Press Release

Jan 2 – The tranquil atmosphere of A’ Famosa Resort, Melaka, was broken by the sounds of rumbling exhausts as about 30 cars from Kuala Lumpur, Seremban, Melaka and Johor converged at the open air car park of A’ Famosa Waterworld to take part in the inaugural MLOC Gymkhana Super Series 2010. Building a strong partnership with Defying Grip, Sunoco Japan Motorsport, www.tyrepac.com.my and Motorsport Playground, MLOC made history when it became the first car club to organize a gymkhana for its members. The Star Motoring, ExtremeKars, Traffic Magazine Online, Pro Tuners Magazine, On The Road Magazine and www.drift.com.my were the official media partners for the event.

The one day event saw 18 competitors vying for the top spot of both Open and Non-Aspirated Categories. After the drivers’ briefing by Defying Grip, the drivers were led through all 5 sections of the track that was specifically set for the competition. Practice session started shortly after and the drivers used that chance to take note of the optimum racing lines and braking points while memorizing the course. By midday, the competitors were already pushing their limits to shave off precious seconds. Most of the drivers had clocked an average time of 1 minute 30 seconds in the light drizzle. As the practice session window drew to a close, Mike threw down the gauntlet with a sub 1 minute 20 second practice run in his monster Evo 7, an average of 10 seconds faster than everyone else.

An overcast sky greeted the drivers as the first timed run session began after lunch. As the drivers started getting ready for their runs, the whole pit area resounded with the roar of exhausts as the powerful 4G63T engines fired up one by one. Lap times began to tumble with Mike holding on to top spot while Andreas, Alzaim and Eva fought hard for 2nd and 3rd placing. In the 3rd and final run, Mike did a lightning fast 1 minute 15.4 seconds run, finishing ahead of Andreas’ 1 minute 20.8 seconds. Alzaim just edged out Eva for 3rd place with a 1 minute 23.4 second run.

Prize presentation was held shortly whereby Fairul from Sunoco and Yoong who was representing www.tyrepac.com.my gave out the trophies and prizes to the podium finishers. It was unfortunate that Motorsport Playground could not be present as they already had prior engagements. Mike was crowned Champion, Andreas was 2nd and Alzaim secured 3rd place. Eva finished 4th while Aizul and Tan were 5th and 6th respectively for the Open Category. It was a lonely race for Shukree as he was the only competitor for the NA Category with a best time of 1 minute 32.4 seconds as the other participants had to pull out due to unforeseen circumstances. With that, the inaugural MLOC Gymkhana Super Series 2010 drew to a close and many members took to the track for a few laps of fun during the open track session.

MLOC would like to take this opportunity to thank Defying Grip for their expertise in the organizing of the gymkhana competition. MLOC would also like to express our deepest gratitude to Sunoco Japan Motorsport, www.tyrepac.com.my and Motorsport Playground for their sponsorship of our event. MLOC also wishes to thank The Star Motoring, ExtremeKars Magazine, Traffic Magazine, Pro Tuners Magazine, On The Road Magazine and www.drift.com.my for the press coverage. Most importantly, MLOC would like to thank all its members for their support of the event. See you all again next year!
