"This is another state of the art design. As an F1 freaks, I'll be there on almost every motorace occasions. Cool tracks...low downforce is crucial especially at those 2 long straights. This track also had been the home for other race events sch as Japan GT, and Motocross.
This year its nice to have A.Yoong. Hope to see more crowd. See you guys there!!!
