06 June 2009, By SIC

With an average time of 2:40.608, Class 1 Type R Racing team in the car number 21 will be starting the Sepang 1000km (S1K ) race at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) in pole position in.

According to KK Tek, between the three drivers, KK Soh, YC Wong and himself, there’s an accumulated  eight years of experience in entering the Merdeka Millennium Endurance (MME) race that’s helping them to get the pole potition.

“We are confident that we can keep ahead the rest of the teams in the race from what we have experienced in the past,” said Tek.

“We sorted the car’s suspension to suit the tyres very early so we had more time to concentrate on winning the race instead of solving nagging problems.

He added they are not slowing down from their qualifying lap times and going  to maintain an average time of 2:40 throughout the race.

AFOS 2008 – Stunning Eddie Lew Claimed His First ATCS Win

Malaysian driver Eddie Lew took home his first win in Round 2 of the Asian Touring Car Series at Sepang International Circuit today. It was a good clean race in which 18 of the 25 starters completed the 10-lap outing.
