Catching the Super GT in Sepang from the Sky

Racing fans will have a unique opportunity of catching actions at the upcoming 2008 Super GT International Series Malaysia at Sepang Circuit from June 20 to 22 from the sky from the comfort of hot-air balloons.

“The hot air balloons will be an added attraction for the race this year. It’s going to be a truly unique experience that fans would definitely enjoy,” says Azlan Akil, who is Sepang International Circuit (SIC) Advertising and Promotions Manager, and project manager for the race.

Speaking at a press conference at Equatorial Kuala Lumpur, Azlan said that three hot-air balloons would be strategically located at vantage points to allow perfect view of the racing actions at the event, which would also included five support races - the Asian Touring Car Series, the Asian GT Challenge, the Asian Formula Renault Challenge, Formula BMW Pacific and the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia.

The GT race in Sepang would be Round 4 of a nine-round Super GT International Series 2008, where eight other rounds are held in Japan. As the only race outside Japan and offering an entirely different challenge for the drivers and teams, the Sepang race is waited anxiously by them for bragging rights to win the most difficult race of the series.
