All Canadian Racing Team Takes On Malaysian Rally Challenge

Hong Kong: The plantations of the Johor area of Malaysia are a long way from the snow covered logging roads of Northern Ontario, but that's not stopping the all Canadian team of Andrew Miller and Robin Fleguel from taking on the racing challenge.

The Mega Motorsport team will be trading in their snow shoes for flip flops (metaphorically speaking) when they head to Malaysia on August 10 th to compete in the 3 round of the Malaysian Rally Championship. With sponsorship from Wowwee – the world leader in robotic entertainment products- Miller and Fleguel hope to make their mark as the First All Canadian team to compete in this part of Asia's growing motorsports scene. Mega Motorsport participates in partnership with local outfit SR Motorsport.

Since moving to Hong Kong 2 years ago to take up an engineering position, driver and team principal Andrew Miller has been itching to get back to Motorsport. "I used to specialize in racing on ice and snow back home. There's none of that here but I'm still looking forward to the challenge!" He adds "I've been to Malaysia several times now, including attending the first round of the championship as an observer. I really like it and honestly it's not that much different than the events back home. The racing is good and the people are friendly, I'm really excited about making this race my first chance to get back in the driver's seat."

Robin Fleguel makes the trip from Canada to participate alongside Andrew in the team's Group N Subaru Impreza. "When Andrew called me up asking if I was interested I didn't hesitate". The two have partnered before, racking up several Canadian Championship Wins.
