NST, 1/4/2008

LIM Leong Onn and Kamarul Anuar Mohd Razzali completed a winning weekend for the Perodua M5 Racing in Round One of the Malaysian Rally Championship in Bahau, Negri Sembilan yesterday.

It was a historic first ever win for the Perodua Viva which debuted last season steered by the veteran duo of Leong Onn and Kamarul.

They finished seven minutes ahead of defending champions Karamjit Singh and Jagdev Singh on board a rented Proton Satria which Karamjit claimed lacked power and traction.

Perodua M5 Racing Team also completed the weekend with three cars in the top five with Kan Chee Hong-Bernard Chin and P. Nanda Kumar-Suresh Parkash Sharma bringing home the two Perodua Myvis in third and fourth respectively.

"This is our best result so far. Usually we are happy to have two cars finishing but this time all three are in the top five," said Perodua M5 Racing Team manager Gary Chua.

The team's four-wheel drive Perodua Viva Turbo behaved perfectly in the hands of Leong Onn and stayed five minutes clear of the strong challenge by Karamjit.
