It is good to see new guys climbing up the field and winning, hopefully I am able to keep up’, said Ivan Khong.

Ms. Lee Ai Hoon General Manager for Mazda said, ‘The Mazda cars would be there to add Mazda’s SKYACTIV Technology to the event, we love the sport and happy to see enthusiast take racing in a proper way and away from the streets ‘.

GRA’s series is a 5 round championship with Round 3 happening this weekend. Autocrossing is a time trial event held in large open areas that are lined up with cones to mark a course.
