March, Sepang -
Requiring no less than 348 vehicles
including 107 bikes for smooth operations
of the 2007 Formula One Petronas Malaysian
Grand Prix, Sepang International Circuit
(SIC) is turning to sponsors; offering a
win-win formula to benefit both parties.
SIC Chairman Datuk Mokhzani Tun Dr
Mahathir today said with worldwide
exposure for all its international events
especially the upcoming Fl race next
month, corporate companies would secure
huge mileage through their association
with the circuit.
"To move further, SIC needs the support
from the corporate sector and together, we
can develop a mutual win-win formula for
the benefit of all parties,' he said at
the official unveiling of Naza KIA as the
Official Media Shuttle Provider for the
circuit.
Providing 16 two-liter Naza Ria MPVs for
the upcoming Formula One Petronas
Malaysian Grand Prix, Naza would also be
backing the Japan GT Championship in June,
the Merdeka Millennium Endurance race in
August, the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand
Prix in October and the A 1 GP Malaysia in
November with a similar support.
While its requirement for media shuttles
already being taken car by Naza, SIC was
still looking for sponsors for its other
vehicle requirements which included
circuit shuttles, buses, bikes and a host
of official cars.
While commending Naza in supporting SIC's
efforts to develop motorsports in
Malaysia, Mokhzani hoped that more
companies would come forward and joined
the circuit in the national agenda to take
Malaysian motorsports to a higher level
and build world champions among
Malaysians.
"It is my sincere hope that Tan Sri
Nasimuddin and Naza's commitment and
dedication in supporting our efforts to
develop Malaysia's motorsports industry
would be a source of inspiration for
others to follow.
Held at the fourth leg of the Fl Roadshow
at One Utama in Bandar Utama, the ceremony
was also attended by Tan Sri Nasimuddin SM
Amin, chairman of Naza Group of Companies.
To run until Sunday, the road show was
part of SIC's efforts to create excitement
and to hype up the ninth edition of the
2007 Formula One Petronas Malaysian Grand
Prix, which would be held at Sepang Fl
Circuit from 6th to 8th April.
