[quote=ed][quote=alvinkhorfire]Hopefully, once Team Malaysia gain enough expertise and financial resources, we can see Alex standing on podium.[/quote]
Did you see how Alex had to scramble down from the podium to get the Jalur Gemilang (seeing the other 2 drivers standing on the podium wrapped with their nation’s flag)?
Bet the M’sian team will have the flag on the ready from now on![/quote]Ed, did you notice that Alex and Team did their best performances in Sepang and now in Sentul. Well, its because they can get their supply of nasi lomak easily in these places…..sure you did’nt have a hand in this?….(grin)

Dude,I’m expanding…going regional,man…! 😀Thanks, Fazz for your support. Alex’s podium has silenced the critics. It is the time we stop pointing our fingers to him and start supporting him, morally and financiallly. The corporate company should start sponsoring Team Malaysia just like Proton. This was Alex said: ” Having Proton on board has made such a difference for the team, as we have been able to concentrate on the racing rather than getting to the next race.”

Not sure either. Quite a number of senior guys in the field. Also one Singaporean.
What is Formula Palmer Audi? This is former F1 driver Jonathan Palmer’s baby, I guess. Not always deemed as a stepping stone series I think.
Formula Palmer Audi
The winning conceptFormula Palmer Audi has earned a superb reputation over the past eight seasons for providing the best value in world motorsport. The stunning performance and sensational look of these single seaters make Formula Palmer Audi the most spectacular and professional show on the national racing scene. For the drivers, the 300bhp Audi turbo engines and huge grip from the composite wings and wide tyres make the exhilaration of driving these cars totally unrivalled. Crucially though, it offers a range of powerful benefits to sponsors providing the most cost effective marketing and promotional opportunity ever offered in motor racing.
All the cars are owned and operated by the Formula Palmer Audi team and prepared to an identical exacting standard, leaving the driver free to turn up on race day with his helmet and overalls ready to race. The circuits for the 2006 Championship have been specifically chosen as they are the ones that drivers love to race on and sponsors want to entertain at. The close racing that is a product of all the cars being prepared to an identical standard, means FPA provides some of the most spectacular racing on circuit and the huge presence of the 22 car team makes it the most professional looking show in the paddock.
Data acquisition and analysis is provided with a team of data engineers available at every race weekend to assist drivers in honing the car and their skills to the demands of the particular circuit. Data comparison with the fastest driver of the session, ensures all drivers have an opportunity to improve their ability during the weekend. With a unique private test facility at Bedford Autodrome, the FPA HQ, there is ample opportunity for testing the car and developing as a driver. FPA’s team of driver coaches, data engineers and technicians will help drivers get the best from both themselves and the machinery. An RAC MSA National A licence or equivalent is all that is required to enter. For drivers new to the sport the FPA team can even help secure the necessary competition licence or help overseas licensed drivers convert to the appropriate UK or international licence.
Designed for drivers of all ages with experience in club racing, the FPA series is ideal for those with a hectic schedule and for whom time is at a premium. We value the achievements of drivers from all backgrounds and therefore there are various additional awards presented at each event to recognise this.
For drivers looking to further their career in motorsport, FPA provides a unique platform to demonstrate their talents on a level playing field. Amongst the many successful ex FPA drivers are Champ Car ace Justin Wilson, Porsche Super up champion, Damien Faulkner, MacLaren test driver and DTM Champion, Gary Paffet, A1 Grand Prix driver, Robbie Kerr and World and European Touring Car champion, Andy Priaulx. More recently 2004 and 2005 McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year nominees Jonathan Kennard and Joe Tandy have both been propelled into the spotlight by winning the FPA championship.
[quote=OSFlanker] Still, he is probably the best Malaysia has for the moment though I think you will find most of the City Karting kart team would beat him hands down in a 125cc kart! Jules, what do you think? I think even Uncle Jules can beat him in a 125cc kart race!!!!![/quote]
Alex is a good driver, just that his background was not karts and hence maybe he is less comfortable with it. OSF, u think too highly of me – I stand no chance as I was profusely reminded of my lack of racing licence, kart prix experience etc etc.
Who I want to see in F1? Our young drivers like Aaron, Calvin Wong, Jazeman and many other hopefuls.
Out of Malaysia – Rossi comes to my mind immediately.
I also wish Wai Leong had a chance too but he is sadly past his prime.
