Petronas Street Demo 2013

This is a sponsored post.

Hey what’s happening everyone?

Early Thursday post this week is what’s happening!

So the Sepang F1 race is done and a week before that, PETRONAS Motorsports cooked up a sweet gig by cordoning off some roads around KLCC to make way for their super awesome street demo! High powered motorbikes and cars screamed through the long empty stretches while ear piercing shrieks of their high octane engines roared through the close standing crowds. It was my first ever experience to be up close with such a thing.

Here’s how it kinda went down for me.

Ear plugs. USE THEM!

I was half deaf by the end of the day only because I was a stubborn little nimrod for not putting on my ear plugs.

Apart from the great hospitality area and machines roaring through the streets, there were amazing stunts pulled off by these professionals.

Now this is REAL stunt on bikes. Freaking awesome! I went home and tried it on my tricycle but I crashed and burn like a moron.

Anyway, the street demo was the closest I have ever gotten to powerful racing machines as I have never gone to the official Sepang circuit track before. Maybe I should but this street demo was pretty interesting for a first timer like me.

And for the first time I got the cameraman to have me on their jumbo screen.

I could have taken more effort to have looked more excited in that picture though. Maybe because I was already half deaf by the sheer awesomeness of the high powered engine sounds piercing through my ear drums. Also I was unprepared until the guys beside me started waving.

What a great preview before the 2013 Formula 1™ PETRONAS Malaysia Grand Prix at Sepang Circuit that weekend!

Have a great weekend ahead!
