Petaling Jaya, 21 May 2013 - One of the most entertaining, exciting and glamorous race weekends returns to the Sepang International Circuit this month (15-16 June) with Malaysia once again being given the honor of hosting the third round of the prestigious 2013 AUTOBACS SUPER GT Series.

Formerly known as the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC), the Super GT Series is a grand touring car race series promoted by the GT Association (G.T.A.). It was first established in 1993 by the JAF (Japanese Automobile Federation) via its subsidiary company the G.T.A. (GT Association).

The Malaysian round of the AUTOBACS SUPER GT Series is being organised by JPM Motorsport and this will be the 13th consecutive year that the Series is back in town to thrill fans.  It is also the 20th year the Series is being organized.

Internationally recognized for being one of the world’s fastest and most exciting GT racing series, the 2013 AUTOBACS SUPER GT Series consists of eight rounds, and is divided into the GT500 and GT300 classes, gathering what is the reputed to be the largest ensemble of latest Japanese sports cars with manufacturers the likes of Lexus, Honda, Nissan, Toyota and Subaru, as well as continental marques that include Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Mosler, Chevrolet, Audi, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz.

The Series is also a playground for top Japanese drivers and some of the world’s top racing drivers among them, former Formula 1 driver and Super GT champion Ralph Firman who drives the Honda HSV for AUTOBACS RACING TEAM AGURI this season; former South American and German Formula 3 driver Joao Paulo de Oliveira driving the Nissan GTR for Team Impul; former Le Mans driver Seiji Ara; Michael Krumm the 2011 FIA GT Championship GT1 Series champion; and former Macau Grand Prix winner Andre Couto.

Also racing in the Series and giving local fans more to cheer about is Malaysian Fairuz Fauzy who alongside Japanese Yuki Iwasaki, drives for team APR Audi R8 LMS Ultra in the GT300 class this season. The pair’s best finish so far has been 14th place in the opening round of the Series at the Okayama International Circuit in April. In round 2 at the Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka, Japan Fairuz and Iwasaki and a third driver Kenji Kobayashi came in 15th place.

Japanese Super GT Queen Momokawa Yuko

Another hot favourite will be the Malaysian-backed Petronas Toms SC430 Team which had only recently clinched victory at round 2 of the AUTOBACS SUPER GT Series at the Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka, Japan. The team, competing in the GT500 class, is spearheaded by the pair of Kazuki Nakajima and James Rossiter. Nakajima is the 2012 Formula NIPPON Series champion, while Rossiter was formerly a Lotus factory driver and test driver for the Force India Formula One Team.

Race fans are also in for another treat as for the first time, they will be able to see fast action on the track by hybrid cars competing in the GT 300 class. The competition is led by the Toyota PRIUS GT which recently secured the first ever victory for a hybrid car in the SUPER GT series at round 2, and joined by a fleet of MUGEN CR-Z GT cars.

“We’re gunning for a phenomenal race weekend with lots of action and activities on as well as off the track. We’re working on a whole host of activities and attractions and all I can say is that it’s going to be exciting for everyone, race fans or otherwise,” said JPM Motorsport Managing Director T.J. Chin.

Malaysian Super GT Queen Julie Tan

In 2013, with the aim to further improve the experience of spectators and provide greater value to sponsors, JPM Motorsport has come up with the theme of having a 5-Star SUPER GT! The components are: the SUPER GT Race, the Affin Bank Motorshow, a Japan Town by Sachi, the Biggest Superbike Gathering and a Dash Berlin ‘Music is Life’ World Tour 2013!

And unique to SUPER GT, fans can meet and greet the drivers and teams during the Pit Walkabout, where the Race Machines and hot race queens will be present. On Saturday, consistent with the SUPER GT tradition, the pit walkabout session is free for children under 12 and their accompanying parents too.

This year’s event will also witness the very first Asia Cup race organized by Meritus. Off the race tracks, grass root racing activities in the form of the Ultra Racing Gymkhana & Drifting, will encourage enthusiasts to compete.

Other than exciting racing and race cars, JPM Motorsports will also continue the tradition set in 2011 by having another star attraction in the form of the Affin Bank Motorshow. This year, the total exhibition size is as big as the size of the entire mall area at Sepang International Circuit, which is around 7,500 sqm. Though similar in size to 2012, it incorporates innovative elements, namely SummerNat where on top of amazing cars displayed by Japanese Marquee like Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru and European heavy weights like Porsche and Lamborghini, JPM Motorsport will exhibit and host a competition for Customs Cars and Bikes alike. SummerNat is Australia’s premier event for street machines, an event gathering local exotic and
custom muscle cars as well as other street machines which will take place in Malaysia and co-organised by JPM Motorsport in the later part of the year.

Super GT Queen Yuko & Julie

JPM Motorsport will also be out to establish a record in the Malaysia Book of Records. This year, instead of the Biggest Supercar and Performance Car record that it managed to set with the help of various car clubs in 2012, the company will be out to create the record for the Biggest and Noisiest Superbike Gathering on track in Sepang International Circuit. This will be the first time the track will accommodate so many bikes on the track in a single event.

Moving away from Automotive related activities, another Star to this year’s race weekend is the Japan Town by Sachi, and JPM Motorsport in collaboration with sponsors such as Code 10, Luminox and OK is attempting to make the audience feel like they are watching a Japanese Racing event in Japan during summer.

Finally, when the sun goes down on Saturday night, event goers, or more specifically party goers will be treated to the Dash Berlin ‘Music is Life’ World Tour. This tour, touted as one of the most anticipated party event of the year is organized by Global Sound Music together with JPM Music and is expected to provide an unforgettable “let your hair down’ party experience. And for partygoers, they are also entitled to attend the race, making it an adrenaline filled weekend.

“There you have it, a 5 Star event which we hope will make this year’s event more thrilling, engaging, glamorous and spectator-friendly for all those who attend and sponsors alike,” said Chin.

“Race weekend at Sepang International Circuit is not purely about action on the track, but we have made an enormous effort to make it an attractive weekend destination for the entire family.”

JPM Motorsport is also inviting race fans to bring their entire family to the Super GT weekend, and have put in place various attractions that include a special Kids Zone and musical performances to keep everyone – including non-race enthusiasts – happy and occupied.

Super GT Queen Yuko & Julie

Super GT fans will also be able to catch the action of the 2013 Malaysian SUPER GT Queen Search Pageant. The pageant is being held for the third consecutive year, and the crowned winner will stand the chance of joining a line-up of Japanese GT Queens in Japan with objective of promoting the sharing of knowledge, expertise and talent between Malaysian and Japanese GT queens.

Tickets for the Malaysian round of the AUTOBACS Super GT Series are priced at RM100, and fans can obtain it online via www.supergt.com.my, or tune in to the entire season’s updates on www.facebook.com.my/supergt.my. Aspiring candidates or the 2013 Malaysian SUPER GT Queen Search Pageant meanwhile, can log on to the SUPER GT’s Facebook at www.facebook.com/supergt.my to obtain updates about the pageant

Post-Event: Astro Explorer-On-The-Go Bloggers Contest

Event details

What: Explorer-On-The-Go contest

Date: 18 May 2013 (Saturday)

Time: 10.00AM onwards

Venue: Sunway Pyramid

Just One Week Ago, I have attended a spectacular contest, which was the Astro Explorer-On-The-Go Bloggers Contests. The event was organized by Nuffnang & Astro and it has attracted the participation of approximately 50 bloggers because of the amazing prizes offered in the contest. (Such as Samsung Galaxy S4, iPad Mini, Google Nexus)

And I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the participants. =)

Astro On-The-Go Live Explorer Stage!

What were the nice memories during the Explorer-On-The-Go event?

Meeting New People (Fellow Bloggers, famous celebrities)

It’s a nice exposure for me because I got the chance to meet new people and get to know more blogger friends.

Here’s my teammate that day, Janice!

Me and my teammate, Janice formed the Team15!

I have also met a few of my favourite bloggers such as Chuckei,Tianchad and etc.

Me and Chuckei!

Me and Tianchad!

Besides, Hitz FM  Jin (Jinnyboy) was also there. He was walking around our assembly spot for quite some time. So I have approached him and took a picture with him too.

He told me that he is going to have his next short video soon.  Looking forward for it!

Me and Jinnyboy!

The excitement of explorer games

Basically, the Astro Explorer-On-The-Go contest was a station-hunting games like those seen in Amazing Race and Running Man. We were first given with an iPad (but can’t bring back home), and there will be one pilot (the person playing game) and one co-pilot (the tweeter, facebooker à social veteran). So, I was the pilot in my team because I am kinda noob in updating social platforms while Janice was the co-pilot because she could tweet a lot a lot faster than I do.

Our twitter hashtags that day.
#AstroOTGExplorer is the official hashtag.
#Team15 is my team's hashtag.
Do check it out at twitter if you want to know more about our adventure that day!

We went from station to station, roaming around the whole Sunway Pyramid Shopping Complex. We were given clues via the iPad and was required to find the stations, then answer one/two questions plus snap some pictures in order to get the next clue. Some of the clues were kinda misleading and we have to detour from here and there. Imagine, we have to go from first floor to lower ground floor, then went to ground floor again for the next station. The stations were scattered at a few totally different zones. Never have I and Janice ever thought that, walking in shopping complex can be so tiring~!

But thanks to that, I think I have burnt quite a lot of calories! (Maybe can contribute a little for one of my aim of the year, To Eradicate The "Spare Tyre" on my Big Tummy!)

Eventually, we finished all the stations and we took approximately 1 hours and 17 minutes to finish them all.

Coverage: TVXQ! "CATCH ME" World Tour, Live In Kuala Lumpur

Coverage: TVXQ! "CATCH ME" World Tour, Live In Kuala Lumpur

It was a pleasant weekend last week because of  TVXQ! "CATCH ME" World Tour Live In Kuala Lumpur. This splendid event was held at Stadium Malawati last saturday and has amazed the fans with the awesome performance by Max and U-Know. 

Punctuality!

The concert has been one of the most punctual K-pop event ever in Malaysia. At around 5.30pm, the audience were greeted by the opening act of Fuying and Sam. At approximately 6pm, TVXQ! has appeared on stage. 

Explosive Performance!

Max and U-know has appeared with their opening songs of Rising Sun! The fans were totally delighted as they saw their favourite idols go on stage. Thereafter, TVXQ! has proceeded with non-stop singing & dancing plus some explosive action. A lot of fireworks have been seen throughout the event. They even smashed a modified chair on floor during one of the song. All of these have made the audience screamed in excitement.

Awesome Stage Layout!

As mentioned in previous posts, RM 1.5 million was invested in the development of the concet stage. All I can say is, it was really AMAZING!
First thing is the rolled-up ground. It was an amusing stage set-up and it was fully utilized by TVXQ! and their dancers as they do the cool moves on top of it!

Second is regarding the moving chairs and elevators. These props allowed TVXQ! to actually "reach out" to all their fans from the VVIP Zone till the PS5 zone. Plus, the stage layout itself allows the audience and TVXQ! to remain at a very close distance. Non of the audience were felt left out from experiencing the best from their favourite idols!

Great lighting and nice props!

The lighting used in the concert was well-choreographed and allowed the audience to track their idols easily. The multiple colour of sharp lighting has created a good visual of the whole stage. Besides, the use of different props from time to time such as the rome setting, the flying airplane and etc has been a pleasant addition to this already wonderful concert! Thus,making it PERFECT!

Heartwarming interaction between TVXQ! and fans

There was a slot whereby a video was shown on screen. This video is the footage of TVXQ! in the past events such as those times when they won awards and also the footage during their other concerts. They also kept on apologizing to the fans for the wait of 6 years! Of course, the fans never blamed them but just felt touched about it! 

They even learned to speak a few Malay sentence such as Apa Khabar, Saya cinta padamu. All of these has earned a lot of cheers from the fans!

Encore by fans!

After the boys has left the stage, the fans have screamed for an encore! 

The power of Cassiopeia has made Max and U-know to come back on the stage! 

The k-pop kings have promised the fans for their next world tour and would not leave them waiting for long this time!

A Truly Spectacular Concert!

This was really one of the best K-pop concert I have ever seen in Malaysia. Both me and my photographer have agreed that it was truly a success! Thanks a lot to JPM Music!
