Message: <blockquote data-quote="acedin" data-source="post: 1063595767" data-attributes="member: 117909">HI Tasman, you hit the major issues right on the nail...please see below an excerpt of my column/writings which will never be published....cheers________________________________________JP Chin has already promised a bigger and better Super GT 2012. “This year we had some surprises, challenges and difficulties, but we will always learn from that experience. For example, in the eleventh hour, we were told by the SIC we could not use the track ticketing booth so we had to resort to ticketing portable cabins. From this experience, we learned that we can’t assumed anything in our preparations”, said JP Chin. For that matter, JP Chin is not discounting any possibilities of drastic changes for next year’s Super GT, including the venue options for the event. “As the event’s promoter and organizer, we are always open to options including the possibility of having the race in alternative venues such as at the Johor Pasir Gudang track, provided the track complies with the minimum standard for holding such international races”. He also mentioned that he has already been approached by parties interested to move this Super GT race from Malaysia to neighboring countries such as Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.Nordin Saisi, the JPM Motorsport Director of Operations added that the economical benefits of such an international event to a country like Malaysia is a no brainer. “Such an event brought more than 1,000 crew members from the participating teams, and thousands of motorsport fans from the region. Their spending during their stay in Malaysia is definitely more than the cost of running such event”, he said. “However, this is where the financial model breaks for motorsport industry, as the revenue goes into a different baskets. The gainers are those in the airline, hotel, and service industries, whereas the organizer is left with all the expenses in running the event, with little direct revenue to show for.” The Super GT will definitely be a test case for the industry in Malaysia as this is the first and only major international motorsport event that is totally and privately funded by JP Performance Motorsport, without any funding from the government, and only with very limited and almost non-existence corporate sponsorships. With the success of the Super GT 2011 organised by JPM Motorsport, we can only hope that organisations, both public and private will come forward to support this event for 2012, especially financially. Without that, this commendable effort by JPM to save Super GT in Malaysia may prove to only be a temporary lease of life for two short years in 2011 and 2012.__________________________---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------Hi D4RK, I am also learning on the tape thingy.
