SuperGT Round 4, Sepang International Circuit
Last weekend was a wonderful and enjoyable weekend for me. I was hanging out in Sepang International Circuit (SIC) since Friday till Sunday. The SuperGT Race was a thrill especially when racing under hot and humid condition in Malaysia. SuperGT race generally divided into two main category - GT500 for 500 HP cars and GT300 for 300HP cars. SuperGT is different compared to Formula 1 in term of the car and rolling start. Production cars are used in SuperGT race. Which also mean, those car you can buy from manufacturer if you have loads of disposable cash to spare such as Nissan Skyline GTR 35, Toyota Soarer SC430, Honda NSX Type R, Ferrari F430, Porsche GT2 etc.
Nissan Skyline GTR dominate the race of GT500 by becoming champion and first runner up for the race where as Subaru Impreza dominate the race for GT300.
Many spectators attended this event, not for the cars but the hot sexy Japanese chicks instead. They average age between 18 - 25 years old. Most of them have their main job as dentist, nurses, engineer etc. They are soft spoken, active and some of them have killer eyes. Most of the guy killed by their eyes added with their cute and sexy act.
Not to my surprise, I took more than 2000 shots in these three days in RAW format. I have hard time trying to select a few best one to put it here.
We did a darn thing when we were there. On the race day, during the Pit Walkabout session, we somehow manage to sneak into the paddock without the knowledge of the security. We sacrifice the pit walk about session. We stays on top of the roof of the paddock until the pit walk session finish. Then we walk behind the paddock and find a few interesting subject to shoot beside the racequeen and the cars. We also manage to get ourself into the starting grid session where we really enjoy the race and the starting grid process.
Once the race started, we headed back to the GT Restaurant. The food was catered by Pan Pacific KLIA and bloody expensive. 1 can of carbonated water cost RM5 and 1 bottle of 500ml mineral water cost RM4. A SuperGT Burger cost RM25 (Not that big and takes half an hour to prepare!).
Again, we back to the track when the race ended. There were tears and joy in the driver face. Some are darn too happy to win the race, some of them fainted and sent to the hospital by ambulance.
Three of us hanging there till 7.30pm before we call it the end of days for SuperGT because this is the last SuperGT in Malaysia. There won't be any SuperGT next year.
We were tired, but experience and exciting day out in SIC.
