Super GT International Series Malaysia, Sepang 2009

Yein Jee — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:00:07 +0000

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.

Super GT Sepang 2008 – practise

Yein Jee — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 14:50:52 +0000

Went to Sepang International Circuit this morning with KC to catch a glimpse of the Super GT, a popular Japan based auto racing series.

Today was practise session for the racers… and some practises for me too. It’s a bit challenging for a n00b to take photos of these fast moving vehicles; below are some of the better shots with plenty of rooms for improvements…

Danica Patrick first female winner in IndyCar history

Yein Jee — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:26:54 +0000

Danica Patrick won her first IndyCar Series race at Twin Ring Motegi in the Indy Japan 300 on April 20 and became the first female winner in IndyCar history.

Danica made her IndyCar debut in 2005 and became Rookie of the Year with some good performances. Her participation in the sport traditionally dominated by men has created a lot of buzz for motor racing fans, and the fact that she looks pretty good too has made her one of the most talk-about racing stars.

Danica’s racing career isn’t all smooth though; despite an eye-catching debut season, Danica has failed to win a single race for almost three years, and this had led to some teasing and criticism. With this Japan victory she could finally silence some critics, and hopefully this won’t be her last.
