The Super GT series is back in Malaysia; Sepang International Circuit will again host the popular Japan-based auto racing championship on June 19-21, 2009.
A panning photo below; taken while collecting my ticket in the afternoon. Didn’t spend much time there, the real show only happens in the next two days…
Beside the super cars and Japanese race queens, the organiser is running a lot more extra activities this year to pull the crowd, such as drift demo, rave party and autograph sessions etc.
Should be an entertaining weekend ahead; hope that the summer heat won’t be too unbearable.

Barbadian R&B star Rihanna has promised to cover up for her Kuala Lumpur concert on February 13th to adhere to the Malaysian on-stage dress code, of which a female performer must be covered from shoulders to knees.
Taking lesson from last year’s Avril Lavigne’s concert which was almost cancelled because her show was deemed too sexy for Malaysian culture (and the fact that Avril is like an angel to Rihanna’s sexiness), the organiser of Rihanna’s concert is fast to act on the issue before the protests from conservative religious groups could heat up.
Rihanna’s KL concert, which is part of the Good Girl Gone Bad world tour, will be held at Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil, on Feb 13. Refer to the above poster for ticketing details.
Update – The concert is postponed following reports that she was assaulted by her boyfriend Chris Brown.

Canadian pop-rocker Avril Lavigne is coming to Kuala Lumpur for a live concert on August 29th at Merdeka Stadium as part of her Best Damn Tour.

I used to like Avril a lot; if she was to have a concert here a couple of years ago I won’t hesitate to get a VIP ticket for the show… but now, I am not sure. Hmmm got to think fast, considering her popularity here (and some neighbouring countries), the nice seats could be sold out pretty soon.
Avril’s world tour will kick start on August 1st in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; the KL concert will be her first stop in Asia. Other Asian countries that are part of the tour include Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China [check schedule]
There are 11 concerts in Japan, more than USA and Canada combined (10)… never knew that she is that popular in the land of the rising sun.
