Sepang 1000KM race

Winners on the podium

SEPANG, 4 September 2016 – Malaysia’s Drift King, Tengku Djan Ley Tengku Mahaleel led a combination team of professional and celebrity drivers to win the 2016 edition of the Sepang 1000 Kilometres Endurance Race at Sepang International Circuit (SIC) on Saturday night to earn his second overall crown.

Sharing the driving duties with Malaysia’s top racer Keifli Othman and celebrities Zizan Razak and lady driver Faye Kusairi, the quartet from Mayhem-FX Tune Racing completed the 181-lap battle around the 5.543km Formula 1 track in 8 hours 31 minutes 35.819 seconds in their Proton Suprima S machine.

However, it was a race till the end between the two leading teams with Mayhem-FX Tune Racing, which had Proton R3 Motorsports as its Technical Partner, finishing a lap ahead of the defending champion Honda Malaysia Racing Team (HMRT)’s partnership of former Malaysian A1GP driver Aaron Lim and Farriz Fauzy in a Honda Jazz.

In winning the 2016 race, Tengku Djan Ley, who won the title with Syafiq Ali and Proton R3 Motorsports in 2014, denied HMRT’s quest for a hat trick. HMRT had won the title in 2015 and 2013. The seasoned partnership of Desmond Yee and Winson Eu in a Proton Satria Neo took third place for N1 Racing Team, completing four laps behind the winner.

Commenting on their victory, Keifli said it was a bonus as the team did not expect to be on top of the podium. “We are very happy. We actually did not expect to win. It was a bonus, and sincerely, I am speechless. Today, the car simply was perfect and I would like to congratulate and thank each and every member of the crew for preparing a superb race car. We did not have any problems at all and everything just went smoothly,” said Keifli, who won the crown for the first time.

Meanwhile, Aaron said he was happy to finish second behind Tengku Djan Ley and team. “We are happy as we did what we could do. We pushed all the way and tried to get as close as possible. But Djan and his team were just out of reach. We hope to come back stronger next year,” said Aaron, who also hopes to compete in the Sepang 12-Hours in December.

Echoing his teammate’s sentiments, Farriz said they had both pushed the machine to limit. “I would like to congratulate Djan and his team for their awesome performance. We tried to get close, but they managed to continue to stay ahead. We just did not have the speed today and were always a few seconds behind,” said Farriz.

Team Dream Chaser, which won last year’s Independent Cup – took a commendable fourth place with the partnership of Frenchman Jean Charles Dahout, Ong Chee Yong and Lim Yeh Siang, completing 173 laps in their Proton Satria Neo.

This year’s Independent Cup was won by an all-Singaporean team of Gerald Tan, Hong Tsui and Shawn Peh, which finished fifth overall with 171 laps in their Suzuki Swift machine.

Flagged off by Malaysian Motorsports Commission chairma Tan Sri Mohammed Azman Yahya at 100pm, the pre-race favourite Sakura Tedco Racing was seen maximising its pole position to take charge in the early stages.

The Indo-Malaysian partnership of Fitra Eri and Mark Darwin, however, effectively lost any chance of winning their first ever S1K crown after their Proton Prevé machine encountered problems with its power steering system and wheel alignment on Lap 25, forcing an early pit stop which lasted more than 45 minutes to repair the damage.

That handed the advantage to Honda Malaysia Racing Team and Mayhem-FX Tune Racing Team, which had started from second and third on the grid respectively, allowing them to take control of the battle as they exchanged leads to continue the race down to its exciting finish.

Spurred by their motto #RefuseToLose, the Sakura Tedco Racing partnership bounced back from their setback in spirited style to finish 12th overall with 121 laps completed – 20 laps fewer than the victorious Mayhem-FX Tune Racing team.

Come on Higuain

2013-07-07T22:16:00.003-07:00

One of the most intriguing clubs during every summer transfer window is always Arsenal.

The Gunners' most recent success (or lack thereof) depends on your expectations. They've qualified for the Champions League in each of the past eight seasons yet have failed to bring a trophy back to the Emirates.

For a squad that is pretty much the epitome of "on the brink," the transfer window is incredibly key.
But Arsene Wenger is often characterized as frugal, opting rather to run a successful business and develop talent than overpaying for it.

Will that once again hold true this July?

Arsenal: Van's the man again as captain nets double in late win

2012-03-03T18:28:00.001-08:00

The ball was lofted over the back four with a deftness of touch from Alex Song that was quite exquisite.

So soft was the touch that it hung in the air for what seemed an extra second as Robin van Persie sprinted clear of Jamie Carragher and Martin Kelly. And as it fell for the Arsenal striker, you sensed that here was the match-winning moment, two minutes into injury-time.

No matter that the angle was impossibly tight, that he was faced by a goalkeeper of Pepe Reina’s quality. Van Persie is unstoppable in these situations and so it proved.
Once again it was necessary to invoke Marco van Basten to convey the quality of the finish. Somehow the left-foot volley, struck first time, flew in at the near post and as Arsenal cavorted in celebration, Liverpool were left incredulous. Yet Van Persie still did not deserve to be man of the match.
That honour belonged to Wojciech Szczesny, for whom this represented a near perfect display of goalkeeping as he kept his side in the game in the long periods when they were dominated by Liverpool.

‘If I was in the position of Liverpool it would be hard for me to take,’ said Arsene Wenger afterwards. Kenny Dalglish contented himself with: ‘The scoreline does not reflect the game. The result was the only disappointing thing about today because it was an unbelievable performance.’

Yet there it is. Arsenal take the three points and seemingly end Liverpool’s Champions League ambitions as well as moving to within four points of Tottenham in third, a team they trailed by 10 points — and two goals — less than a week ago.

A miracle against AC Milan on Tuesday seems implausible but in this turbulent season, nothing is impossible.

And though Szczesny and Van Persie were outstanding, this should actually read as a critique of how far Arsenal have fallen.
Song can be excused after his later contribution but the midfield trio of him, Mikel Arteta and Tomas Rosicky were so wasteful in possession that it was at times embarrassing to behold.

Yossi Benayoun, after his inspirational display last weekend, returned to anonymity while Kieran Gibbs, though left exposed by Benayoun, was defensively deficient. In fact, Arsenal resorted to long balls, which they invariably lost, more times than Wenger will care to remember.

Things improved after Arteta left with what looked a serious neck injury, though his replacement Abou Diaby was withdrawn after less than 30 minutes with a recurrence of his hamstring injury.

As for Liverpool, they were excellent in all areas except their finishing and those two moments when Van Persie found himself free. But as Dalglish pointed out: ‘We could have allowed him those two moments (and still won) with the opportunities we had.’
The litany of missed chances began with the 18th-minute penalty, in which Suarez deserves credit for the superb one-two he played with Dirk Kuyt, but less for the theatrical dive he performed as Szczesny raced out to block him.

So quickly did it happen that referee Mark Halsey could not be faulted but it was a carbon copy of the unjust penalty Szczesny conceded to Gareth Bale last Sunday. No matter. The Pole produced a superb save, diving to his right to block Kuyt.

Then, astonishingly, as the rebound fell kindly for Kuyt, Szczesny recovered to dive to his left and save what seemed a certain goal. When Liverpool’s goal did come, it had a degree of calamity about it, Laurent Koscielny inexplicably turning in Jordan Henderson’s cross on 23 minutes.

Another superb save followed from a Henderson strike on 25 minutes and Suarez hit the post from the rebound but, having contributed so little, Arsenal were level on 31 minutes.

Sagna swung in a hopeful cross and Jamie Carragher allowed Van Persie to get in behind him and head home. The Liverpool onslaught resumed. Suarez’s finest moment came on 40 minutes, when he turned Thomas Vermaelen, beat Sagna and Koscielny to wriggle through on goal, only to be denied at point-blank range by Szczesny again.

And as half-time approached, Kuyt slid in for a Charlie Adam cross and hit the post before Gibbs cleared. Szczesny had to dive at the feet of Martin Kelly on the hour before the Liverpool right-back spoiled an excellent afternoon’s work by missing the simplest chance on 70 minutes from three yards out.

Arsenal were not without potency, notably on 72 minutes when Song and Gibbs set up Theo Walcott, with Reina saving the deflected shot well. Walcott did less well with a soft header on 79 minutes.

Still, one man is certain to score for Arsenal these days and maybe they were simply waiting for the ball to drop for him. For when it did in that 92nd minute, there was little doubt about the conclusion.

Supernatural Season 7: Misha Collins to return as Lord Castiel

2011-05-31T00:44:00.000-07:00

In case there was any doubt remaining -- yes, Supernatural fans, our favorite feathery friend will be back for Season 7. Along with Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, The CW lists Misha Collins as a series regular for the upcoming season. Though Collins was listed in The CW's press release, TVLine reports that he is not listed as a regular in Season 7. He will, however, return in some capacity.

He's not the little angel on Dean's shoulder anymore, though. Now that he's absorbed all of the souls in Purgatory, Castiel is officially a God. We're not sure whether he's the one and only, or if there's still another God hiding out somewhere... perhaps looking something like Chuck? What we do know is that for now, Castiel expects Sam and Dean to treat him a little differently.

"I'm your new God," he said coldly. "A better one. so you will bow down and profess your love unto me, your lord, or I shall destroy you."

We don't doubt it, either. Though Castiel ultimately beat Raphael, he kept Crowley around, making ominous threats about plans for him. He also proved his ruthessness in the episode when he nearly turned Sam into a vegetable in his quest for the ultimate power. Dean isn't likely to forgive Castiel for that move any time soon, and it's clear that Sam still has a lot of healing to do before he gets his bearings back.

One thing is for sure -- Castiel has changed, big time. We spoke with E.P. Ben Edlund recently, and he told us that the decision to "turn" Cas wasn't an easy one. "I had my hesitations," he admits, "because I like the fish-out-of-water, dumb jokes, and I like Cas. I like the thing on camera that Misha created that complemented this new strain of creature, this angel coming into our world and gave a body and character to it. That's a really great thing. But one of the rules of 'Supernatural' is loss, and losing things. You have to love something before you can feel its loss."

Showrunner Sera Gamble tells TV Line that though Collins is a regular, Castiel's role in the story was never intended to be as constant as Sam's and Dean's. "When it comes to 'Supernatural,' our philosophy is that everyone moves in and out and weaves in and out of the story, obviously with the exception of Sam and Dean," she says. "We love Misha. We love and adore the character of Castiel. His character developed to this extent and went in this unexpected direction because we were so inspired by him."

Malaysia vs Arsenal – Arsenal Asia Tour 2011

Finally, I can watch my favorite team in action live. It will be held on July 13, 2011, Wednesday, 8:45 pm at Bukit Jalil Stadium. Of course I would never miss this. I've already get the tickets to watch the match.

Really can not wait to watch the Arsenal players in action. Malaysia is also a great team. After winning the Suzuki Cup, they still maintain the momentum. It is expected that Arsenal will face a team which is quite competitive. No matter what people say, we just wait and see.
