The GSR-Pennzoil Racing Team begins its 2009 campaign at tomorrow’s MAM RallySprint at the Sepang International Circuit car park.
The team will be introducing four drivers via its Junior Team Programme; Mohd Shazly Sallehudin, A.Magendran, Kenneth Koh.
Team manager and UMW Pennzoil Distributors Marketing Manager Shamsul Nahar said the team has kept up to its promise of developing young drivers, thereby contributing to the development of motorsports in the country.
The team will be defending all its titles won last year. However, it is better prepared this time around, having secured the overall and team titles for 2008.
"Having done so well in rallying, Pennzoil is undoubtedly a high quality engine oil, which can withstand all kinds of rough conditions," Shamsul added.
The Motorsport Association of Malaysia (MAM) and UMW Pennzoil Distributors have teamed up again to revive and make motorsports a popular sport once more, and also to produce more newcomers into the sport.
MAM chief executive Mia Sharizman said, "This is the first event of the year for MAM, and as promised, we are doing the second phase of development for the sport of rallying.
"With the establishment of more budget-friendly weekend events in line for this year, we will entice more people to be involved in rallying. It will provide a platform for enthusiasts to move from Rally X and it also serves as a feeder for the Malaysian Rally Championships," he added.
