Petronas Syntium Team on the verge of fourth consecutive Super Taikyu championship title, aiming for win at Motegi

We haven’t really followed Petronas Syntium Team’s progress in Japan, but nothing has changed apparently – they are still dominating the championship! Fresh from a 1-2 finish at the previous round of the 2011 Super Taikyu Series, PST is looking to repeat the same result in the next leg and clinch its fourth consecutive Super Taikyu championship.

To be held on the Twin Ring Motegi Super Speed Way and International Circuit, it will be an intensive weekend as two rounds of the Super Taikyu will happen, due to a postponement of an earlier round when the earthquake/tsunami disaster struck. Drivers will first compete in Round 5 in the Motegi Super Taikyu Oval Battle (two races of 50 laps each) across the 1.5-mile Motegi Super Speed Way. Next up is the Motegi Super Taikyu Final with a 300 km endurance race on the 4.8 km Motegi road course.

Having secured four wins in the ST-1 Class this season, PST’s BMW Z4M Coupe (Car No.1) is looking good to seal the championship title should things go according to plan. Helmed by the winning combination of renowned Japanese drivers Masataka Yanagida and Nobuteru Taniguchi, as well as PST-homegrown driver Dominic Ang, they are sure to get a good fight from teammates in the sister Z4M (Car No.28).

“The team has worked hard to come this far and we are con dent of securing the 2011 title, achieving our fourth Super Taikyu championship title. I am very proud of the drivers and the crew from PST and there is nothing sweeter than success after all that hard work and great effort,” said Team Principal David Wong.
