A Day At Ferrari 458 Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Asia Pacific Series 2011 Round 4

Recently, the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli had it’s 4th round of the Asia Pacific Series in Malaysia with our very own Erwin Azizi driving a Naza Italia 458 Challenge Car. Thanks to the nice people at Naza World, I got a chance to spend a day at the Sepang F1 Circuit to watch the race from up-close. Literally just chilling around the Paddock and strolling about around the circuit looking for the best vantage points to capture some images.

There was also a nice cooling area in the VIP room above the Paddock but I preferred to go under the sun, finding the best place to take photos. Call me crazy (some of those that was there did…) but I prefer to be at the track because of the cars instead of being there for the race queens. That’s me I suppose, willing to travel the distance just to watch motorsports whether it’s a local grass-root event or a major competition. Eventually though, I did end up in that nice cold VIP area as I got hungry and there’s a nice row of simulators for me to sit in and knock the virtual cars about. Here’s some of the photos from the day. (more…)

Timelapse: Sepang – Kota Damansara

Yes, I’ve been truly enjoying my new toy. Didn’t expect to be having so much fun with it but heck, I am! Here’s another time lapse that I did using the ContourGPS traveling from Sepang to Kota Damansara.

The captured photos was done at 1frame per 3seconds and then later put together into a video that you see above. What do you think?

The 1.247km long and 10meter wide SIC Kart Circuit at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) recently went through a rebirth and was relaunched together with a new operator in charge that will now co-manage the go-kart circuit with SIC.
