MotoGP in town at Sepang Circus~!


I always wanted to go and try capture racing pictures. Or motion photograph, in another word. I practiced at Putrajaya a few times before, and it was alright, but not really alright since it wasn't that cool. And to go Sepang F1 circuit, the tickets can be tad expensive, and there's no way I can put up with all the people there.

Last Sunday, to my surprise I was really jumped out to go to Sepang to watch MotoGP. No sentiment here, but actually I never really like racing. Rally is okay, but racing was like...blank. Anyway, for foremost reason for my eagerness being it was my first time there. And it's free, a friend of Farah's friend, Gary, was kind enough to give us free tickets. It really was an opportunity, despite there were a bit problematic, we got there eventually.

It was hot, full of cars getting into, and full of peoples wandered around, and at that time I thought I might regret this. I was glad that Farah wasn't that smug as she used to be in time like this, although she wipe kleenexfull of sweat off her face. Being optimist, we barged in and walk around, posed with some cool looking bike, but not enough to get us cool.

Not long after we wandered around, the emcee annouced that a freestyle riding will be on. Really wanted to go to watch race instead of a guy pulling crazy bike skills, I kind of hesitated but we went to watch it anyway. A Portugal dude went out and rode his bike like it was nothing, like monkey on a circus bicycle. And to my surprise, the gig was the best motion photograph I ever had, like this one. With that, I decided to spend more time with Farah. Nothing to lose.
