Attention car lovers, if youre hungry for the excitement of the fast and furious, this would be something you wouldn’t want to miss out on! This wont be your usual F1 race which usually happens every year at Sepang because the action happens in the streets of Kuala Lumpur! Presenting KL’s First Street Race happening in the city! From the poster above, you can see that the dates for the big event would be between the 7th until the 9th of August 2015, which is in less than 3 weeks! 


This, as mentioned, would be the first KL City Grand Prix, where you will have the chance to see drivers zip through a 3.2km temporary circuit with 11 turns, along well-known streets which includes Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Ampang,, Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Pinang. Flagging off point would be from KLCC Suria, and its an exciting sight to even miss out on this!

Managed to meet the organizers of the G City Grand Prix and also, the ambassador for the KL City Grand Prix, Alex Yoong who recently brought some media partners around KL to check out the route for the race during the event. And after checking out the routes, its definitely a dream to have the chance to race in such a track in the city. Couldn’t believe that I met Alex Yoong in person, and if you have no idea who Alex Yoong is, then you might not be a car enthusiast.
