Hey guys! I'll be in KL for a few days around race weekend. If anyone would like to get together for a drink, please PM me. Also, if anybody is planning on going to Sepang on Sunday, maybe we can see each other at the race. Go BMW Sauber! Cheers.

Hey jcatral, geneatals, and pinguhk! Thanks for the kind words.
FYI: Had a blast at Sepang for the second year now. I took Mrs. CWS530 as well. We stayed at the JW Marriott on Bukit Bintang, so we were really close to all the parties, concerts, fireworks, etc. Kuala Lumpur really does the whole GP weekend up right. I didn't make it to practice on Friday, but did go to the last practice and qualifying on Saturday, and of course, the race on Sunday. They have a great express train and bus transfer package (3 days for $40!) to the track that gets you there in under an hour. It's very professional and organized. KL is one of the cleanest, friendliest, best maintained cities in the world.
Both days I went they had events in Speedcar, Formula BMW Pacific, GP2 Asia, Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, and Formula 1. That's an awful lot of variety and great racing for one ticket. Hearing the F1 cars under heavy engine braking and w/o TC was fantastic. Heidfeld ran a good race overall, but Kubica had almost robotic consistency--never appeared to miss his line, at least from our viewpoint.
Anyway, I will add a few pics to my gallery if you want to have a look (my camera is very limited, however). Unfortunately, I was not contacted by any locals, so I didn't get to see any forum members' rides, but I have to say there were e60s everywhere--far more than 3s or 7s. But, I will go back in about six months, so who knows.
If anyone wants to see a great race in a beautiful location, the Malaysian GP is well worth the trip.
PS: The local paper said next year's event will be a night race!

Hi CWS530,
Apologies for not seeing your post earlier. Would have loved to have met with a fellow e60 lover from the other side of the world. Next time maybe. Glad you enjoyed your F1 trip!
