Mosler MT900R to be driven by a team of Singaporean and British drivers

It has been announced recently that the Singaporean team, “Thunder Asia Racing”, will be participating in the forthcoming SUPER GT Round 4 held at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) of Malaysia on June 20 – 21.

It will be in the GT300 class where the team is making their spot-entry this time, driving Mosler MT900R, the American custom GT car known well in also the SUPER GT series. The machine will be powered by 7-liter GM LS7 engine, with tires by Yokohama, and Singaporean driver, Melvin Choo and his British counterpart, Martin Short on the steer. The British driver has participated in the Suzuka 1000km of 2001, (at the time not a part of SUPER GT/JGTC series) driving TVR Tuscan R, where he gained the experience competing with JGTC class machines.

The team has been recommended by the SIC to the GTA about their special participation this time, and will not be granted any series points even if they finish in the points range.
