Daily Sportscar broke the news last night that a two car Malaysian Le Mans project is planned for 2009. The driving forces behind this programme are Jack Cunningham and Alex Yoong (Malaysian A1GP partners).
Briefly:
- Malysian built LMP1
- 2 cars, one all Malaysian driver line-up and one international
- Hoping to bring Proton Cars along with other Malaysian A1GP sponsors on board
Alex Yoong's RFH drive in 2006 was the first stage of their planning, and Alex plus three of their A1GP engineers supported the Charouz Le Mans effort this year. Jack Cunningham expects their A1GP crew to be even more involved with Charouz Racing in 2008 and in greater numbers.
Potentially, a very exciting new project!
