Enjoyed my 2 days at the track.

Compared to first edition (1999), things were organised better. Parking was easier to access. Then again, RM800 got me a grandstand ticket in 1999 and same amount got me covered seat at Turn One. Thanks to a fellow biker buddy, I got the ticket FREE. However, prices of souvenirs were cheaper.. 

Due to my seating position (Row D in K-Prime), most pictures taken were zoomed and processed digitally, hence poor resolutions. Most pics were zoomed 3X optically and another 3-4X digitally (9-12X total) and plus the cars were blazing the track at 250 kph, it was not easy to capture clear still shots. Really envy those with press passes, good locations and fast teles.   

Hope to be there to hear the roars of V10s again in 2003
