Malaysian F1 GP 2010 (Formula 1 in Sepang)
It is time again for the Grand Prix in Malaysia on April 2-4. The Malaysian GP will take place for the 12th time already from at the Sepang track, about 1h south of Kuala Lumpur. It will be the third race of the season after Bahrain and Melbourne.aaa
The tickets are pricy but are still considered cheap compared to the ticket prices for races in Europe. Ticket prices range from RM100 to RM2600. The cheapest way to experience the race or the weekend (all tickets are valid from friday to sunday) is get a hillstand ticket (RM100), but make sure you bring an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun the very likely tropical rain. I got a pretty bad sunburn the other year just by walking from the main road where the taxi dropped us off and then walking 15min to the entrance of the track.
So dont forget: umbrella, sunblock and water!!! Oh, and ear plugs, it is incredibly loud.

A cicak story about 2 urban chinese guys deciding to head down to Bukit Binang (Kuala Lumpur) in the middle of the night to play their guitars. Unexpectedly they make friends with a group of guys from Sabah. A fresh story about a night in downtown KL and music as a common language.
Automotive consultant John Mansfield from England has been a guest of Red Palm Hostel in Kuala Lumpur since August 2006, on and off. I sat down with him to talk about his vision to set up a Motorsports University at the Sepang F1 Circuit, what he likes about Malaysia, travelling the country and his outlook to the upcoming Grand Prix.
