■June 26th Official Practice Day
Well. I've arrived in Malaysia. I left Haneda on Wednesday night and arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport early on Thursday morning. Personally, I come to the Sepang Winter Test every January, so it's not a long time in a while, but there are quite a lot of people in the media who are new to us and first in 12 years.
As many of you may know, the Sepang International Circuit is a course with very good access from the airport. Even if you shop at a shop inside a gas station, you will arrive at the circuit in 30 minutes. Many teams have been preparing since around Tuesday, so the pit lane is already almost complete.
This is the EBM GIGA 911 GT3, which will be participating in the spot this time. The pit positioning frame is a team logo and it looks pretty cool. Asian teams have a pretty good sense of style in this way.
A classmate duo of Yamamoto Naoki and Yamauchi Hideki were filming the video. The highly popular Suzuka Circuit Super GT introduction video appears again this year as the “third installment”, and the recording seems to have been very exciting.

There are a wide selection of Japanese sports cars at the Japan Festival in the event plaza on the grandstand side. Officials from Malaysia also took photos and videos with smiles. It is influenced by movies and anime, and since Malaysia has a tuning culture in the first place, JDM is also popular here.
This is the Civic in STANLEY CIVIC TYPE R-GT color! I'm sure there are people in Japan who want to do this. By the way, in Malaysia, it's OK to put stickers on the front window as well (in Japan).
By the way, to get to the back of the stands from the paddock, go through this underground passage. The lighting is quite dim, but on the left and right sides of the aisle there were various posters, such as the F1 and MotoGP, which were held in Sepang in the past. Isn't it a surprisingly treasure?
To introduce some of the posters for F1 in 2013. The Petronas connection of a state-owned Malaysian company depicts the Mercedes F1 and Lewis Hamilton. Incidentally, Petronas officially signed a naming rights agreement in 2023, so the official name is now “Petronas Sepang International Circuit.”
