I had a trip to Sepang last month to give support to our Malaysian A1GP Team . It’s been the xxx time I have visited Sepang F1 Track, but for sure this is the first time I had a chance to watch the race closely at the grandstand. Usually the grandstand ticket are much expensive than the hillstand ticket (especially during F1 Season). This time, the organizer is providing free tickets for the locals in order to give support to our Malaysian team.
A1GP is a world cup of motorsports. Each team represents their nation. A1GP 2008 is now more exciting with the switch to Ferrari who will supply engines and chassis to all teams together with Michelin as the tyre supply which will makes the competition a lot more challenging.
It’s not only A1GP race, we were also entertained by the MSS (Malaysian Super Series) just before the feature race of A1GP.

Fairuz waves his hands to the local fans as a sign of appreciation who gives him support during the race.
Fairuz finishes 10th due to pit radio problem causes by signal interference with other team pit radio which saw he pitted during the crew wasn’t ready for a stop (it was another team pit radio asking their driver to pit). However, he did a great job making on his lost ground to take 10th position and at the same time, making the crowd happy with the overtaking maneuver and his dedication.
