A1 Team Malaysia will debut Aaron Lim at this weekend's round of the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport. The team is delighted to be introducing the talented young Malaysian driver to top level international racing and is looking forward to the event at Brands Hatch.
It will be Lim's third visit to Brands Hatch, with the A1 Team Malaysia driver having taken part in the A1GP rookie sessions for the last two seasons there. Many of the more experienced drivers will have considerably more knowledge of the track as it is a mainstay of many of the European racing championships. Lim is undaunted by the challenge ahead, but is keeping his feet firmly on the ground.
He says, "I know I'll be one of the most inexperienced drivers on the A1GP grid at Brands Hatch, but you have to start somewhere and what better venue than this historic race track. I'm keeping my expectations very realistic and will be taking it step-by-step, focusing on each session as we progress through the weekend. I love the circuit and I can't wait to be driving the A1GP car again, so Friday can't come soon enough for me."
Jack Cunningham, Chief Executive, A1 Team Malaysia adds, "Aaron is showing great maturity in his approach to this event. We know we have given him one of the more challenging tracks as a venue for his debut, but we're confident he'll cope with the additional pressures of moving from rookie to main driver this weekend. We know he'll do the best he can for us and for Malaysia and that's all we ask of him. He has everyone in the team and the nation behind him for Brands Hatch."
