As promised, here are the remnants of last Sunday’s race; with galleries divided into several parts throughout the day. We hope you enjoy them! Descriptions and galleries are after the jump. Image above; the Raybrig NSX-R on the back straight during the opening stages of the race!

p.s. The race queen gallery is in here too!

The Convoy

As we have shown yesterday, we hitched on a ride with a convoy of 180 performance rides, ranging from Caldinas, S15s, 350zs to Evos, Integras as well as Subarus. Here are more shots of the event, as well as its gallery.

Uncle Hamdan from the Subaru Club Malaysia calling all drivers to attend the briefing.

This car should be familiar to most, and its driver too

The Mall

When we arrived at the track, another group from the JSOC (Japanese Supercar Owners Club) have already booked their places in the circuit’s mall. They range from cars with cool GT-like bodykits with widebody conversions being commonplace and rims with lips deeper than your pail, they certainly were an attraction, like these few cars.

The arrival of the Subies

Of course it’s not a Soarer, the hood’s too long! This Supra owner has gone to great lengths to make his car a standout.

The Pitwalk

When the time for the pitwalk came, we were already burning from the midday heat. Ironically, it was drizzling for quite sometime not even an hour ago! As you can see from the album, the teams were making last-minute adjustments to their cars, making them perfect for the race. The Motul/Autech GT-R was having problems of it’s own though. They wouldn’t let us get close

One of the winners of the Aston Martin Asia Cup, this time hailing from Sri Lanka. I wonder where they normally keep their cars when not racing?

Team IMPUL’s GT-R at rest. Check out the tight carbon weave. Nice.

The Action

Time for the race to happen! The crowd was awfully responsive, and every time the drivers started their engines, the whole grandstand would stand up on their feet and cheer. Nothing like Malaysian spirit! After playing the Negaraku and the Kimigayo, members of the GT Club were invited along with a skeleton crew onto the main straight – something which we missed because;

1) We were not capable of affording GT Club passes (or even procuring them!)

2) We did not manage to secure a Press pass Hopefully, we would be able to fulfill you with better images next year!

The eventual winner, the TOMICA Ebbro GT-R which started on the pole position itself.

Hey! Dorifto King Keiichi Tsuchiya was seen hanging around the pre-race area. What was he doing, looking at his other competitors? :p

The gaijin drivers’ club was spotted hanging out on their own. Hey, racing can be a friendly sport, as shown by the drivers’ camaraderie.

The Queens!

How can we forget them! The lovely ladies which are all flown from Japan (plus some local ones too!). We won’t say much, enjoy the images!!!

Orido-san is lucky to have a sweetie like Mika-chan to hold his umbrella! Till the next event or posting, drive safe!

This Mini pickup was quite a sight to behold. (Shamefully we don't know the exact model, but its most probably a Mark 4 pickup truck)

After bringing you the first part of the paid segment of the show, let’s continue onto the second segment! Continuing where we left off, the packed VIP-style area quickly led to a very quiet corner of the Stadium Putra; only a few cars were displayed in the nook and crannies leading to the actual badminton courts. The place was rather chilly at this point and coupled with the dim lighting, made for a seram experience!

Together with it was the original Mini Cooper, which we still love (and prefer) over the BMW Mini...go-kart handling FTW!

A closeup of the pickup's rear deck. Today, you can only fit a couple of cartons of beers in it, nothing else. How times have changed!

The missus loves this MyVI. God knows why, but good detail on those flames!

Oh, hai, Bluebird SSS! Let's take a peek into your engine bay since its open for all to see!

Do we see a 13B rotary? The amount of work done on the engine bay alone impresses us!

GReddy's third largest turbo has a prominent residence! Dude! Where's your air filter? We're not living in the Alps you know

More information about the GReddy T88-33D turbine here

A parting shot of the Bluebird SSS with its extremely lovable deep-dish rims

We chisten this the green Hello Kitty Kelisa!

We wish we can say more, but the conflicting color scheme and rims disallows us

They call this the Mini Monster. Figures, it as a force-inducton engine. At the very least, show off its rad-looking 2000 Mini headlights too!

Somebody please just ban this bad boy from our streets. Think of the women (and children)!!

Ah, at last, a track-attack Mini!

This showpiece from the Mini Club looks absolutely stunning!

As we head to the main show floor, located at the stadium floor, we spotted a personality that’s so arresting, we had to stop by just to snap a pic! Helloooooo Big Daddy!

On the main show floor, there were many rides which clamoured for our attention, including this 350Z with a homage to the previous JGTC Calsonic Skyline livery

The plate says it all; this bodykit club has made a cool Bimmer, but can it go fast? Only the owner knows!

A closer look at the additional track at the rear of the E46.

A nice game reference there, but two games on one car? This should have NFS: Undercover on it!

Here are the members of the B1 Bodykit club posing with a model

This is a live demo by Toms Stickers. Taking a Kelisa from zero to a hero in a day is possible these days!

Nice and mean widebody 3. We think its taking its cues from those DTM machines

National cars also look good once they're done up, dont'cha think?

One of the more unique cars on the show floor, name us the chassis!

How cute! A Wira with V9-inspired 'Flying Vag' grille and a fake hand at its numberplate. The cops won't miss this one!

An interesting way to mount your GT wing. Hope it doesn't fly off at 120!

You HAVE to give this Wira some props as his emulation of a JGTC Pitwork Skyline looks quite authentic in its details, down to the center hub-locking Nismo rims. The front though, is a different story alltogether.

Ah, yes, Malaysia's most famous Kancil.

A familiar sight, eh?

This Gen2 has things popping out of its hood......let's take a closer look!

Meters out from the hood! Cool? Yes. Practical? Definitely not! LOL

A movie-inspired Celica. Nice paintjob, missing the lightbar, though

Another famous showcar, the 'Alien' Audi Wira

Ford Laser/Lynx? Or Proton? You decide!

Orange Power! Eh, no wait, its M-Power *sweats*

1JZ in a Starion! If we remember correctly, this car was also featured in one Hypertune issue, no?

This is how we do it! CCFLs begone! Florescent tubes hello!

Oh hi there, Nissan GT-R/Volvo 850 lookalike!

Another JGTC-inspired bodykit design. We know how aggressive these aerokits can look, but are they durable enough for daily use?

This car is familiar around Sunway...that paintjob is a few years old, yet it looks good!

We know the owner will never drive at night; terrible visibilty from those smoked headlamps!

Ah, here we are, the Kenari-eyed Datsun with the humongous ICE system!

There was also a couple of shows throughout the day, but as we visited the venue at night, we only managed to catch the flamethrower showdown on camera. Check out these two pictures for an inkling of what the ‘Fire Dragon’ can do. A fitting end to the story too, we suppose, so until next time, drive safe!
