No. They are no war involving guns, pistols, atomic bombs and whatsoever, but there is definitely a man and monsta-machine war is going to "happen" this 22nd - 24th June at Sepang Circuit, Malaysia. Yeah, baby. It's the famous babelicious Super GT Round 4 Malaysia. With 16 entrant in GT500 class and 23 in GT300, phew.... we are talking about lots of lots of heavily tuned 350Z, NSX, Gallardo R-G3, Murcielago R-G1, F360 .... and more. All armed and delicious... :), dangerous should be more appropriate. Leave the delicious part to those half-naked gt queens , specially 'flew' from Japan. (Some of the girls are already in Malaysia, promoting the event).

Lets get hawt!! (Ticket Here)




In Manglish (Malaysian English) , 'taikyu' can also sweetly translated as 'your shit'. No kidding man. Ask people who friends of yours or whateva relationship it is. Perhaps its way too much exaggerated but... no hard feeling huh. This kinda race is awesome. Salute to all of mankind behind it.

For this year Japan's most grueling endurance race series, Petronas will be represented by Malaysian own Farique Hairuman and Nippon Samurai racer - Masataka Yanagida. Show your guts dudes!! (Now laying at 5th place overal in ST-class 1 and already collecting 18 points from 2 maiden races, thats huge!)




Spearheading the PETRONAS SYNTIUM TEAM’s challenge in the highly regarded Japanese endurance series is 23-year old Malaysian driver Mohamad Farique Hairuman, runner-up in the 2006 Asian Touring Car Championship. Farique will be partnered by experienced Japanese Formula Nippon driver Masataka Yanagida. The 27-year old driver from Tokyo will draw from his vast competitive experience in a number of championships, including the infamous Japan Gran Tourismo, or GT series, Formula Nippon and the All-Japan F3 championship. Both drivers will be competing in the championship with the BMW Z4 M Coupe, which was also unveiled at the exhibition.
