    Due to external factors I cannot make it to the German GP or the TT in June, so had to cancel that. June is a difficult time.

    On the plus side I can go to Kuala Lumpur for the Malaysian GP at Sepang in late October early November. Flight paid for on Malaysian Airlines, which seems reasonable, and the hotel in down town Kuala Lumpur also seems very very reasonable.

    Game on, going to Sepang - the idea of going to all of the MotoGP circuits means having to get on a plane sooner or later, can't ride to all of them on my bike.

    Not a massively expensive trip......

    Booyakasha :D

    7 times ! wow.

    I got the "Premier Roving" grandstand ticket - seems there is no specific seat allocation, just find somewhere within the grandstands to sit. Booked into Ibis hotel in city centre, so got to look at getting from there to the track and back.

    I reckon it is a class circuit, but if you have any recommendations I would be pleased to hear them - whenever you have time ....

    Thanks Glenn

    Really useful, thanks. I would appreciate the number of the taxi. All I have so far is a Lonely Planet Malaysia and the separate Kuala Lumpur LP travel guide.

    I will be arriving on the Monday before race weekend and leaving the Monday after race day.

    I have just upgraded my camera to a Panasonic G9 and I hope to do the tourist thing - take some nice pictures - that is the basic plan.

    Good luck with your testing - whatever it is you will be testing - give it some beanage :D

    Very interested to hear anything about the trip
