Super GT Int'l Series Malaysia 19-21 Jun 2009

Super GT is here again. This year I had been prepared to be there to see the live action. Unlike last year I and iwan only watch the practice session only, which usually on Friday. On the race day which Sunday, by 11am, I and iwan meet up at iwan’s house. Because of his brother is coming as well, well my car can’t fit 3 peoples, he decided to drive his Satria to go there. We made a quick detour to Fong’s place and met him at Sg Buluh R n R waited in his Celica. From there we head straight to Sepang SIC. The journey was no so pleased where there was a long traffic jam at the Puchong- Dengkil's strach. But still, when we arrived, we still have plenty of time to enjoy the festival. There at Sepang SIC the modd monsters was like went out from the hiding place, there lots of them around. Where the heck all these machines had been before? The ticket for that day at main grandstand was rm100.The First booth in line was the Mutiara Motor and there was an autograph signing by the M7 drivers Nobuteru Taniguchi and Ryo Orime. Well behind them, guess who, Mr Isami Amemiya and the pioneer in tuning rotary-powered Mazdas. He just behind the scene like nobody knew him. So I took this opportunity to greet him and took picture with him.




Like last years event, the Nissan was the largest booth and proudly to present the new Fairlady 370z and R35 GTR. All I can see the booth was not full like years before, maybe the economic recession, lots of the car and accessories company decided not to participated this year. But this year it was massive turn out for the car clubs to show off their rides at the tarmac area. Good job on that side, where spectators can be amaze with the Malaysian modders and do with their rides. On the stage the GT queens made up their appearance and announce their racing team with joy. This part the men’s cheers like crazy, may be coz of Japanese girl fantasies, hehehe
The race was started about 3am where the race car was release and made a few rounds for final tune up. The final preparation was the highlights where we all can see the cars from close range. All the teams’ shows up their rides and the GT queen made it so hot. About 4pm the race finally start by rolling start of GT500 and continued by the GT300. Me personally have an affair with Mazda RX-7 and the of course the favorite team was GT300 M7 MUTIARA MOTORSAMEMIYASGC 7 FD3S. This race where I truly amaze by the GT300 M7 MUTIARA MOTORSAMEMIYASGC 7 FD3S where from the last 3 position from behind, slowly he over took one by one car to rank position to 3 places. The Petronas team was also in using the PETRONAS TOM'S SC430 in GT500 category. Another Malaysian team was Thunder Asia MT900R. About the 6pm the race finally end and the result was the champion for this round for Gt500 was HASEMI TOMICA EBBRO GT-R and champion for GT300 was I.M JIHAN CO.LTD•APPLE•Shiden. The days end with excitement and truly pure high performance show off.
