Sepang Track Day

30th August

Had too many portrait session lately and I felt the need to go back to my first love: Motorsports photography..

Today was an open track day at Sepang where you basically drive down to the track, register yourself, paid the entrance fee and then go crazy on the track. In the morning, the bikers came out to play.

All shots taken at Turn 1 and Turn 2.






Continued my training at slow shutter, these 2 were taken at 1/20sec.




The bike session ended at 1pm for a lunch break. The car session were scheduled for 2pm. In the meantime, some Formula BMW cars came out for their practice run.




Car session started promptly at 2pm. The Subaru guys were out in force, there's some EVOs in the mix, flanked by the usual Civic, Satria Neo and other usual (@ boring) suspects. However, there were lots of other different makes and models that are seldom seen during track days.

A couple of R34.. (my fav Jap supercar)






meets their new sibling..


Rotary power..


The legend lives on: Honda NSX (the pearl white paint is a pain in the a$$ to shoot under the bright sun)




On to some really really rare cars to appear on the race track...

The lion....


and the cat..


Forget everything you ever heard about weight distribution, low center of gravity and aerodynamics.. Big guy can really run


A Volkswagen.....


A very old Volkswagen..


The Mark Wahlberg version..




and the Michael Caine version..


My current fav car...




And for the finale... taking the term "Sunday leisure drive" to another whole level.


Overheard the marshal's walkie describing them as "makan angin"....
