But hooligan, no one has forgotten him. i think everyone knows who he is, and what he has achieved, no one can take that away from him. its just unfortunate, corp. malaysia in general, is not all interested in motorsports at the moment. In fact, he has already gone and done whats best for himself, and that is to use his credentials to land himself a drive with foreign backing rather than sit in Malaysia, and try to land a large sponsorship deal here.
my point is, we should all be looking at the bigger picture on malaysian motorsports as a whole, and not just at one driver. I can tell you, there are many people who are working very hard behind the scenes to help grow motorsports in malaysia from the grassroots, but get no recognition, and also make no attempts to gain recognition. These are the people I admire the most. Do you know who they are?
This year, someone, who 2 years ago would never have thought he will be racing in the biggest race in the region, who only until a couple of months ago, was racing in grassroots events in a carpark, was picked, and then given full sponsorship, including testing and training. This driver ended up on the podium in his first race ever, in the largest race in the region.
This is what we need to see more off. Drivers given a chance because of their talent, and not because of who they know, and how much money they have.
