in Johor Bahru preparing for this weekend’s race and
they will be signing autographs on Friday night at 6pm at

will perform across the weekend and there will be colouring

to be held on Saturday and Sunday for the public to test their
driving skills against the clock. Only RM10 per entry, those
with the top three fastest times will take home great prizes.
