From what started off as a hobby during his college days in 2003, Jay Ismail has come a long way to make his mark in the world of photography. After deciding to make his passion his life, he was provided an introduction to the automotive world in 2006 when Paragon Publishing Sdn Bhd appointed him as their Chief Photographer for the ‘Get A Car’ publication, a publication that specializes in cars especially exotic cars. Today, Jay’s hands-on approach to his work ensures the end result translates into his own unique style. His work spans brands such as Bentley Kuala Lumpur and Jaguar Malaysia to the movers and shakers of Malaysia’s entertainment industry such as Dato’ Sheila Majid, Anita Sarawak, Atilia Haron and Ning Baizura.

2000: Super GT

Formerly known as the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC), the Super GT was established in 1993 as Japan’s premier grand touring car race. The race, as famous for its cars as for its sexy race queens, is considered to be the most popular championship in Japan’s motorsports world. The year 2000 marked the first time a Super GT event was ever held outside Japan, with Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit accorded the honour of hosting. The Malaysian race would become a regular fixture in the Super GT championship schedule, where it remains till this day.
