The landmark event turned the mall into a racing arena like no other, with Malaysia’s rising simracing stars battling for glory in front of an electrified crowd.
The crowd erupted during the Unleashed Celebrity Race Showdown, which featured an all-star lineup including Ismail Izzani, Yonnyboii, Kidd Santhe, Zynakal, Leona Chin, Taufiq Hanafi, Nick Syaf, Asyraf Nasir, Lil J, and Killa Driz.

Jeevan Raj Menon, Founder of Cove Circuit, seen standing at the center with the celebrities, said: “Unleashed is more than just one event. It is a brand we are committed to growing. The mix of celebrities, youth, and racing shows how simracing can unite communities and create new opportunities. We already have off-season engagement plans, and you may even see Unleashed Ambassadors introduced soon. This is only the beginning.”
Beyond the celebrity buzz, the championship marked a major step forward for simracing in Malaysia. The campaign reached nearly 4,000 participants across university and mall roadshows in the Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor, proving the appetite for simracing among youth nationwide. From there, 442 simracers competed at Cove Circuit Bandar Sunway and Cyberjaya, with the field narrowing to the top 10 male and top 10 female racers for the grand finale.
