This was the 4th year Shaun participate in the endurance race. But this year bit different from previous year, this year Bridgestone join with Proton R3.

As you age you tend to avoid the sun as much as possible, but this particular day I can't avoid the sun as I need to be there for my husband. Banana Boat SPF50 and Nivea Sun Protector SPF50 was my 2 most important cream for the day to protect me from the evil sun.

Back to the track, race begins at 12pm and the 1st driver was James Veerapen. Each driver need to be on the track for 75min.



Shaun 3rd driver.

Getting ready for car to pit in.

Getting ready to jump into the car. GO! GO!GO!

For endurance race it not about how fast you can go, it all about how realiability your car. why? Well the car need to be on the track for like 9 hrs non stop full speed. Many cars was out after 6 to 7 hrs because car over heat. But luckily for our Gen 2 it was all the way without any over heating. Position maintaining at 3 and 4. In the end , we manage to climb to position 2. YES!!!!!!!

Thanks to 3 drivers and a magnificent team.
