Come on, hear the noise!!

The final list of entrants for MegaLAP ClubSPRINT Round 1 2013 on 2 February 2013.

The good news: The ClubSPRINT Time Attack has exceeded all expectations, with 120 cars participating, and more than half from car Clubs that are excited to be able to challenge their friends head-to-head in a friendly environment! Sadly, due to over-subscription we have not been able to accommodate all Clubs and Organisations that registered. We really hope that you guys will get a chance during the next round on 5th May.

And now, the not so good news: we were just informed yesterday evening that Super GT are testing in Sepang throughout this week, and that from Sunday onwards it’ll then be MotoGP testing for 2 weeks. And therefore, this weekend all but 6 pits will be taken up by SuperGT and MotoGP.

Parking allocations by Category at P5 (Click to enlarge)

We have discussed this issue with Sepang, and they agreed to try and make it more comfortable for our event: they will allow access to the air-conditioned Common Rooms behind pits 28-33 as well as some of the gazebo rooms behind the pit building for our use.

However, cars will need to be parked at the Paddock P5. Please refer to the diagram below, We have divided up the area with post metal barriers with some signage for each category.

This isn’t as problematic as it may seem, as we have also adjusted the Schedule to accommodate these changes. Thus, there will be a single 1-hour timed session for each category, rather than 2 x 30 minute sessions. Effectively this is more track time, as it’s actually 2 x 25 mins, and this will now be 1 x 55 mins. It’s also means less movement of the cars.

REGISTRATION & DRIVER’S BRIEFING

Registration starts at the Media Centre at 12:30pm, and the Driver’s Briefing will be conducted at 2:00pm at the same place. The briefing is compulsory, for us to inform you of how the event will run.

USAGE OF THE PITS

The 6 pits that are allocated to us will be used for Drive-Thru Scrutineering and Staging for each Session, and ONLY VEHICLES THAT ARE RUNNING WITHIN THE CURRENT SESSION ARE PERMITTED TO USE THE PITS.

If it is NOT your Session, then you will be asked to please exit the pit and permit other participants that are running to be able to use it. Please be considerate to others.

Traffic Route for 2 Feb 2013 (Click to Enlarge)

TRAFFIC ROUTE

We have had to make some alternative plans and traffic routing. We are requested to not drive behind or in-front of the pits where the MotoGP teams are setting up, and these areas will be blocked off. Please refer the plan beow on how that works.

ROOMS ALLOCATIONS

There are 3 Common Rooms, and they are allocated as follows:
Team Common Room 13 (behind pits 28/29): RS Colectif
Team Common Room 14 (behind pits 30/31): Forte
Team Common Room 15 (behind pits 32/33): VW Club

The other categories please make yourself at home in the gazebo rooms behind the Pit Building.

The decision above is without prejudice: it’s pure numbers.

PADDOCK ACCESS

All participating cars are provided with Paddock passes for 2 pax – 1 for the driver, another for crew/gf/wife/3rd wife. Additional spectators pass is RM 10.00 each, these are sold at the entrance.

A quick note to mention that registration is officially closed, due to over-subscription!

Response and support by the various participating Clubs is phenomenal, and we’re looking forward to an exciting event come 2nd February at Sepang!

Also, the time has changed slightly, with the event being pushed back by 1-hour due to some conflict in booking on SIC’s side. So we’ll hit the track at 3:00pm and will run till 7:00pm. An updated schedule will be posted soon.

Participating Clubs are:
RS Collectif (11 cars)
VolvoRacer (20 cars)
Jom Forte (23 cars)
VAG Challenge (21 cars)
Kemaman 6-Speed Club (8 cars)

A quick update:

1) Yes, the regs are on the way. Should be out within the next day or two. For now:
- Confirm that Federal 595RS-R tyres will be classified as Street tyres for 2013 series.
- Confirm that the general ClubSPRINT categories will be there, with some slight tweaks to broaden the classifications and entries, and maybe a name change. NA 2.5L, VTEC/FI/Above 2.5L, Campro+4G1x, CVT+Auto.

2) We are able to announce that the following Clubs have confirmed their participation, thus creating their own club categories:
- VolvoRacer Club: they were there are MegaLAP Pasir Gudang! No, please don’t call them soccer-mom transports. These boys and their cars are fast!
-  VAG Club: VWs and Audis, with 2 sub-categories – Below 1.4L, and Above 1.4L
- Lancer GT Club: Their first outing was at MegaLAP Night Edition last December, in the rain at Sepang. Think about that for a moment. These guys are hardcore!
- 4G1x: Yep, a whole bunch are coming! This is definitely exciting!

3) Awaiting confirmation (they need the minimum 10 cars participating):
- Jazz Club: they had a big track day last year, and are very interested in MegaLAP
- Altezza Club: they also had a big track day last year..
- City Club: trying to find the numbers
- Forte Club: ditto. Definitely interesting!
- Subaru Club: are you guys coming??
- Renault RS Collectif: a horde of Megane RS and Clio RS *slurps!*

The above Clubs have contacted us, and are trying to build the numbers. Hope your members can see what a great opportunity this is, and support the initiative! Closing date to register Clubs is next week!
