2007 Merdeka Millennium Endurance race on RM0.50 per ticket

[Daniel Lee]

SEPANG: Tickets for the 12-hour Petronas Primax 3 Merdeka Millennium Endurance (MME) race went for RM10 each in previous editions. But for the eighth edition at the Sepang F1 Circuit from Aug 23-25, it will cost only 50 sen.
The decision to reduce the price was taken by the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) in conjunction with the 50th National Day celebrations.
The project manager for the MME, Mashithah Hashim, said: “The collection from ticket sales will go to welfare organisations to be announced later.”
The MME will be a carnival event this year. Besides the endurance race, there will be entertainment shows and car carnivals.
“We expect about 10,000 people to attend this year's event.
“We are also hoping that individual as well as corporations would come forward to increase the collection of funds,” said Mashithah.
The categories contested are Class A (more than 1,900cc), Class B (between 1,801cc and 1,900cc) and Class C (below 1,800cc). The closing date for entries is Aug 16.
Only a maximum of 77 cars will be allowed to contest on race day on Aug 25, beginning at 11am. If there are more than 77 entries, a qualifying session will be held the previous day.
A total of 25 cars will be allowed to race in both Class A and Class B and 27 cars for Class C.

Sim,
the promo is for spectator not for the fee competing in the race.
Anyway, if your car can qualify for the race, you still need two more drivers to compliment you.
The race requires 3 drivers per car.

 

[TCSIM]

icic.. sorry about that.. I never heard of this event before...

 

[Daniel Lee]

Then you should buy a ticket and watch the race.

 

[TCSIM]

Anyone going?

 

[Daniel Lee]

I might attend.
Just waiting for the date of the race to come nearer to confirm I have no class on that day.
Team Petronas is racing a new BMW Z4 M coupe in this year's MME race in the open class.
It will definitely be an interesting race.

 

[TCSIM]

Any difference between the new Z4 M and other Z4?

[TCSIM]
