WIRA RULES IN THE WET AT MALAYSIAN SUPER SERIES
Taking advantage of a wet track, Wira Dani Daim and his superlight Radical SR3 clocked the fastest time in qualifying at the Malaysian Super Series to take pole position for tomorrow’s opening Supercar Championship race in Sepang tomorrow.
Clocking a time of 1 minute 17.541 seconds around the 2.706-km Sepang Circuit North Track, Wira, however, is expected to face a mountaneous task in fending off the challenge of defending champion Dilantha Malagamuwa for tomorrow’s race.
The Supercar defending champion clocked a superfast time of 1 minute 09.225 seconds in the morning free practice in his Porsche 996 machine whose speed was obviously cut down by the afternoon drizzle and the wet track during qualifying.
It was a similar case for Supersaloon favourite Eddie Lew, who had the fastest time in practice; but had to be contended with the fourth fastest time among the 2000cc machines in the Supersaloon Championship.
Wong Yew Choong of Superture Racing was fastest in his Honda Integra DC2 among the Supersaloon drivers with a time of 1 minute 21.759 seconds.
Defending champion K. Perajun was fastest among the sub-1000cc machines in the Supercompact Championship, clocking a time of 1 minute 24.291 seconds while the battle among the 1600 runners in the Supersixteen Championship was ruled by Ian Lee in his Honda Civic EK machine.
