Hashim and I went to Sepang International Circuit for 2008 Sepang MotoGP. We left Muar about 8.00am in the morning, and get there about 10.00am. The Weather was so good, the crowds - not bad and the chicks - totally hot! :p
The race starts with 125cc, 250cc and comes to the climax - MotoGP, Rossi 'the Doctor' strive for victory. Besides, he already made his 6th world champion title on the previous race at the Montegi Circuit, Japan ( Sept.18, 2008).
At Sepang, the Yamaha Fiat rider, Rossi battled for the 1st position with Casey Stoner, Aussie born rider for couple laps before he made gaps and cruising all the way till finishing line.
The race was really entertaining and I wish can be there again next year!
