My first F1 Circuit, Sepang Malaysia 2009

It was eleven in the Sunday morning. I was awakened by George to accompany him to F1 racing with 2 free tickets. With mind of dull, I promised him. I was so tired with continuously late work until mid night for past 5 days. Finally, it was completed and I truly hope our efforts will gains something in the project. With this opportunity, I think it was a chance to me to release tension.

Well, it was my first time in F1 race show. I felt a little bit exciting with the race show. Unfortunately, HL’s mother had a small accident while walking down from staircase (I hope she is fine now). It stopped George attends the F1 with me. With no choice, I have to find another partner without wasted the ticket which is worth RM400 each. Heng is a F1 lover. He is the best candidate to be invited, and I “forced” him to drive (haha… devil). It was a smooth journey along the way until we reached to the F1 ticket booth. We need to buy a parking ticket to enter to the car park. It charged us RM50 each, at PA4 (it is the cheapest ticket and it was long in queue). This is my most expensive parking ticket I have never bought before. However, we still have not reached to our destination after came out from the ticket booth. It was jam like hell and we stucked in the congestion in an hour, with just a short distance (less than 1 km). The worst part is we spent RM50 to park our car in the mud land (haha, is it worth with RM50?). We were 30 minutes late to the seat. But, I don’t think we have missed anything since the race car still will pass the same point again and again. Throughout, we still enjoyed the race with extreme “groooooom”. My ears almost penetrated with the tremendous F1 engine’s sound (hehe, we didn’t get any ear plug). Something was disappointed in lap 33. They have to halt the race after raised out the red flag due of the heavy rain. The wet track is not allowed any racer continues the race in high risk, and it ended the race. Errrr, I quite disappointed with that arrangement, but we cannot do much on it.


This event was meant to me to experience the flaming atmosphere with crowed crazy fans. Between, I really enjoyed the moment of the race car past in front of me. For those fans who love F1, now I know why you all were willing to spend such money on it. The feeling of viewing in live is totally different from TV's live show. Nevertheless, I will rather spend the money in other events or other stuff rather than “F1 parking ticket and entrance ticket” (some more with terrible jam..haha).

Tips for the first time visitor ** I saw quite number of cars parked outside from Sepang Circuit. With certain risk, you can save your parking fee if you dare to do it.
