Tracks: "But what about Petronas??? WTF can’t afford to sponsor him alone meh" PERT stands for Petronas Eon Racing Team. The team is also sponsored by PROTON. I believe Proton sponsored several million in that period to Karam together with eon and petronas to help him achieve his world championship win. on A1 Team Malaysia, the govt didnt sponsor Alex 1 cent. Proton were the main sponsors for the 1st 2 seasons. for the 3rd season, Proton are again the main sponsor, but this time, jointly with TDC. and to the people who posted their dissatisfaction with alex, please la.. grow up. the team produced fantastic results for the 1st and 2nd season with relatively few sponsors. They out-raced many bigger "racing nations" (japan comes to mind) and finished 5th and 6th overall in the championships. This year, they have so far had 2 bad races, and already some idiots are saying the team is useless.. GROWUP. its only 2 races out of the whole season. and the season just started. firstly, many of you have your facts wrong.

But I can understand the frustration that we all felt. He is one damn good driver and it is sad that he couldn't make it to the world stage in WRC group A and carrying our Jalur Gemilang with it. But to participate in WRC, one needs a big financial support. It's really BIG. How much would a group A/super Rally car would cost these days? Is it RM1-2 millions? And the cost to participate for the whole season? I don't know. 200 millions? 2 billions? I'm sure people will damn the government if they spent that much on a single type of sports. I won't put the blame entirely on the government. Corporate sector should play a bigger role in motorsports industries. More sponsors are needed for any kind of sports, not just Rally. And for Karamjit Singh, he should've take up the offer that he has got from the international teams who can give him the path to the world stage. If he did, he's probably on par with Gronholm, Solberg and Loeb, today. Until then, keep watching. P.s: Paul, do you have any infor/update on FAMRC going into WRC calendar in 2009?

The angkasawan thing is a waste of money, if you guys can suggest to build more race tracks, hospitals which can benefit the rakyat, the why not? Hey no racist statement here but it is the truth. If Kedah can be the hub of producing rice, why have to go to KL and buid new paddy fields? See the point? We don't need to force ourselves to let people know how good we can be but to rather show the world how good Malaysian is. Aiyo why like that, ppl have their own views. I don’t see Motorsport is an “expensive” sports as Petronas can sponsor foreign team. Think again, Karamjit is not the “only” person. Sad but true G gave him up. The angkasawan thing is a waste of money, if you guys can suggest to build more race tracks, hospitals which can benefit the rakyat, the why not?

Hey no racist statement here but it is the truth. If Kedah can be the hub of producing rice, why have to go to KL and buid new paddy fields?

See the point? We don’t need to force ourselves to let people know how good we can be but to rather show the world how good Malaysian is.

Even if gahmen sponsor this guy, will Msians be ok wit it? Motorsports are very expensive, so if gahmen do sponsor him, expect ppl to rant abt "it shud be used to build hospitals, improve schools blabla", "what for champion in rally? such unpopular sport unlike F1 blabla". In other words, gahmen will be damned if they do, damned if they don't. Angkasawan or rally, either way ppl will rant abt the money spent are wasted even if Karamjit turned out to be good. Only ppl wit true passion for rally will sponsor him I guess. There are few of those in Msia, unlike in UK, where passion for motorsport is burning brightly......unless rempit-ism is considered motorsport, that's the oni passion we have, wakakakaka Msia boleh B) Agree wit shaif.

And motorsport that focus on one individual which need millions and govt can't afford to support one person only. Its the people money and need to spend wisely like building a gymnasium, sports program, and focus its financial assistance to many people.Billions spend on sports program in RMK 9, so Govt has done its job. Sports like this need private sector assistance that making millions in our country. Some company has social responsibility that reflected on their donation or financial assistance to sports programmes. But many more don't give a damn about sports especially non-elites sports like this. Thats the rational, not races.

Come on give me a break. How many years did EON support him? What about Alex Yoong? How much did the Govt spend on his Minardi drive? Even after he boo boo that they still sponsored his AI drive... What about the badminton team - most of them are non-bumi...What about Nicole David - her biggest sponsor is CIMB - last time I checked was bumi owned. Some people like to make general statements that just reveals their own prejudices. Non bumi thus no sponsor??

I guess there's no issue of G not sponsoring cos indirectly Petronas, EON and Proton had sponsored PERT since Saga time until its disclosure. And now it is Alex Yoong's A1GP turn. Via Ministry of Tourism and Proton. I beleive rather than sponsoring any particular person maybe G should invest on building racing track for rakyat which I guess will have more impact on us rather than on global level.
