A1GP 2008

Being lucky to know Desmond Khoo, we were able to get free tickets from him. Thank you. Being lucky to know Danny Chooz, he brought us (Me, Zul and Emmy) to Team Malaysia Pit Garage. Thank you. As we step into the garage, we never step out of it since. Main reason, we don't have an official pass. We went in through connections. Hehehe~ So better to stay in one place. My view was excellent. There was TV that was showing live telecast of the race. So I can watch it from the garage. And I have the front seats for their pit stop. They are slightly slower than F1 pit stops but they are still very fast. 10 secs is all they need to change the tyres. F1 got 3 people handling one tyre, and in A1, only 1 person is handling it. So that is where slows it down a bit.

Overall, the environment in the garage was exciting, nerve wrecking, suspense, disappointed, shocked.. you name it, we got it right in the garage. Every moment spent in there was priceless. And it's my first ever time that I watched the whole race standing~ Was tiring till the end, but worth it~

I will upload some videos from the race soon and link it. Please be patience. At the meantime, enjoy some photos at the pit garage of Team Malaysia.
