For every motorsport fan, the dream of experiencing the heart-thumping, adrenaline-pumping sensation of being in a race car is now within reach. Fast Racing Asia is making this dream a reality with their exhilarating taxi rides and racer development programmes during track days at the legendary Sepang International Circuit.
Track days at Sepang happen as frequently as once a month, where various racing teams rent the circuit to test their race cars and fine-tune their drivers before competitive events. This is when Fast Racing Asia steps in, offering everyday enthusiasts the chance to strap in and experience the sheer intensity of a proper race car blasting around one of the toughest circuits in motorsport history.
Recently, we had the honour of taking part in this electrifying experience – and let us tell you, it is worth every single penny!
Strapped In for the Ride of a Lifetime
Our taxi ride was in Fast Racing Asia’s formidable Honda Accord CL7R – a factory-built racing machine powered by a ferocious K20 Honda racing engine pushing an impressive 300 horsepower. Behind the wheel was none other than Dinesh Thayalan, the owner of Fast Racing Asia and an experienced racer in his own right.
The experience begins the moment you step into the paddock. You’re welcomed by the team and introduced to the beast you’re about to ride in. As an added bonus, you get to wander through the paddock area, soaking in the sights and sounds of other racing teams prepping their high-performance machines – an up-close look into the world of professional motorsport.
Once the car is ready, the team ensures you’re securely strapped in, triple-checking your safety before the beast roars to life. And then – it’s game on.
The Ultimate Adrenaline Rush
From the very second the car exits the pit lane, your heart rate skyrockets. The sheer force of acceleration pins you to the seat, and every sharp turn around the circuit gives you a taste of the immense G-forces race drivers endure.
The sound of the roaring engine, the heat radiating through your soles, the lightning-fast reactions of the driver – it all combines into an overwhelming, pulse-pounding experience that words can barely describe.
We were fortunate enough to experience seven blistering laps with Dinesh at the wheel, each one showcasing the razor-sharp precision and insane reflexes required to master the track. It was a ride that left us breathless and in complete awe of what it takes to be a true racer.
For any motorsport enthusiast or adrenaline junkie, this is an unmissable experience. Fast Racing Asia’s track day taxi rides deliver an authentic taste of racing like never before – an opportunity to live the dream, even if just for a few laps. So if you’re craving the ultimate thrill, strap in and let Fast Racing Asia take you on the ride of your life!
