If you’ve tried to frantically access R3gister and failed, we sincerely apologise for the downtime. We recently moved our webhost to Singapore, and all was well and good until 48 hours ago when the host servers suffered a DDoS attack. All domains hosted by our Singapore host were down. They’ve been working hard to get things up and running with new IPs and new hardware. Bear with us while we also sort things out on our end.

Will be in touch! Cheers and thanks for your patience and support!

Defending champion Daigo Saito of Sparks Achilles Drift Team clinched the Achilles Formula Drift 2011 Malaysia and the overall Drivers’ Champion titles at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur earlier today. Saito drove consistently and flawlessly throughout the competition, humbling the rest of the world-class field. The much-anticipated Final 2 battle against compatriot Manabu Orido, a familiar figure here in Malaysia from his exploits at the Super GT, proved interesting but ultimately one-sided. Drift legend Orido made a rare error as he spun out going into the first clipping point, giving Saito an advantage going into the second run. Saito did not disappoint, although Orido did not make it easy the second time round. Driving aggressively yet with pinpoint accuracy, Saito showed why he also convincingly swept through the Singapore and Indonesian legs earlier this year.

Is this the Proton Saga R3?

Proton-Saga-R3

Is this a Proton Saga R3 prototype? From first impressions it’s got a very familiar front bumper (like the Satria Neo R3 2010) and the R3 Advanti rims from the new Satria Neo R3 2011. Looking pretty fierce don’t you think?

R3 Teh Tarik Session @ Chida TTDI

R3 TT
It’s been a while since I’ve personally attended a R3 TT (yes shameful!) but the recent one held last week, organised by Skellig, was awesome. Old faces, ex-owners, new owners and R3 fans attended the event. Was beautiful to see line of new Satria Neo R3s. There was #006, #034, #062 and #063. Certainly a sight to behold. We’re planning a track day soon, most likely riding on HPC to get new owners a feel for their cars and some track experience. The guys enjoyed the night, we continued till wee hours of the morning.

Fancy a 180bhp Supercharged Satria Neo R3?

Proton Satria Neo R3 Supercharged

Late last year, Proton Motorsports or R3, showcased a saliva-inducing 180bhp turbocharged Satria Neo R3 shocker at KLIMS 2010. Never to be ones to rest on their laurels, they unveiled a supercharged prototype, outputting a yummilicious 180bhp and 200Nm torque, last month. Exterior-wise, the car houses a bodykit similar to last year’s Satria Neo R3 Lotus Racing edition, with a black paint finish, red highlights and gold trimmings. The interior features the contrasty red and black combination, synonymous with previous generation R3 vehicles.

Proton R3 MSS Round 2

The dynamic duo of Faidzil Alang and Syafiq Ali dominated Heat 1 and 2 to finish a double 1-2 for Team Proton R3 in Round 2 of the Malaysian Super Series held at Sepang International Circuit over the weekend. Weather at the track was as unpredictable as ever, scorching in Heat 1 then heavy downpour in Heat 2. Despite the varying conditions, Faidzil in his Satria Neo clinched the top spot after leading from pole position in Heat 1, whilst compatriot Syafiq in his GEN.2 took the top spot in Heat 2. Faidzil was in the lead in Heat 2 before forced to relinquish his lead due to technical problems.

“As always, it’s great for the team to be back on the podium again for round 2.  Race 2 was especially tough for me as a mechanical problem forced me to slow my pace.  Overall, the car and tyres were working very well, but we believe that we can further  improve on it for round 3.”  Faidzil Alang, Driver, Team Proton R3.

A great performance by Team Proton R3. Onward to the next round on July 3, 2011. Go Proton R3!
