I would expect the same excitement if not more, but I guess it is not the case. For one, I am always excited and immediately I told my friend that the team completed the race with my smile from one ear to another lol...Personally , I m proud of the team and would love to see them progressing well from one race to another. Realistically, I do not expect them to be at the podium any sooner, but if they can be labeled as the most consistent team in every race, thumbs up for them ! John,

There's been huge coverage in the UK, especially in Norfolk, where the Lotus team is based, with a great deal of excitement and hope for success.

It's actually quite the opposite unless you've had proper driver training and understand the basics of car control. If you have been driving 'fast' on public roads please stop doing so. I promise you once you've gone through lessons you will realize how much you didn't know and how foolish and dangerous it is to race on public roads. If you want to show your 'spirit to race', go to go kart circuits and try out the fun karts first which is cheap and progress from there. Make friends there and you will receive plenty of advice. Try City Karting in Shah Alam. Google to know more. Over time you will learn how to express your interest, safely and competitively. You are likely too old to start a professional racing career in single seaters but if you want to know how F1 drivers start their journey read the following article on HOW TO BE A RACING DRIVER: http://www.a1teammalaysia.com.my/a1/dsp_page.cfm?articleid=308&urlsectionid=466&specialsection=ART_FULL&pageid=201&elementid=1286&PSID=3654 Rahimi, first of all driving ‘fast’ does not mean you’re driving ‘well’.

They are trying to promote these sectors. My only wish, the authorities to expedite these process and make our universities at par, good if not better than Harvard, Oxford even Nanyang University of Singapore. Hopefully, once we have inflow of income from foreign students, we shall seriously consider of making education affordable and accessible to all Malaysians. Healthcare? more shall be spent on prevention rather than curing efforts to all Malaysians.

Have you been to countries like UK, Syria, Qatar, Egypt, Indonesia, Saudi ? If you have the opportunity to visit this countries, perhaps you may change your idea of Proton. You can see Proton cars are driven on the roads not by Malaysians, and even in UK it is driven by the policemen ( police department). When I saw that, I was so proud of being Malaysian !!!. You may argue for export qualities are good etc, but the fact remains that Proton cars are in some part of the world world competing with other brands. I agree with you, Proton is still long way to go, but with the new management I think they are on the right track. Just let the management thinks what is the best for Proton, and we as Malaysian wish them all the best ! Kai..to say that Proton is a shame to the nation, and an overstatement.
