Surviving only half the race last year due to engine problems, the Australian Holden V8 Supercar Experience Racing Team is returning to Sepang Circuit for the 2008 Petronas Primax 3 Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race with stronger determination and to go all the way to the chequered flag for the coveted crown.
Photos from the event.The previous round of the Sepang Drag Battle was held right after the fuel price increased and the crowd were somehow decreased for that reason. Came the third round and the drag battle was back to its usual festival like crowd and the pits stuffed with people and machines aspiring to watch and get to that sub-10 sec time.
Sepang Drag Battle 2008 enters its third round at Sepang Circuit this Saturday night with two-time overall champion Lai Wee Sing desperately looking for a win to keep his championship hopes for the open class alive.
Three days before the official closing date, event organizer Sepang International Circuit (SIC) has received a total of 74 entries for the Petronas Primax 3 Merdeka Millennium Endurance race (MME) including a full grid of 20 cars for Class A for production cars above 1900cc.Last year, SIC had a record entry of 103 cars, which was later reduced to 77 for the actual race as according to the maximum number of cars permitted by the FIA circuit license for a rolling start.
Photos from the Sunday Track Day , 10th August session 1pm - 4pm. Unlike a regular trackday this trackday was split into two sessions. Most of the cars seen on track were teams preparing for the upcoming 12-hours endurance race ( MME ) to be held later this month.Tagging along were the open-seater race cars , v8 grunting Porsches and the screaming race-tuned Hondas apart from the everyday daily driver cars such as the Perodua Kelisa, Perodua Kancil,N issan Bluebird SSS and few Proton Wira.Nevertheless everyone paying the hefty RM 200 fee seem to be having a good time though those 55 litres of V-Power is now at RM 3.15 per/litre and if you were in the second track session held from 4 - 7pm well sorry we dont have your pics in here but you can still enjoy the photos.
