MotoGP Sepang Test 2012

The premier class of 1000cc superbikes in action for the official test in Sepang F1 Circuit, Malaysia from 31 Jan to 2 Feb 2012.

Shukri, a photography friend and the sifu of fast-moving objects (F1 cars, superbikes, fighter-jets, etc), was there to capture the season opening test at Sepang F1 Circuit.

The celebrities in superbikes were all there: Casey Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi, Dani Pedrosa, etc.

The manufacturers of superbikes participating in this test event were Honda, Yamaha, Ducati (Suziki and Kawasaki did not participate).

 Casey Stoner completed the season opening Sepang test in record-breaking fashion. The defending MotoGP champion piloted his RC213V to the fastest ever lap on the Malaysian circuit, his 1’59.607 time the first under the two minute mark (extract from internet).

MotoGP Sepang 2011 (3)

A tragic accident happened on the actual race day - Sunday, 23 October 2011. Italian motorcyclist Marco Simoncelli died in a horrific crash at the MotoGP race in Sepang F1 Circuit, Malaysia. The 24-year-old was flung from his bike and skidded across the track, before apparently being hit by competitors Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi.

The race was stopped on lap two. The spectators were unknown of the tragic accident and kept waiting for almost one hour. Finally, the organizer confirmed the death and the race was cancelled.
