London, Great Britain – Michelin is to become the
exclusive tyre partner to A1GP World Cup of Motorsport starting with the 2008/09
season. The French company which has a vast motorsport heritage has signed a
three year deal to provide tyres for the new A1GP Powered by Ferrari car.
Michelin tyre technicians have been working hard with the
A1GP technical personnel to provide the best possible rubber for the series.
Since the Powered by Ferrari car had its first run in Fiorano in late May it
has been using the company’s tyres and has clocked up over 4,000 kilometres
on tracks in Italy and Spain.
While a proposal to turn Sepang’s prestigious Merdeka Millennium Endurance into a 24-hour race fast gaining momentum, racing legend Hans Joachim Stuck believes the race should remain as it is and instead build further as a prominent 12-hour international endurance race.

A very disapointing race for Petronas Syntium Racing Team,for unknown reason the car piloted by 3 great drivers - Hans Stuck , his son Johannes together with Farique as the last driver to drive the BMW Z4 with only 55 minutes to finish the race while leaving the nearest competitor 13-lap behind was left stuck .The car stalled on the longest straight in Sepang leaving Farique with nothing to spare.
Win or lose, Malaysia’s racing sensation Jazeman Jaafar says that the 2007 Petronas Primax 3 Merdeka Millennium Endurance has provided a valuable experience for him and that it would significantly enhance his motor racing career.
