Set to improve their position in the Malaysian Super Series, Team Sakura-Tedco Racing was ready to tackle any challenges posed ahead of them in Round 4. Fielding two cars once more for this round, main car No.19 is driven by multiple Indonesian Touring Car Champion Fitra Eri, and Malaysian A1 GP driver Aaron Lim. Car No.16 on the other hand is piloted by Chunkie Chandra from Indonesia and seasoned MSS driver Alvaro Mourato from Macau.
Car No.19 had put an impressive show in the qualifying as they managed to qualify 2nd on the grid out of 15 cars, just 0.5 seconds away from the Proton R3 Team sitting in pole position. The sister car also managed to handle themselves well by qualifying 5th in the grid.
As expected, car No.19 managed to defend their position from the start and was hunting a spot in the podium. But unfortunately with only 3 laps left before the checkered flag, an unexpected electrical issue had forced the car to retire.
With car No.16 still running strong, all eyes was glued to it and the team was ecstatic that they managed to cross the finish line in fourth position. Rueben Wong, Team Principal of Tedco Racing is confident that both cars will be up for the challenge posed in the final round of MSS and finish on the podium. “We will be back, more prepared than ever”.
Tedco Racing would like to extend their deepest appreciation to their sponsors of Sakura Racing Filter & ADR Radiators for the support and development of radiators, air filters & oil filters for both cars.
