A1 GP at Sepang

Yesterday was the 2nd time around i went to the Sepang F1 Circuit. It was one of the best roaring engines i've ever heard in me life. The audio waves was smacking my ear drums like a madman on the drums. LolX wtf was that all about.


Well, it all started on Friday when i got some SMS about 2 tickets at Rm60 each. so it got me thinking. At first i wasn't so interested but since Sean was like 'Anything la, u go i go'<--- some kinda attractive phrase for me**. And so, i got the tickets from a friend.

On Saturday i was kinda bumped out, but WTH i still got out of bed had lunch and off we went to Sepang. We were targeting to reach before 3 pm. cos that's the time i found on the website. When we got there, we can even hear the engines from outside. It was like "WOAH~ can't wait to watch that car man", so we continued our long journey into the main grandstand and there it was, running like a stallion. Nah! stallion don't seem to fit, and i can't think of anything else. Although the cars went really as fast as i thought it would be, it was still fast Enough. But the sad part was, we were actually late for the Qualifiers, so we ended up watching the last few 10 mins*i think* and we waited like 1.30 hours till the next event. It was the Integra race, well both of us had quite a good laugh becos we watched the distance between each cars grow further and further and further. they didn't sound as nice as the GP cars but still they're kinda fast around the turns.


On Sunday, THE RACE DAY* so so so much more people were there. More show cars and more show girls, too bad we got no pics of them.*sigh* We can still hear the engines roaring today, with 3 times the distance from the car park than yesterday, and the sun wasn't showing any sign of giving up in radiating us.

So the race begins! They were much faster with some action from the start. It was kinda cool when the announcer was saying " Gentleman Start your engines" and they went revving, the revs were quick and SweeeeT!!! wahhaha. Really a great experience, when i was learning a bit or two about the racing line thing, at the same time watching the action going on, didn't get to watch one of the accidents that costs South Africa the race, but saw a few stunts by our very own Alex Yoong! although we didn't get the Top Ten i think. he did a nice job of actually gaining few spots when we had 3 pits! pity the Local Team. But it's all about mechanics, sometimes things just don't go to well with the metal stuff. ;-) *The cars were really loud when they pass by, and the best was when a whole bunch of them were passing by together. The vibrations was all over me and the grandstand. wahahhaha..

When on our way out from Sepang we saw some Finnish dudes pushing a taxi, too bad i didn't get a pic, but Sean did get a pic of them without us with them. We tried to help them but we realised the Taxi itself was the problem, cos it was out of NGV, and it couldn't switch to Petrol. So there was nothing we could do than just wish them good luck and Ciao~ haha..However, those dudes were ok, they were friendly and they weren't unhappy cos they did the same thing in Indonesia with slopes. I wonder when will our Taxi's be abit responsible. Its deteriorating our countrys' image. It's freaking Sepang, it not near to get out of there, and there was only one Station just nearby the Circuit. Luckily the car stalled about 1-2Km away, if not they're were gonna get roasted. Btw they turned pink.

Well that's about it about the A1 weekend. nice and sweet engines. i wish they were mine! wahahaha..at least the show cars there or maybe the Waja Track car. lol

*will get the pics and videos up when i can* ;-p Let's go for F1!! wahahaha
