Co-organiser Adian Yein of Ignition.my says, “Every other marketing industry places heavy emphasis on the ‘Playstation-Generation’, so the time is ripe that Motorsports embraces the culture too, and maximises the entertainment value for this age group. Almost all car-enthusiasts below 40 know what Gran Turismo is all about, so let’s take that excitement is bring it to life!”“Just like any other sub-culture, the street-racers are misunderstood. They’re grew up racing modified street cars on the computer, and have now grown up and seek a playground. We’re providing it, and hope that they can make the next step to proper circuit and rally racing from here on.”Organised in a League-table, best-4 times from Heat 1 will run again with cars with the best-4 times from Heat 2, and vice-versa, culminating in a Final Heat comprising of the drivers that set the best-8 times during the preliminary heats.Round 1 will be held at Sepang International Circuit on 26 Sept 2010!Gran Turismo comes to life at Sepang this 26 Sept!SCHEDULEMORNING 9:00 am – 12:00 noon- Open track day- Charges:o RM 300 per entry / SGD 130o RM 200 per entry for Speed Challenge participantso Transponders extra RM 120 / SGD 50o 2nd driver RM 100 each / SGD 45AFTERNOON 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm- Speed Challenge event, with the following categorieso FF Festivalo FR Serieso 4WD Battleo MR Pursuito Open Game (anything goes, Race-cars up to 2000cc included)Entry Regulationso Entry fee: RM 350 / SGD 160 includes transpondero Closing date 19/9/2010.
