    Oh well, not exactly in everybody's schedule when it's on a Monday & right after our Chinese New Year. Still, a nice show up by a dozen cars or so which is good because the track wouldn't be crowded. Organised by The Lambo Club but a few friends from other makes came over as well. Just RM350 per car for a 3hrs session. Fantastic value IMO & luckily the weather was good but it did rain quite heavily on certain stretches on our way back.

    A friend who was there over the weekend for "Traction Circle"? said he was fighting with about 100 cars on the track with makes like Evos, track cars etc. He was in a 997 GT3.

    Looks fantastic ! Great pictures. Don't think I've seen so many Lambos in one place at one time.

    Do you have a link to the Sepang circuit itself ? - thinking of organising a visit for me and a few friends from Taiwan.

    Cheers

    Hi Mark, I attended my 1st track day in '05 when they launched their Spyder. Back then, I wouldn't dream of owning a Lambo @ all when I had a F348.

    There was a lot of Lambos then as it's an official day Co-organised by the factory.

    You can contact them here but I hear they haven't been answering emails & the circuit's been quite fully booked. Think you'd better ring them on the phone.

    Hey AVG, I was just beside you on the AYE yesterday morning before we splitted @ ES exit. I followed you all the way from Fort road!

    I realised my pics improved a lot after I changed the camera when I compared them from my '05 pics.

    I almost couldn't make it for this trip as well. @ 7.45am I was still hesitating.....my Mrs said she dreamt about my orange car being wrecked badly & I was missing from the scene. Now, that's the most depressing news you can hear before making a trip isn't it & my tyres were a little old+worn. Thank goodness I made it back after lots of prayers ;)

    Hey Phil, anytime man. You're right about the SG customs, my rear ganna nicked again :( so did RO1 who was in front of me. Damn, think we get more damage on the rims than on the track!

    Come next trackday & I'll make sure I do my best with the Mrs shopping in KL :)

    Yap must say this is a most humbling trip. Felt like learning how to drive all over again. Had two experienced drivers on hand to show me the ropes, Marcus was meticulous & I was learning the lines (back to basic) & Richie was a "wild boy" having switched off the traction control & we were practically sliding on every corners. Never had such a wild ride in my life :D
