Was given free passes to the Japan GT in Sepang from my neighbour who is involved in the JPM Integra Cup held during the same time. Think of it as the side show for Japan GT. Anyway, the day started at 9ish when we arrived and hung around the tent belonging to JP Chin. This guy organizes club races and this particular one involves 25 Integras with the same spec and engine with the only difference being the personalized tuning for the drivers...
First stop was the rooftop of the paddock to see the Asian Formula Renault race and the Japan GT practice run. Actually before that, managed to do the pit walk prior to the official one. This was good as you could really get up close with the GT beasts without the crowd, only downside was that the pit girls were not around yet. So we went to the back lane of the paddock and did managed to get more than a few glimpses of these ladies..
Soon after around noon was the start of the Integra Cup with drivers who come from rich backgrounds, on of them was the Ftech (laptop business) owner. The overall winner was this guy named Firhat Mokzhani..I think.. am not much of a fan of the local racing scene as you can see..
By the time the actual Japan GT started it was 4pm. Met up with some local girls in the industry and after half of the 54 laps spent at the grandstand, I decided the sun and sound was tooo hot for me and headed back to the airconditioned area of the paddock facing the pits where it wasn't so deafening. By the time everything was over, it was already way past 6pm.
All in all, although it was a very tiring day going back and fourth but I think it with all that I managed to see and experience, it was all worth the it...
The winning Arta NSX Honda Racing Team car..though am personally a fan of the Nismo Fairlady Z.
