[Guest lightning]

[keltanky]

[Guest blackmercs]

As Mentioned earlier, if u haven't experience anything Like these kind of setup is worth trying. But if u had then don't waste yr time & money. Go & catch a movie instead .

[Guest chiaster]

Wha... The local leg really looks pathetic compared to Sepang! Or maybe we should all just book a half day session at Sepang so that we can take our rides there and unleash their full potentials! I've gone there a few times in the past when I was driving my swift! Haha.

The Sepang Merc Experience will cost your MYR1800 for this year's July whilst the cost for SG's experience IIRC last year's was S$300.

No wonder lah.....

Half day track session at Sepang with transponder is about 200sgd. The Malaysian gig will cost around 750sgd after conversion. Taking full day trvk session to cost 400sgd, the other 350sgd should be for the rest of the frills (instructors, food, jerseys, goodie bags, indemnity etc). Worth it?

yap the Sepang experience drive is the best ever organise by BMW. The instructor are local talents & on the ball too. They make sure u follows their instruction closely & no monkey business. But at that time our team style are "Rules are meant to be broken" & our team name are "initial D" . We had so much fun back then & the rest is history.

As for the Mercs instructor from Australia, they like coming here to kill time & didn't really be bothered how you performance after each circuit or session.

Also, the Mercs experience during the starts of the training already gone wrong. They didn't emphaise on adjusting, sitting posture & driving techniques. These are basic requirements before driving.

Just to share with guys how effective is the training with BMW. I had had near-miss not once but twice & I adopt the training skill and it's works!!

Anyway just go there with an open mind & hv fun!!

Yes, no worries but must not be a PI ya. Call the service center & furnish yr details to them. Then they update you whenever there is future event going on.

Strangely, for my case I m no longer driving a Mercs, they do keep in the loop.
