomic bomb.

Godzilla Is Really About Hiroshima

The original black and white ‘Godzilla’ film was made in Japan in the early Fifties when the country was still reeling from the twin nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The first ‘Godzilla’ film includes scenes with scientists carrying Geiger counters taking radiation readings from Godzilla’s radioactive footprints, and the monster is revealed to have been created in a nuclear explosion.

When this news comes out, some characters immediately argue that it must be kept secret. 

For Honda and his Japanese audience, the real villain would not have been hard to discern: the escalating Cold War, and in particular the arms race between America and the Soviet Union.

Written in 1898, the science fiction classic ‘The War of the Worlds’ has been filmed many times, but in none of those versions would a viewer suspect that the aliens represent white Europeans hell-bent on colonising the world.

The book was written to horrify readers with a vision of what it would be like if Europe were confronted by a contemptuous, technologically superior force – much in the manner the British Army had as it colonised countries around the world. Wells, a lifelong socialist, was particularly horrified by the war of extermination waged against the Aborigines in Tasmania by British colonial forces.

In the novel, Wells writes, “The Tasmanians, in spite of their human likeness, were entirely swept out of existence in a war of extermination. Are we such apostles of mercy, as to complain if the Martians warred in the same spirit?”

The Dark Knight Is Really About The War On Terror

In Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’, despite a truly chilling villain in the form of Heath Ledger’s cackling Joker, it’s no longer clear who the bad guy really is. Is it the psychopathic terrorists who attack Gotham, or is it the increasingly draconian authorities? Parallels with America’s War on Terror run through the film.

The first parallel is the shift from the regular comic book bad guys that shoot lasers from the moon in order to take over the world. This time the threat was more sinister. The Joker blew up public buildings (including a hospital) and convinced weak criminals to become suicide bombers.

Once this realistic threat was established, more similarities can be compared. The Harvey Dent Act is a direct echo of the Patriot Act and there’s the questionable ethics of Batman’s bank of surveillance equipment that enables him to spy on everyone. There’s also the forcible extradition of Lau from Hong Kong, echoing the CIA’s tactics of “extraordinary rendition”.

RoboCop Is Really About Jesus Christ

Director Paul Verhoeven has admitted that his 1987 sci-fi classic is basically “the American Jesus” story and the similarities are easy to spot.

"It is about a guy that gets crucified after 50 minutes,” the filmmaker told MTV, “Then is resurrected in the next 50 minutes and then is like the super-cop of the world, but is also a Jesus figure as he walks over water at the end."

He’s a resurrected man on a quest for justice who is violently killed when those closest to him betray him. To earn his redemption he must confront those who betrayed him, and the final scene with Murphy seemingly walking across water is the icing on this thickly-laid metaphor. 

Of course, Jesus in the Bible didn’t mete out justice with a handgun, but let’s ignore that for the moment shall we?

Alien 3 Is Really About AIDs

Rolling Stones’ film critic Peter Travers called David Fincher’s feature film debut “the first $50 million thriller that also functions as an AIDS allegory” and it’s a layer of subtext that bears up to scrutiny.

AIDs was a hot topic in the late 80s and early 90s and ‘Alien 3′ is a damning indictment on how America reacted to the so-called “AIDs epidemic”. The deaths of Hicks and Newt highlight the disease’s seemingly random nature. There’s the imagery of shorn hair, Ripley’s “infection”, and an enemy that takes down the weak and strong with ease.

Add to that a reviled colony of men ostracised from society, who’ve taken a vow of celibacy, and a pharmaceutical company that arrives to profit from their pain, and the message is quite clear. As Dillon says: “Why? Why are the innocent punished? Why the sacrifice? Why the pain? There aren't any promises. Nothing certain. Only that some get called, some get saved.”

Groundhog Day Is Really About Zen And The Path To Enlightenment 

There are many different ways of interpreting Phil Connors’ story. Some say Punxsutawney Phil - the groundhog - is a metaphor for Christ resurrected, while some say the town is Purgatory, but the most compelling explanation for the film comes from director Harold Ramis’ mother-in-law, a Zen Buddhist.

Ramis explained at a lecture in 2009 that she’d called to tell him the abbots and senior monks at her Buddhist retreat had seen the film and loved it, saying “they thought it expressed a fundamental Buddhist concept.” The theory goes that Connors is what Buddhists call a “bodhisattva”,  someone “who, motivated by great compassion, has generated bodhicitta, which is a spontaneous wish to attain buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings.”

And you just thought it was Bill Murray fooling around. 

Toy Story 3 Is Really About The holocaust

Guardian film critic Jordan Hoffman first wrote about this interpretation of Lee Unkrich’s seemingly harmless animated threequel back in 2010 while writing for UGO.

He argues that the toys left behind by Andy when he goes off for college represent the Jews abandoned by their host nations when the Third Reich conquered Europe. The toys discuss their options echoing a scene in Roman Polanski’s Holocaust drama ‘The Pianist’ where they say “We won’t just be abandoned, we can be useful to them”. Buzz steps forward and even suggests hiding in the attic.

Instead they’re sent to Sunnyside, the film’s concentration camp, where they meet Sonderkommandos like Ken who aid the guards and lead the innocent to their deaths. It’s a very grim reading of the film, particular when you consider the incinerator scene, and definitely not the message promoted by Pixar at the time of release.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit Is Really About Gentrification And Segregation

Robert Zemeckis’ 1988 live action animation hybrid was a groundbreaking piece of work and not just for its incredible seamless visual effects. The story of the encroachment of Toon Town can be read as a metaphor for the gentrification of Los Angeles where many poor black people were forced out of their neighbourhoods.

The theory, first discussed on Reddit, argues that the ‘toons, like black people, are largely seen as performers - a nod to Minstrel culture - and Christopher Lloyd’s Judge Doom is a typical Uncle Tom trope, a ‘toon who sells out his own people for his personal benefit.

Jessica Rabbit is “a symbol for women of mixed racial heritage and the way that white men frequently felt confused about their desire for them”, while even the word “‘toon” which is a slur against the cartoon folk, is worryingly similar to a horrific racial slur of years gone by.
