hey anyone here plan to attend this coming F1 race at Sepang? Anyone got free ticket?

Yes, I'm plannin to go, but still waiting 4 my free tickets..

oh good... if got extra free tickets pls dun forget me wor...

Usually there wont be more, coz i'm not d 1 getting them, my friend would just give me one, if he gets them. Been there the past two years, but i think watching d tele is much more interesting. BUT, u can get to c alot of cuties at the GP as well.

Me goin spore f1.......cost me RM685!!!!!!!! ........stressssssssssssss

Wa...sing F1, night race, I might be there also, but will b watching from a balcony, if I'm there..

Been to Sepang F1 twice over the years. Yah, for the chicks as well as the F1 sound :

peeEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUU, PEEEEUUUUU, PEEEUUUUU, PEEEEEUUUU

have attended the F1 in Sepang 3 times so far. all 3 times I won the tickets from contest. Once I even won a Grand stand. I admit watching from TV gives you a much better view of all cars but the feel and sound watching it live is something you really gotta do it at least once !!! The F1 engine roaring sound is damn damn LOUD! not even the normal ear plug will do the job of protecting your ears. I used a industrial plug.

yippee.... F1 is coming to town
definitely am going, already addicted to the sound & the 'aroma' of burning rubber

dONT U GUYS THINK THAT F1 is best on TV? go to sepang can only hear the cars and u do not know what is happening at the other side of the track!

Bro, when u're in Sepang, u get 2 c d cars n hear d F1 cars roar past live. There's also huge screens broadcasting the event as well, not 2 mention d nose bleeds tat comes with it.

i can't explain with words.... the crowd, the noise, the aroma, the ambiance... etc...etc...etc...
you don't get this from your lcd/plasma screen

lemme put it this way;
a) watching F1 on your tele = driving your brand spanking new Lancer GT (cool ey?)
b) watching live from the track side = driving a Lancer GT, fitted with all the mod's you can think of & Jessica Alba is sitting next to you

yayy, Hamilton won in Australia. Definitely going to Sepang and hopefully a McLaren 1-2 finish. Been to Sepang to watch the race for 8 times since 2000.

yeah definitely agree with you, the atmosphere at the track on race day is some thing u can't feel from TV. the engine from the TV is not even one tenth of the live engine sound. You hear it you get hot blooded !

Imagine having Lancer GT's race as the feature race before the FI race...

Eh, me no hamilton fan, sorri la. Anyways, tickets confirmed, I'll be seated at crystal area, c any1 of u guys there this weekend.

cannot lah...now Jessica Alba already pregnant liao..perut buncit already.

I still can recall the memory of seeing F1 car braking in front of me at the sharp corner and accelarate away, all in all within 4 meters away only...you could practically feel the sound wave and speed.

Precisely! Anyone interested with F1 "must" experience the "live" atmosphere at least once. I sat at Grand Stand F, one of the grandstand closest to the track, just a stone throw away. Its incredible. Not the best spot to see top speed, but the best spot to see the cars when they slow down at Turn 7 of Sepang.

You won't be able to see much on straightline, they're too fast, even at the turns, I've difficulty turning my head back and fort when one after another passes by. However, the trafic to Sepang on race day is a nightmare.

Anyone with free tickets to spare?

My personal preference is never to sit at "top speed seats" but one of the twisty corners; want to see daring overtaking or, even better, crashes! :)

I went to F1 race once...jam like hell going in and coming out...spend 7hrs to watch 1.5hr race...No More for Me!!!

Definately something a person should try at least once in your life.
Been there about 5 times but I usually go for friday or saturday when there's less crowds

gimme 5!! don't hate nor like him..


went for F1 race back at 2000 and the jam is crazy.. 1 hour spent crawling from the mosque to F1 track.. I was at the C1.. and the experience was great!! now, just wathing at home with family.. if there is free ticket, I would consider..

dunno y i pefer honda when its turbo era or because of late Senna... now i fancy bmw :) maybe malaysia home team ?

Some small lil video of d Ferrari garage:

ben's voice plus dunno whose cover the ferrari roar liao :)

My vids at the F1 today, enjoy..

nice osund

i was there too.....having only missed the ones in 2005 & 2006 due to work commitments....here's some of the pix i took....

c&c welcomed.....not pro mah

all shots handheld from d300 + mb-d10 + 70-200mm f2.8 + 2x telecon....hope u like em

Qualifying day:

Race day:

some great shots u got there shit!

I totally disagree : No HotBabe pics!

Shit.....i saw the gadget that I am aiming for.....Guess you have been enjoying yourself with the new toy. Anyway, congrats on your new toy.

Hey shit, there were so many ppl there, was trying to see if i knew any1, sigh, didnt get 2 c u...was a great day though..

thanks guys!!!

was in k1 grandstand n the hot babes were all hanging out at the start grid/paddock area so no deal.....cudn't entice them over to k1 hard as i tried....lol

next stop ------> spore nite race......surely gonna be one tough b*tch to shoot considering the lack of lite......maybe a gud excuse to upgrade to the d3....muwahahahahahah.....and risk my better half divorcing me......lol

later guys

Yeay....that's the way to go....D3...I will support you till the end. The SG nite race is challenging, high ISO, fast focusing lens, flashgun are necessary for the race. Go get the D3 and add two 00 at the back to make it looks like D300, then no need to worry abt someone divorcing you lor

MMM... nite race in Spore... reminds me of a thought playing at the back of mind.

Admins... convoy to TT for the Spore F1? All costs on-ur-own, of course, but if this happens hopefully club can arrange for race tickets.

Haven't been to Spore for quite a while, may bring family down there.

bro, since you have a good idea, why not you take the lead in organizing it? Let's see how many members are interested in this event. And again, i'm sure our JB members are interested in that too.

U guys better plan and confirm fast. I believe hotels in Spore already fully booked by now (unless u hv family/friends there to bunk in). And JB could be having a similar fate. On top of that, travelling from JB to S'pore will be a serious problem. Can't imagine how its gonna be on the causeways (Woodlands and Tuas). And mind you, roads in Spore could be just as bad. They already have heavy traffic on normal days, with this event, more M'sian cars travelling there + road closures for the race.

Now you've made me wish I'd shut my trap!

:)

Wifey (works in travel agent) not in town. Will check with her regarding hotel accommodations for the very night of the race but the more immediate issue is that I doubt she can help in any way regarding tickets and I sure don't have any connections in this regard... so how....? Vicky has already stated the current situations... perhaps I made a wishful-thinking post.... too late to come up with an idea as brilliant as mine :)

For F1 events/races, we need to plan way ahead especially if it is a group thingy. Which is to say we should start planning now for next years Spore F1!

Yo bro Rev, time 4 u 2 take d lead and c who wants to attend for next years F1 race, n start planning. As for me, I usually get tickets to d F1, so, better not count me in, sorry.

i believe flashguns will not be permitted as it'll distract/blind the drivers....safety issue...in anycase the flash range will not be sufficient enuf to reach the cars on the track....surely will be a challenging task.......







ya hor.......damn....i like having friends who are so 'creative'......me thinks u haf just helped me save me rear end this time...hehehhehehe....

@all: fyi the hotels near the race venue in spore are like 95% booked.....the only ones left are now in the region of sgd1000 p/nite and up.......average room rates are sgd380 and up during the f1 weekend.......bloody mahal leh.....i'm bunking at a friends place coz too stingy to get hotel room
