I would like to take this opportunity to thank to all our sponsors and partners who have made it possible for the team to move forward. Thank you to Pulzar Malaysia, Bandi Sprayworks, Fawster, Wuerth Malaysia, Tie Jie Garage & EZ Group. Without them, it is impossible for us to be where we are today. To all drivers and crew, good luck and all the best.
Aliff Azreel – Estrada Motorsport, Team Manager
“We will continue to put the same passion and commitment, for achieving ambitious results. Behind us, we have a strong support from our technical partners who we believe will help us to develop not only our race car but also our driver.
As we know every year will be a different game. As for us, every year we have new target and new achievements to unlock. For me, we can’t achieve our target if we do the same. We need to do the very best thing to unlock new achievements.
For the Proton Saga and Toyota Starlet, both cars are ready to fight in their respective category. Based on last year performance, we are positive that we can finish our race on the podium and it was proven before.
There is still a lot of preparation work to be done for the Honda Jazz. It will be very tricky for us as the same car will compete in MSF & MCS. Nevertheless, we will work hard to unlock the potential of this car.
#969 Fadhlan Hilmi – Driver Toyota Starlet, Street Tuned Category
Fadhlan has been struggling few times last year with the car. One after another problem arise during the season. However, he still managed to finish on podium in some races. This has proven his fighting spirit for to achieve good result.
“What we will bring from last year is that we had top 5 podium, more physical training for the driver as well as changes to the car. So, we hope to fight for top position of the Malaysian Speed Festival in Street Tuned Category this season. We feel well prepared and the whole team is in to fight for a good result. The goal for 2020 is to finish at least in top three overall championship and to further develop our car, team and myself as a driver, to be as great as possible. We don’t have to show anything to anyone, we will do our job as best as we can, and then we see what the end result will be. I’m really glad that I’m still part of the team”.
#819 Sharina Ramlle – Driver Proton Saga, Saga Cup Intermediate Category (MSF) & S-Production 2 Category (MCS)
Sharina Ramlle proves that in racing gender doesn’t count. She finished several time on podium even has to fight with male driver, finishing 3rd overall championship in Saga Cup Category in 2019.
“This year will be a new challenge for me as I will be competing in different category of Saga Cup. Finishing 3rd overall in Saga Cup Casual really a good result for me. I hope my achievement may inspire other female to involve in racing as well. It is equal opportunity in racing, it is up to us to take the challenge. Even I have to fight in new category this year, my aim is always to finish on podium and be in top 3 of the overall championship.
I would like to thanks to my team as well for naming me as a driver to compete in Malaysia Championship Series. I have taught before about competing in this series, but never cross my mind it will be this fast. Looking forward for a new challenge, wish me luck!”
#619 Azwan Zulkifle – Driver Honda Jazz, Super Production Category (MSF) & S-Production 2 Category (MCS)
“It will be very tricky for me this year driving the Honda Jazz. Competing in 2 different race series using the same car has its limitations. We have to comply to both regulations, which restricted us to upgrade the car to the maximum. We will keep fighting, improving last year result and my driving skills. Putting aside overall championship position, my approach this year will be focusing on race-by-race result.”
