<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Hey Ben, only Tom80 your asking for a few beers on the side?? I'm off to Sepang too you know
I'm gonna be purchasing my tix online from the circuit webby. Which hotel are you putting up at??
Heatwise...following the weather for south asia countries during the month of Sept ..it would be reali hot... and since M'sia is a muslim country I seriously doubt they would be selling alcohol on the side track though..but hey..its my first Moto GP too..what do I know
We are staying in the grand plaza for a week in KL, then we are having a week in Penang (its our honeymoon
)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>So this is your first moto GP too? Im sure we can all meet for a drink.
Not sure about accomodation yet, but with cheap priced tickets I reckon a night in the Sheraton is'nt far off.
Hey, I'm definatley up for meeting people at the track

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Well Sweetheart, you got to get a move on then, I tried to book at PanPac and their are fully book. The only hotel room that they are able to get me would cost me RM808nett per night. Concorde have a MOTO GP package the cheapest with being 4 days 3 nights RM 1035nett (breakfast n dinner included), ordinary room would cost ard rm 207nett. As for sheraton, I would sincerely advice you to check out the distance from the hotel to the circuit as the taxi price ranges from rm100 - rm 35. Personally, I wouldn't advice you to get the cab cause, they will 'murder' you on the charges.
Even if you get a hotel in the KL city, taxi drivers will literally kill you with the prices even thought eh distance could just be less than 10mins. But for hotels aroound Sepang circuit, you seriously have to start your looking now, they are way advance booked.
For me I will be driving up on Fri afternoon, which means I would reach there late afternoon or evening as its a 5 hrs drive from Singapore and my bro finish schl ard 11am. On Friday night, i'm planning to rent a car from the hotel I am staying and probably head out to the club scene in KL city. A word of advice, be careful when you got to KL. Lately lots of reports of girls being grabbed and ..... and murder. My mum I guess was worried thats why in the end instead of just me and my bro, the whole family is going. As for foreigners, I'm not trying to scare you guys or acting all knowing, although I am an Asian, heck, its not safe even for me to go around on my own, that's why my personal bodyguard aka not so little bro is going with me.
Clubs to check out, Zouk KL, originated from my home country, in Singapore Zouk is one of the hottest club around. Been meaning to check out the KL branch to see if it as good. Clubs in KL are happening and worth to check out. Any takers?
Btw, as fasting month is that month, most prob, KL would be a lil 'holy' so don't take offence to what the locals say and just respect the culture.
hey Rina,
Thats really useful info, thanks for posting.
Interesting to hear about the taxi's as I've been told they are dirt cheap (we are planning just to get a taxi there each day) - is this something you know for sure? If so, I'll probably check out trains and stuff. I was going to hire a bike, but was told the traffic is manic and it's probably not the best idea!
Cheers for the club info too!
Man all this talk is getting me excited, its gonna be the best holiday ever! (been saving for it long enough - so it should be!)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>My first was Donnington 1997, apart from Donnington 9 years straigh,t i've only ever been to a couple more... Assen and Jerez. Sepang would be cool, i'd expect it to be extremely hot, and I highly doubt they'd sell beer trackside, it's a Muslim country.
Welcome to the site too
9 straight years - thats a good record bud!
