OK guys, this time Terato had a several beautiful shot of the Classic Car Race held at Sepang as a support event for A1 GP. This car was brought from Hong Kong classic car craze(club actually). And one car that really fascinate me is this one,
a 67 Mustang. Similar car that had been use in the film Gone In 60 Seconds, witch feature this car as the highlight. Eleanor to be precise. If you want to see the rest of the pictures, log on to Terato.Com or just simply click at the picture.
Hemmmm...itulah tajuknya. Tak berapa pasti samada Formula Students ni sama dengan Formula Varsity yang dianjurkan UTem. Mungkin perspektif dan hala tujunya sama tapi fasiliti dan sponsorship yang lebih kurang@lebih teruk. Formula Varsity telah berjaya dianjurkan sebanyak 2 kali di Malaysia setakat ini. Dan untuk melahirkan pelumba, engineer dan apa sahaja yang berkaitan dengan perkembangan sukan bermotor, rasanya tak salah klau Formula Varsity ni akan dapat lebih banyak penganjur. Mungkin setaraf Cub Prix Malaysia, atau lebih lagi kerana Formula Varsity ni dipelopori oleh pelajar-pelajar sendiri. Bukan ke baik untuk mengembangkan lagi bakat-bakat dan idea orang tempatan. Kita dah pun ada pelajar dari UTP yang berpengalaman berlumba di luar negara bagi Formula Students. Dan rasaya lebih ramai pelajar kejuruteraan dari universiti-universiti di Malaysia yang patut diketengahkan. Inilah pioneer yang boleh diangkat untuk menjadi lebih baik @ terbaik. Ini perkara serius yang patut kita dalami. Kenderaan yang digunakan bukan basikal buruk yang diletakkan enjin mesin rumput. Contohnya kereta UTP yang bertanding di Australia. Enjin CBR600 yang diletakkan di dalam chasis boleh memecut 0-100kmj hanya dalam masa 4-5 saat. Lajuuuuuuuuuuu. Tapi berapa ramai yang tahu? Hemmm..Rasanya we should give credits to them. Harap-harap event macam ni akan lebih diketengahkan. For the sake of Malaysia Motorsports.
Tentang Formula Students, boleh layari laman web ni di www.formulastudents.com dan untuk Formula Varsity, boleh tengok blog ni di www.formulavarsity.wordpress.com. Kolej Komuniti kan ada di Rompin. Giat Mara pun ada. Kalaulah ada wakil dari Rompin, alangkah bestnyeeeeeeeeeeeeee....Huhu..So, tengok lah blog ni....TQ..
However, place is limited and those who plan to attend to RSVP with Harun @ 0123280919 and at RACE’s Facebook. This is because we are planning to have some light refreshments and we need to plan.
Wrecked Magz covered the event of Redbull Drfit Championship. Well, the 2008 season is over and Malaysian No1 drifter Tengku Djan placed himself at top 16. The last race at Port of Long Beach, California took him to top 16 and the overall winner for 2008 is Rhys Miller. Please remember that this is one of the biggest drift event in the world and i think Tengku Djan done a great job. So this is the edited video of the event and I hope you can enjoy it..TQ
Season 12 of Top Gear once again give us the best of the best. On episode 4, they had a VW super car that is Bugatti Veron gone head to head with mighty Zonda F. You should watch this episode because for the first time, the Bugatti did the hot lap at Top Gear circuit and for the first time, 'Captain Slow' have a taste of super car on the track. Hell it was great. But pity, the Bugatti only reach 5th place behind the Zonda F. Power vs weight ratio guys. Come on!!! But, on a drag race, the Zonda F got owned. Big time!! And those three host (which is my fav hosts) challenged themselves with 800km journey from Switzerland to Blackpool, England with only one full tank. They had a Jag, a Subaru, and a VW. A lot of things happened along the journey and I kept on laughing every time they open up their mouth. Especially to 'Captain Slow'.
Well, the reason I post something about Top Gear today is because I love the show. Reallyyy, really love it. And one more thing is, because they make fun of the PUG. Don't know why they hate that French car so much(Well, it's obvious.LOL). And it happen to be that I'm one of the owner. Sigh!! They make fun to somebody on that show who own a 306 and again, it happen to be that i'm the owner of 306. I want to make this straight. Ok. 306 is one of the best car that had been produce by Peugeot and i never been in a car with the same level but better from it. Good handling, great perfomance, so relaxing on cruise mod. A very good car. I'm not saying this because i drive one, but try to live with it. You'll be satisfied. But it's not a big deal anyway. I still love the show. Still love to watch Jeremy, Richard, and 'Captain Slow' run the show. So, check out the show website at TopGear.com. Seriously, they are the best.
WIRA DANI BLEW CHANCES WINNING MALAYSIAN SUPER SERIES (MSS) CROWN
Malaysian Wira Dani Daim blew his chances of winning his first ever Malaysian Super Series crown after failing to finish the final race of the season following a driving error at the A1GP Malaysia 2008/09 at Sepang Circuit today.
Needing only five points and an easy seventh place to secure the overall Supercar title, Wira Dani skidded into the grass while going comfortably in second position behind sole challenger Mok Weng Sun. The undercarriage of his Radical SR8 machine hit the kerb while going back into the track before the engine died off.
Through the TV screens, a desperate Wira Dani was seen trying hard to have the engine restart; staying in the car for a few minutes before track marshals moved into to push it to the sides; ending his race and his championship dreams.
Clearly the fastest driver over the weekend, Mok, who scored an easy win in Race 1 yesterday with a massive 12-second margin over Wira Dani; cruised to the chequered flag to take 20 more precious points and his second major title in Sepang.
Mok, who won the 12-hour Petronas Primax 3 Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race with Team Singapore Porsche Club, took his total haul to 147 points to win his first ever MSS title. Wira Dani finished second overall with 142 points with defending champion Dilantha Malagamuwa of Sri Lanka in third with 130 points.
Run together with the Supercar and Supersixteen cars, the Supersaloon Championship saw Malaysia's Drag King Lai Wee Sing winning Race 2 today to move into joint second in the overall standings with 85 points with Sharjihan Ghouse Khalid, who came second in the race.
The Supersaloon Championship had already been won by Boy Wong Yew Choong, who also clinched the 1600cc Supersixteen overall crown despite finishing a poor eighth in Race 1 yesterday. With the title secured, Boy had skipped Race 2 today.
The Supersixteen race was won by Kok Pak Chiang, who recorded his second win for the weekend to install his name as winner for Round 5. Damian Dielenberg and Moo Wei Leong are second and third respectively for the round, which took into account results for both Race 1 and Race 2.
Run as one of the support races for the A1GP Malaysia 2008/09, the MSS is Malaysia's national championship for track racing and pits the best of Malaysian racers against top international drivers in a five-round championship with the final round traditionally organized as support races for the A1GP Malaysian round.
The A1GP Malaysia 2008/09 race is promoted by Carbon Worldwide, which is also responsible for all the commercial arrangements for the event. SIC is responsible for the race management of the main race as well as the support races.
23 November, 2008, Sepang: Team GSR Pennzoil celebrated a spectacular year in the Malaysian Rally Championship 2008 with lead driver Karamjit Singh taking home the trophy for first overall this sixth and final Round and scoring his tenth Championship win. He was trailed by Team Manager, Gunaseelan Rajoo who finished second today and fellow team mate P. Nandakumar who finished third.
Karamjit also won the P12 category while Gunaseelan took home the A8 category trophy.
“This year went as planned, we wanted to be the top two cars and we are and, of course, we clinched class wins and the Team trophy,” said Gunaseelan. “We are happy both cars got through the very rough stages intact and without serious problems,” he added.
Karamjit’s said he’ll rally for another 10 years. “Everyone is asking me when I will retire. When I get another 10 MRC Championship trophies I will,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Perodua M5 Racing Team had to be happy with Jamaluddin Tukimin coming second in P9, three seconds behind Amir Ahmad.
Jamal fought hard for two days and he ended yesterday with a five second deficit but could not close the gap on Sunday.
Perodua M5 Team Manager, Garry Chua was happy that Jamal was consistent and kept the car together through both days.
“On Sunday he had a brush with a tree while avoiding Sutan’s car which was stranded by the roadside and that affected the Kelisa’s handling but otherwise it was still drivable,” Chua said.
The Perodua Viva 4WD Turbo of Lim Leong Onn hit a rock in SS15 and could not complete the SS. Despite the crash, Lim scored enough points throughout the season to end up third overall in the Driver’s Championship.
Kan Chee Hong rolled his Perodua Myvi in the very first SS of this Round and the extensive damage kept him out of the race.
Muhammad Siraj Abdullah took out the P10 Category and fellow MRU team mate and Manager Muhammad Rafiq Udhaya the Showroom Category. ‘Mike’ Ariokiasamy Ratnam finished first in the P11 category with P. Nandakumar close behind him.
Azizul Jamin took home the Clubman category and Amir Ahmad finished first in the P9 Category.
Indian competitors Arjun Rao and Musa Sheriff will have fond memories of their 2008 Season in Malaysia taking out the N4 category and Musa finishing as runner-up co-driver overall. Jagdev Singh finished first. Musa and Arjun will return to compete in the 2009 Season if they can find extra sponsorship.
HOME CROWD SUPPORT KEEPS A1 TEAM MALAYSIA'S SPIRITS UP
At today's A1GP race at Sepang in Malaysia, Fauzy had a storming start to the Feature race keeping his fourth place start and pushing hard for position but a clash between India and Switzerland brought out the safety car and the Malaysia car had to hold position. When racing resumed Fauzy was straight on to the PowerBoost and out braked the third placed car of Lebanon to claim third place.
Malaysia held position until the first round of pit stops, with the team pitting as soon as the pit window opened and with quick work from the crew, Fauzy was back out and settling in to the race. Disaster struck for the team when radio interference from another team, who were calling in their driver, resulted in Fauzy unnecessarily pitting. The team could do nothing but wave him out onto the track, but the damage was done. Fauzy had dropped to the back of the grid and had to climb back through the field. He reached 11th place with seven laps remaining, but with the Malaysia car lying over five seconds behind 10th place Italy, a championship point looked unlikely. Fauzy had other thoughts. Over the next seven laps he pushed as hard as he could and reeled in the Italian ahead, finally claiming a coveted point on the last lap.
Fauzy expressed his disappointment saying, "Throughout the race my car was very strong, but I just suffered a few handling problems, nothing major though. The team called me in for the first pit stop, it was fine, and we went out in the same position again, with the same gap to second placed Portugal. After ten laps I was struggling with over steer on the car, I'm not sure why - maybe the rear tyres pressures were too high, or the rears had just gone. I tried to radio the team, got nothing, and then Box this lap, Box this lap, and then Copy that, then I boxed. When I came in I saw the team was not ready so I knew something was not right. I just had to carry on, but obviously I was very disappointed.
"Considering we had the extra pit stop it was a really good recovery, the car was very strong. I think if we hadn't had the pit issue, we would have had a podium. After the last pit stop, I was running about a second quicker, it's tough for us all."
Fauzy said of his home race, "At the end of the day, we win, we lose, we are the one team and the most important thing is the support. At the end of the day the crowd showed me such support, I was able to use this and was able to catch and finish in the top 10. The most important thing is we scored one point; every point is like gold and will make a lot of difference towards the end of the season."
This morning's Sprint race drama began before the green flag had a chance to wave following a spectacular three car incident involving the India, USA and Brazil cars which saw the American and Brazilian cars becoming airborne over the top of the Indian car just as the cars neared the start/finish line. The race had to be stopped for the cars and the debris to be removed from the track, but the restart was soon underway, although this time the field were paced by the safety car.
The start was clean for Malaysia with Fauzy holding 12th at the restart. The pack thundered past the start finish to start the next lap and the Malaysian was on the power and looking to move up the grid. When South Africa and Italy fought for position ahead of him, Fauzy made a daring move down the inside, taking advantage of their fighting to claim two places in a superb passing move. However the team's elation soon turned to disappointment when the South African driver made an over ambitious move down the inside of Fauzy at the second turn not giving the Malaysian car any room and spearing into the side of the car, puncturing a tyre. Fauzy was forced to make a pit stop for new tyres, but still had to stop again as the stop was outside of the mandatory pit stop window.
Running at the back of the pack one lap down, Fauzy was powerless to make up any ground and the team had to accept defeat for this race determined to turn around their fortunes for the Feature race.
Of the earlier Sprint race Fauzy said, "I was disappointed with the Sprint race as I had just passed two cars and put myself in contention for a points finish when I was just taken out by South Africa. It's not a passing place on this track and I think they should have been penalised for it at least. After that incident, all we could do was push on and use the race to prepare for the Feature event."
Jack Cunningham, Chief Executive, concluded, "Things certainly didn't go our way today. We were caught out in two 'freak' incidents today. South Africa giving us a puncture was unnecessary, but it's just a case of 'thats racing'. The Feature race radio problem is nearly inexplicable, and has to be put down as outright bad luck. Despite all our problems this weekend we come away with a point and fifth place in the Series standings. Above all, we have the support of our nation as we were clearly shown today at Sepang. We would like to thank everyone who came to cheer us on and share in our highs and lows. Our fans give us the inspiration and motivation to keep improving, aiming high and successfully representing Malaysia."
The A1GP World Cup of Motorsport moves on to Taupo, New Zealand for the first of seven races next year. The event, to be held from 23 - 25 January 2009, sees the A1GP nations return to this popular Asia Pacific outpost.
A1 Team Malaysia completed their final preparations for the home round of the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport today, with a strong fourth place start for the Feature race and 13th place for the morning Sprint race.
Fauzy was tenth fastest in the first practice session yesterday and continued with his solid form, finishing 10th fastest in final practice this morning, despite not using his PowerBoost, while most of the other nations used this to post quick laps. It was a cool and calm team effort that saw A1 Team Malaysia work through a planned programme of set up changes to improve performance. Running on worn tyres to save the new sets for afternoon qualifying, it was an opportunity for the team to evaluate the car setup in these conditions and the team were keen to put their preparations to good use in qualifying.
Events did not go to plan for the team for the Sprint race qualifying. Fauzy was out on track for his first flying lap when the Korean car stopped on the circuit and caused a red flag, which left Fauzy faced with restarting his flying lap but losing out on the benefit of new tyres. With less than two minutes of the session remaining all the cars had to take to the track to post a qualifying time, however the home team were unable to make it out losing out severely. However, the second of the two runs saw Malaysia post 13th quickest lap.
Fairuz Fauzy said of the session, "There are mixed emotions, but overall I'm happy with our performance. We went out early for the first run but were caught out by the red flag. Being in the first garage as we enter the pitlane made it difficult to get back out in time for another run and we didn't make it, so I only had one shot at the Sprint race qualifying. On my second run we went out and tried to find a space but ended up catching the traffic so I'm a bit disappointed for the sprint race qualifying. For the Feature race we started over and put in a solid lap to start with, saving our PowerBoost for the final run making a very strong recovery.
"After the Sprint race qualifying I was very disappointed and frustrated in the car but I tried to keep my mind strong and positive and was feeling very determined. I think we can target the top three for the feature race tomorrow, with a good strategy and good weather on our side. For the Sprint race the aim will be a points finish and I think that's achievable
Jack Cunningham, Chief Executive, A1 Team Malaysia, added, "All credit to the team for keeping calm under intense pressure this afternoon. Obviously we're a little disappointed not to have had the optimum two runs for Sprint race qualifying but we certainly made up for this with our Feature race efforts. There's a lot of focus on us this weekend and Fairuz has handled well all the demands of him. With good luck and extremely hard work from everyone tomorrow we could come away with some points and as always we cannot underestimate the competition. The field is full of very talented drivers, including Fairuz, and we know that the racing tomorrow will be fast and furious. Our strength is our teamwork and I know we'll all be on top form tomorrow and giving all the fans here very exciting racing.
The A1GP World Cup of Motorsport culminates tomorrow with two races, a 30 minutes Sprint race and a 70 minutes Feature race. Fans will also be entertained with the colourful pageant of the traditional A1GP driver parade, the spectacle of the Malaysian opening ceremony and to watch the support races.
Tickets for the A1GP Malaysian event tomorrow are available at the circuit, with the racing programme starting at nine o'clock in the morning with the Malaysian Super Series. The A1GP Sprint race takes place at 11.00 am local time and the Feature race starts at 3.00 pm local time.
Ok. Projek kecik yang baru. Stiker untuk 2009. Edisi terhad kot. Heh. Ini sample je. Maybe akan berubah design. Maklumat lanjut akan diketahui kemudian. So ssape2 yang ada cadangan, bleh emailkan ke pertsmotorsport@gmail.com. Oppss. Lupe nak bagitau. Untuk ahli sahaja. TQ.
Boy Wong Gets Help From Rival For Malaysian Super Series
Desperate to pen himself as the first double winner of the Malaysian Super Series, Boy Wong Yew Choong has turned to his main rival Harry Chai for help in his keeping his dreams alive this weekend at the A1GP Malaysia 2008 in Sepang
Harry, second to Boy in the Supersixteen Championship last year, is skipping the final round to lend his Honda EK9 race machine for Boy, who is without a race car for this weekend?s race.
Until yesterday, Boy was still without a race car and when contacted yesterday, he said that it was a wait and see situation; and that he could not confirm anything as yet.
"Harry Chai saves me - I must thank him. I was in desperate need for a race car and finally, Harry and the S&D Motorsports have agreed to lend their car - Harry Chai will not be racing this round," said Boy, who encountered this strange problem after his Type R Racing Team was dismantled after their disastrous outing at the 2008 Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race.
With a total haul of 110 points and a 29-point advantage over his closest rival Ramesh Subramaniam, Boy, who had already secured this season's sub-2000cc Supersaloon title, would need at least 11 points to take his third consecutive Supersixteen title if Ramesh wins both races this weekend.
Winner of three of the previous four rounds, Boy said that Ramesh was highly capable of a double win and that he could not take any chances in hoping that his rival did not score enough points to beat him.
"So, my friends and I scouted for suitable race cars and finally Harry Chai came to the rescue. He was also not too keen of racing this race - his results has not been too good this season," said Boy in reference to Harry's nightmarish 2008 season.
Seen as Boy's main rival at the start of the season, Harry started strongly to come second behind Boy in the opening round in April. His luck changed for the following rounds as he failed to score a single point for Round 2, 3 and 4; leaving him in 10th place with 30 points.
Met at the circuit today, Ramesh declined to comment on his strategies for the race; except that it would be very difficult to deny Boy the hattrick; adding that he had always been the fastest driver in the battle of the 1600cc machines.
There would be a maximum of 40 points for grabs - 20 each for Race 1 tomorrow and 20 for Race 2 on Sunday, and the Supersixteen races would be run together with the Supercar and Supersaloon cars; making them crowded and tight races. .
Launched in 2002, the MSS is Malaysia's national championship for track racing and Boy would be the most successful racer of the series if he secures the Supersixteen title this year.
For the Supercar Championship, Wira Dani Daim has 127 points after four rounds and a 20-points advantage over second-placed Singaporean Mok Weng Sun, who would be boosted by his sensational victory at this year's MME.
Defending champion Dilantha Malagamuwa of Sri Lanka, who is also bidding to win his third successive Supercar Championship, is third with 105 points and remains a serious threat to Wira Dani's championship ambitions.
Unlike the previous rounds, the three championships - Supercar, Supersaloon and Supersixteen Championship - will run together at the A1GP and using the full 5.543-km Sepang track.
The A1GP Malaysia race is promoted by Carbon Worldwide, which is also responsible for all the commercial arrangements for the event. SIC is responsible for the race management of the main race as well as the support races.
A1 Team Malaysia completed the first day of practice for the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport, Malaysia, with the tenth fastest time of the day. In the morning rookie practice, Aaron Lim clocked a fantastic fourth quickest lap and Fairuz Fauzy recorded the tenth fastest lap overall in the afternoon practice.
The A1GP teams were ready for a strong day of running at the Formula One Championship circuit and A1 Team Malaysia and 19 other national teams enjoyed the wide, sweeping track with fine weather throughout the sessions.
In morning rookie session, Lim was able to work through a planned programme of car set-up and engineering developments in preparation for the weekend. Handing over the Malaysian car to Fauzy for the afternoon, the team was able to continue with the work of Lim and try a number of set-up options ahead of final practice and qualifying tomorrow.
Lim said on his return to the A1GP car, "I'm quite pleased with our performance this morning; it didn't take me long to get back on the pace after my first run in Chengdu. I didn't expect to be so quick this morning and I really enjoyed driving the new car at this track not only because it is my home track, but also because it is the type of track that suits the new A1GP car. It's good to help the team and share my experience so that A1 Team Malaysia can be highly competitive."
Fairuz said of his opening practice hour, "Aaron did a good job this morning to end up fourth fastest and showed that we have competitive car but during the break the temperatures went up and I was struggling with the grip this afternoon. Throughout the session we made changes and the car was going quicker particularly towards the end of the session and we're certainly going in the right direction. It's difficult to find the right stiffness for the car, particularly with the smooth surface of this track, but there's more to come from the car and we'll improve our pace tomorrow. We're certainly in the zone."
Jack Cunningham, Chief Executive, A1 Team Malaysia, adds, "We're up there in the mix of the top times and I think there's more to come from the team. Fairuz and Aaron work well together and our overall package is very strong now. We're feeling very positive for qualifying tomorrow, and will certainly be aiming for an improvement on today's position."
The A1GP World Cup of Motorsport, Malaysia, is the third round of the fourth season of the Series. A1 Team Malaysia lies first in the Championship standings after two events, having already scored a pole position and two podium finishes including victory in the first A1GP race with the new generation A1GP Powered by Ferrari car.
Track action at the Sepang circuit continues tomorrow with final practice and official qualifying tomorrow, followed by the Sprint and Feature races on Sunday.
I surf on zerotohundred.com and there's one news that pull my interest on. It's about original racing seat from a super car such as Ferrari, Maserati etc. Yeah! It's real! But to own one, you should think twice, or maybe more. LOL. The price are estimated from RM 10000 to RM 40000. Price of a second hand converted Honda EJ and EG. This is the real 'Kaya kayap' boys toy. But, if there's is a will, there's always a way to own one. For example this guy. Eu Jin. He's the owner of R34 GTT and he came across with his own way to own one. Very creative guy. He put wheels on his Recaro SR3 and wallaa, he's one of the owner of racing office chair. I don't know how he shove that wheels to the seat bottom. LOL. But that's one way for you to have your own office race chair. so if you have unused bucket seat, you can try it for your self. Good luck.

Remember the blue skyline from Monster Pit Garage at SDB final? Owned by small car. I'd said that it's not their fault right. And yes I am correct!! 100% correct. Recently I read Autojunctions review of this piece of craft, and I give my respect for their effort on creating a masterpiece by moving from the lower bottom of places. They compete for "trial n error" and I think for the next 2 years if they build their machine properly, they can turn thier head on International drag scene. Kudus to the Monster Pit Garage.

A1 Team Malaysiahas selected Fairuz Fauzy to race for his country in the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport event at Sepang, Malaysia next weekend with teammate Aaron Lim taking the driving seat for the rookie session onFriday.
Fauzy has represented Malaysia in the first two rounds of the Series and quickly established his superiority by taking the championship lead in the first round with a win and a second place finish. He put in two strong performances in the second round at Chengdu, China, including a fifth place finish, to retain the series lead as the nations head for A1 Team Malaysias home soil, Sepang International Circuit.
This is the first time in the history of the series that a team will compete on home soil leading the championship
The Malaysian A1GP driver is riding high with his early season success and is keen to build on the solid start, as well as stay at the top of the leader board. The confirmation that he will be racing at Sepang is the news that he had hoped to receive. Fauzy says, "After such a brilliant start to the season at Zandvoort the pressure was on to stay at the front and leaving China with the lead has given me a big confidence boost. I'm delighted that A1 Team Malaysia has put its faith in me and given me the chance to race for my country in my home race."
Lim was given his first outing in the new A1GP Powered by Ferrari car at Chengdu and was blown away by the performance of the racer and was thrilled by its power, acceleration, braking and cornering speeds. With only an hour behind the wheel Lim is eager to return to the cockpit, and particularly as it will be in front of his home crowd. The 21-year-old says of driving at Sepang, "I can't wait to drive at Sepang and I'm very pleased that the team has asked me to drive the rookie session. I don't take anything for granted, so although I hoped to be given the job for this round I kept my fingers crossed until I had the call from the team."
The Malaysian pair is already in Kuala Lumpur preparing for the event as well as taking on a hectic schedule of promotional commitments. In addition the drivers will be joining their team and a band of enthusiastic fans for the A1 Team Malaysia Outreach Shelter initiative this weekend. The volunteers will be painting and redecorating one of the charity's buildings, a very worthwhile diversion from the training and racing that will be the work for the drivers and the team next week.
For free tickets, you can try your luck here guys. Well, i got mine. LOL. It's simple. Just answer one question and it's on. I urge all of you out there come and support our Malaysia A1 team. And for the team, do us proud at our own soil.
Well. The season is over now and Ah Lai took it all. Yessss. For the third times now. I can say that the final battle was worth every penny that I spent to go there.(Very kedekut la me.LOL) Everyone had given a great battle for spectators to see. We saw SAGA KU gone crazy but yet still have a lot of work to do with their machine when they lost to R Engineering at final Turbo 2 wheels. We saw Avantech EG lost to Conggo's CRX at quater final but hey, Mie Avantech wins the overall standings and I think maybe he just playing with the CRX. Hemmmmmmm!!!! We saw Ah Lai R Engineering took the crown by winning the open categories(4 wheels turbo) by defeating Subaru Impreza from "i don't know what team it was". But i'm quite sure it was that "mighty" Subaru. We saw GT Auto's Skyline got owned(twice) by a small Satria. But power vs weight ratio, i don't thing they are to blame. I felt a bit dissapointed because the "evil" Evo 3 don't make it to the ground. It can turn around the situation I think if it was there. But hell, anything could happen although they had broken the 9 sec wall at the fourth round. We saw Conggo's EF Vtec "rentung" battling along 2 turbos and what a car it was. Yyyyeahhhh!!!! They did lost the battle but hey, the turbos got a large advantage when they shift to third and fourth.
Enough with this "we saw" things. I'll update the overall results after this so please be patient. For the time being, enjoy the pictures. I've a lot more but again, they laziness inside of me had "enshroud" me. LOL.
I never heard anything about our International Autoshow since 2006. I thought that was the last of the show. And I consider it must be because of the budget to organized the show, to bring in all cars and imagine the tax just for one event. Very expensive laa to get into the hall. Got to think trillion2 times before buying the ticket.Hemmmmm....Why they have to wait for 3 years?Maybe because of politics or any current issues and eventually they forgot about it, maybe because of the MPV that will be launch next year and proton need a BIG BIG show for it, or maybe they just so lazy to organize one. Pity..But, last week I heard that the show will be continue next year.Yeah!!Hope this is the biggest and the best since 2006. Let's share some of the SEMA 2008 coverage from MOTORTREND. I really hope event as good as this are avalaible for Malaysian to see. Worth every peny for the ticket. lol.
