Team Proton R3 will be looking to end 2014 on a high with a good result at the Sepang 1,000 km (S1K) Endurance Race this weekend. The factory-backed team finished second in the Malaysian Touring Car category in the 2014 Malaysian Super Series championship.
Proton R3 will once again run their Suprima S and Preve race cars. The sedan (No.12) will be driven by the pairing of Tengku Djan Ley and Syafiq Ali. The Suprima S (No.11) will be piloted by James Veerapen and newcomer Tengku Ezan Ley.
The latter previously drove for defending S1K champions Honda Malaysia Racing Team. As revealed earlier, HMRT will be fielding three cars this year – the new City and Jazz, plus last year’s second-gen Jazz.
This year’s S1K is the fifth edition of the annual endurance race. It will feature flat-out racing for 1,000 km around the 5.543 km Formula 1 circuit with pit-stops and driver changes adding to the drama. The race attracts competitors from Australia, Thailand and Indonesia.
We recently had a very memorable ride in the Suprima S race car – read our man’s musings here.

Buat kereta nak jual dan dapat untung hasil bagi pada rakyat bukan main racing jaguh kampong , nak tunjuk pada rakyat cara pemanduan yg laju lagi aggresif. Proton tak betul.
Semua jenama kereta buat macam tu. Kalau Proton menang dapat la masuk pertandingan antarabangsa. Mana tau dapat no1. Kalau tak pon negara luar dapat tahu kehebatan Proton. Ini salah satu cara untuk memasarkan keretanya ke luar negara. Cheers :)
Syiok Sendiri
Bila proton je semua tak betul
Bila japs, celup, conti semua betul
Ptuih
Patutlah Toyota tak syiok, tak layak bertanding
Yes, Toyota tak syiok but why Lotus use Toyota engine, not Campro engine? Campro dari Proton tak layak masuk kereta Lotus? Haha
tu salah satu aktiviti division r3 proton. melalui racing la division r3 dpt buat RnD spec racing. ni cth otak sempit n kuno. cuba tgk company kereta lain seluruh dunia, mesti ade division RnD untuk racing. menda ni normal la. perodua xbuat sbb dorg mana ada division RnD racing. model pun duk celup dari jepun. poyo je lebih.
Racing buat apa? Quality tak baik tidak dibaiki mahu compare dengan kereta lain seluruh dunia? Kereta lain ada quality baru masuk racing, bukan main jaguh kampung. RnD quality baru RnD racing
OOO Audi VW DSG problem tp still masuk racing la bodo!
Nape tiba2 ckp Audi VW?
Have you seen any VW or Audi break down while racing?
Dude, VW had claimed that all the DSG issues have been resolved. Why cannot participate for the racing competition?
Eh Bro, Mane ade org gune orginal parts utk racing pny, die org mesti dah tukar parts tu la. mesti tukar parts yg lbh baik pny.. xmungkin proton gune cvt pg racing kan..
DSG issue only affected those models which is using DQ200 gearbox. Nobody will choose those models for racing. If for racing, they will go for a VW R8 or Golf GTI.
You are the only bodo one here
Jika macam tu, Proton ada quality dah, jadi boleh dapat masuk racing. sekarang tak nampak Toyota kat racing, maksudnya Toyota tak ada quality betul tak?
Proton masuk racing means ada quality? No, you wrong. It means they have jaguh kampung attitude. You tak nampak Toyota racing means the engine is in Lotus racing car, which can smoke all your R3 wannabes
Itu R3 makan kuih and design sticker kat brader accessories. R&D….surf porn lar dan pikat kak minah kat factory yang pandai buat.
Don’t see anything wrong with racing on the track.
Masalahnya Proton cuma jaguh racing tpi tak jaguh buat kereta yg tinggi kualiti dan diharapkan!!
Bodo civic altis sylhoy semua keta jepun bodo dah kena smoke senang2 dengan preve turbo!
Org bising tentang kualiti pembuatan bukannya betapalkajunya bodo!!
Mana bising? Ko sorang je bising tak tentu pasal kat sini!
Bodo bapak kau tak pernah ajar membaca ke?
Jadi awak nak harap kualiti yang macam mana?
Kualiti nak save minyak macam fuel cell / hybrid, laju macam veyron, boleh bawak 100 orang penumpang, seat lembut sampai tenggelam.
Selamat berjaya Proton. Made Malaysian proud. Cheers :)
Don’t you know what is advertising?
Race race then die like mat rempit. Typical handout mentality company. Race with lembu better than protong. Jagoh kampong only. Where got balls to race ferrari, mclaren?

I know we have the freedom to say anything in comment but please dont associate any politic here. And what is ‘protong’. Please type it right so people know you not an idiot. Cheers :)
Abaikan comment ni. Comment yang awal tu ingatkan tak masuk. Maaf sebab spam comment. Cheers :)
Where did he say anything about politics? Is lembu considered politics?
Yes because another name of lembu is YOU
Congrats! You just show that you are so bodo that you can’t answer a simple question but had to resort to name calling. Typical proton supporters
Toyota boleh race dengan Ferrari @ Mclaren tak?
Out of topic but can I ask about the caterham in one of the pictures. Can we buy a caterham in Malaysia? Can we get it on road?
I really need it!!
Go Go Proton!!!Go and beat the Honda team!!Proton is the best!!Ivtec sucks!
y vtec suck ?
Buy proton lah. Best in Malaysia and some(supporters) say the world!
semua orang sokong Proton tak pernah cakap best in world. hanya u otak ada masalah fikir macam tu
What? Proton not best in the world? I thought they are. They are only best in kampung? Pity
or
Your otak ada masalah fikir macam tu?
Not a fan of Proton at all, but they have a better advantage of winning this competition with turbochargers and good cams. Honda would have a better advantage if only they would to race on tighter tracks (eg, in Melaka).
But let’s watch and see from the perspective of reliability. This will be an interesting race.
if not mistaken turbocharger engine cannot enter race…r3 team use NA campro iafm engine..there article in paultan bout SS r3 touring car back in February.
dude… its 1.6NA. no way can use forced induction in this race
Congratz Team Proton R3 !
Winning prize…1 year supply of kotex…ooops i mean 1 year free supply of Adult Pampers designed and tested by Proton.
Jelous because Proton won?
whatever stupid comment… congratz on R3 team,
Next year HMRT will get back those trophies.
