After the first Pitwalk session, I head back up to the Media Centre to cool down. Hot day and hot girls. 
With about 30 mins of rest, it was time to head out for Qualifying 1 and 2.

#47. Fellow photographer in action.

After Qualifying 1 & 2, it was back to the pitlane for the Kids Pitwalkabout. It's mainly for parents to drag their kids along while they oogle at the race queens because most kids looked lost that day.
My two ex-classmate told me that next year they are going to rent a kid and attend the evening kids walkabout as a gay couple with adopted kid! WahahahahA!!
The Kids Pit Walkabout is also the best time to get good photos of the racequeens. Much lesser crowd and fewer photographers (most cabut home after Qualifying). You have more room to play with.
I myself took out my 85mm f1.8 and went to town
#50. Some of the queens wore t-shirts to be modest to the kids. The Tigers did not.
#51. Intimate snuggling moment between race queens. :wink:
#52. Bibendum again made an appearance.
#53.

It was then time to head back to the Media Centre, go through my tons of pictures, choose and edit some of them before passing it to the others.
By the time we finished, it was almost 11pm. Tomorrow was another day and I had to recover quickly as we were needed at the track by 8am.
Sunday next...to be continued....

After spending some time behind the paddock, I went up to Media Centre to top up my water, empty memory cards and prepare for the races of the day.
First up was GT4 Asia Cup.
#71.
#72.
#73. The sexy Aston Martin V8 Vantage N24.
As soon as the cars got off the grid I was tasked to follow the AFOS girls back to their place and take photos along the way.
#74. All six of them....between containers

Bus Driver: "EEEEeeeeppp...!!!"
#78. Everyone on the bus including this photographer: "Waaahhh....!!!"

Got off the bus at the end of Circuit Safari, legs shaking and had to compose myself before heading for the final Pitwalkabout session of the weekend.
#82. The last pitwalkabout.

#97.
#98.
#99.
#100. Being a Super GT race queen is a very hot job, especially here in Malaysia.
