SEARCH YOUR ENGINES: The first-ever Malaysian Formula One championship doesn't rev up until Oct. 17, but there's a warm-up this coming weekend: the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix, which offers a great excuse to check out the recently opened Sepang F1 Circuit located near the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. If you can't make it to the track in person, try the official website for a virtual visit, including ticket bookings and a complete list of F1 events worldwide.
TOYOTA MEGA WEB

THEME PARKING: Mega Web, Toyota's new automotive amusement park in Tokyo, may not offer the thrills and spills of Formula One, but future Mika Hakkinens can test drive a kid-sized electric car with an automated driving system, while parents can put the pedal to the metal in a real model. Visitors can also design a car using a computer simulation, or take a spin on one of the world's largest ferris wheels. Details--and an online car museum--are on Toyota's Japan website.
