Re: 29 May 2008 sepang track day

Well even if it is true, I think it is quite last minute. Not sure if many people able to join. Some more it is only 2 hours. So how much is the fee? RM200?

The Circuit Activity Calendar on their website (http://malaysiangp.com.my/story/-circuit-activity-calendar) also not updated. The June 1st (Sunday) still shown as track day which is no longer correct because Singapore drivers did a private rental...

yeap i jus called to fazli.. he say tat RM150 ...

yes speed demon u r right. SIC rarely updates their calendar and i think i know the reason why. They are more interested in private booking. When last minute no private booking, only then they will open the track for 'ordinary' guys like us. thats why open track day now mostly on weekdays (i.e 23/5 & 29/5).

im not blaming them though, they need all the money they can get to 'maintain' the world class circuit status.

anyway too much of track day can do harm to ur machine

Private bookings definitely bring more income than us 'sometimes only' track drivers. But when I look at SIC's overall calendar, I think there are more than enough events to cover costs. No matter what they are only one of two racing circuits in the whole country, so they have a responsibility in the development of motorsports in the country. And allowing low-cost events such as open track day is a very good & cheap way of doing this, not to mention providing an alternative to illegal street races.

I always find it a pity that 'one-make' races have not been happening here.

Actually if you look at the membership fee structure and benefits, the costs are not that different. Though I guess one savings will be via transportation costs.

If my memory serves me right, there are about 250 cars participated track day late January this year. So, if my calculation correct 250 cars x RM 200 = RM 50,000. Not bad for one day LOL.
