Our team is currently busy getting to grips with the mechanical aspects of the car. The mechanics are building the car in the UK right now. They will build, tear it down and buld it again to familiarize themselves with the new car.

The engine you see is the 4.5L 600hp V8 supplied by Ferrari. The tub is built in the UK with consultation from Ferrari.

Oh btw that's Shanker Ramachandran from Penang. One of the race mechanics.

Testing for Team Malaysia is schedules for 9-11 at Donington Park unless that changes. There has been a delay for the planned first race for the season (Mugello, 19-21 September) as some teams won't be getting their cars on time.

Therefore A1GP decided to make the Zandvoort round on 4-5 October as the season opener.

Catch the race either on ESPN or Star Sports. It should be shown live.
