Promoted by JPM Motorsport, SummerNats Malaysia will be held at the Sepang International Circuit over four days from 29 August to 1 September 2014. The prestigious event was officially launched today by Yang Berhormat Dato’ Seri Mohamed Nazri bin Tan Sri Abdul Aziz, the Minister of Tourism and Culture Malaysia together with Mr Russell Avis, General Manager of SummerNats Australia, Mr J.P. Chin, Founder of JPM Motorsport and witnessed by Ms. Susan Kahwati, Senior Trade & Investment Commissioner of the Australian Trade Commission in Malaysia & Brunei and Datuk Razlan Razali, Chief Executive Officer of Sepang International Circuit.

“This is the first international debut for SummerNats and it’s going to be big!” said JPM Motorsport Founder, J.P. Chin.

Summer Nationals or SummerNats, has grown into a genuine Australian icon, an annual auto festival that was the brainchild of renowned car enthusiast Chic Henry who kicked off the first event of its kind in 1988. Today, 26 years later, SummerNats is regarded as the biggest event in Australia. It was voted as Australia’s Favorite Event in 2013 and in 2014, attracting a total of 103,437 spectators.

SummerNats Malaysia is set to emulate this high octane show in what will also be the SummerNats brand’s first ever foray outside of Australia. However, SummerNats Malaysia will also diversify its attraction to welcome the world of custom motorcycles and superbikes, in addition to taking on a more family-oriented weekend for spectators.

“Having an event, not only for the enthusiast, but one which caters to the entire family is something we strongly believe in. We’ve proven this to become a successful formula for three years running when we previously acquired the rights to host the Malaysian round of the Super GT Championship,” said Chin whose company not only promotes motor-racing events but has also successfully organized a concerts in Malaysia which involved International K-pop artistes.

“This marks a new milestone for JPM Motorsport. We see this exciting event, as another step towards realizing our vision and mission which is: to make motorsports accessible to enthusiasts by creating opportunities and proper platforms, and to build an active and dynamic motorsports lifestyle community through various events, and ultimately, and by doing so, becoming a leader through active participation and unique conceptualization of all motorsport related activities.”

As a leading promoter of international and world class events, JPM Motorsport believes Malaysia is an ideal hub for SummerNats given the increasing levels of appreciation and the growing number of enthusiasts as well as serious collectors of classic, custom, hot rods, muscle and super cars. 

Envisioned not only to become Malaysia’s largest automotive event but a regional attraction for the ASEAN automotive market, SummerNats Malaysia will also serve as a large commercial and marketing platform for car manufacturers, exhibitors of automotive products and accessories to display and promote their products to the general public.

Hundreds of vehicles will be available on display which consists of American and European classic, sports and muscle cars, some of which are collectibles from JPM Motorsport’s very own auto musuem.  This includes legendary classics such as the AC Cobra, the Chevrolet Camaro SS, the Chevrolet Bel Air, the Chevrolet Impala and the all American, the legendary Ford Mustang. Also on display will be thousand custom made two wheelers and exotic super bikes.

The first edition of SummerNats Malaysia will feature 8 of the competition winning cars from Australia being put on display for Malaysian car enthusiasts.

One of the highlights of the event will be the SummerNats Street Machine parade which will involve not only Muscle Cars, Classic Cars, Supercars and Sports cars but also include all genre of motorcycles from choppers and superbikes, to sports bike and even interesting bikes like Vespa participating in a parade within and outside of the Sepang International Circuit.
