The CarTell Track Attack Volume 2 concluded just before the stroke of midnight on 27 May 2023 at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) with plenty of cars bettering last year’s fastest lap at the inaugural Track Attack event.

Volume 2 of the open track day organised by Carlist.my was flagged off at 4pm and the action never relented from the 100 participating cars.

Once the brake dust had settled and the scent of burning clutches were nowhere to be whiffed in the paddock, top honours went to a HKS-tuned Nissan GT-R R35 piloted by Firhat Mokhzani with a blistering lap of 2:14:889.

However, this GT-R is no purpose-built track toy and remains very much a streetcar as it retains a full interior and air-conditioning. In fact, it was driven to SIC as well as back home and not brought in on a flatbed. This makes it one of the fastest streetcars in the country.

The car was built and developed by HKS Performance Dealer of Garage R, ATS Automobile. You’ve probably seen their shop surrounded by GT-Rs in the Jalan Horsepower area of Sunway.

The fastest car of the night. It was so quick we could only catch in the pits.

Some of the choice components fitted on Firhat’s GT-R include the following:

  • HKS GT900 turbo kit
  • HKS pistons / rods / camshafts (3.8-litre)
  • HKS Hipermax SP coilovers
  • Dodson Sportsman clutch pack
  • Albin gears
  • Cobb Tuning
  • Brembo monoblock calipers with Dixcel rotors
  • Modified HKS Kansai wing

Aside from the on-track action, CarTell has partnered up with Velocity Motor Show to host a massive car festival at the North Paddock area that housed a modified car show, car audio competition and lifestyle exhibitions from partners.

For comparison’s sake, the fastest lap from the first edition of Track Attack was a 2:22 posted by a fiery red Honda Civic FK8R specifically tuned for Sepang duties.

“Better late than never.” Some despise it, others begrudgingly agree with it but he swears by it… much to the chagrin of everyone around him. That unfortunately stems from all of his project cars not running most of the time, which in turn is testament to his questionable decision-making skills in life. A culmination of many wrongs fortunately making a right; much like his project cars on the rare occasions they run, he’s still trying to figure out if another project car is the way to go.
