Rally Sweden

The Swedish Rally for the WRC 2012 took place between 9th to 12th February 2012 in North Varmland. We went to see the races in the woods on 11th February 2012 and it was very different to Formula racing. The track was completely covered with snow and the drivers did an amazing job to stay in the track and race.

Ice Hockey

Ice Hocky very special for the Swedes. I went to see the Ice Hocky game between the teams from Gothenburg and Karlstad (FBK) on 2nd February 2012 at the Löfbergs Lila Arena.

Skiing

Just like Ice Skating, Skiing was something new for me. Again I was only watching people Skiing and watching them was fun. Swedish kids are real pros in Skiing; there were some amazing Snowboarders too :)

Ice Skating

Winter is something new for me; I've seen winter activities on TV but have never experienced any of this before.

Ice Skating on the frozen lakes in Sweden was fun and it was a brand new experience although I didn't quite get how to do Ice Skating properly.

Colombo Night Races - 2011

For the first time in Colombo, the official Night Races happened at 17th December 2011. The main event people were waiting for was the Super Car event which Dilantha Malagamuwa was participating, however the most exciting event was the evermore competitive SL-GT event packed with Evos and Subaru cars.

RedBull Air Show

RedBull has organized an Air Show on 3rd December 2011 at Unawatuna. From Colombo it's over 100km away and earlier it used to take over 3 hours to travel down south, but now thanks to the newly opened Southern Expressway we were there within an hour.

Luckily the weather was all good for the Air Show and everything went well.
