By hipzan | May 17, 2009
For the first time since the MSS has been held at SIC, the grandstands will not be accessible throughout the weekend.
To ensure fans are well treated, SIC have opened Paddock Club 3 for the fans.
“Unlike the previous races where fans would have to sit in stands which if the weather is not right would be either very hot or heavy rain, this time they can enjoy the comfort of the paddock club,” said SIC CEO Razlan Razali.
“We also hope we can ensure the fans a full experience by being closer to the pits and the drivers and riders,” he added.
Although, entrance to the paddock is free, there will be a RM50 charge for those who want to get into the pits.
“The MSS is our national series targeted to churn out Malaysian champions. With access granted to the pits, we want to encourage fans to get closer to their heroes,” said Razlan.
Parking fee for cars are priced at RM5 per unit and RM2 for every motorbike.

It was always likely that the rain would affect Sunday’s Malaysian Grand Prix, but nobody expected the precipitation to play such a key role in a race that was full of excitement. The management of pit stops proved crucial as conditions changed and Brawn GP’s Jenson Button won amid much confusion as the race was red flagged after 32 laps.
The conditions had changed again, so in came Button for a third time on lap 31 to go back to the deeply grooved rubber. He resumed in the lead again as Glock battled with BMW Sauber’s Nick Heidfeld for second place, and that was when race director Charlie Whiting decided that it was time for the safety car. A lap later, out went the red flag. Confusion reigned.
Up to that point, the Malaysian Grand Prix had been a gripper.
