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

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. For bikers, JPM Motorsport will be
