OD Racing held their official launch party for the year 2016 at the Zouk Club Kuala Lumpur on the evening of 25th May and it sure was exciting. More than a thousand guests attended the grand event. The guest of honour was Yang Amat Mulia Tunku Dato’ Seri Utama Naquiyuddin Tuanku Ja’afar, who supports the OD Racing team, and Tunku was supportive enough to put on the exclusive OD Racing T-shirt and jacket in recognition of the team.
A media conference was held during the event in the Velvet room of the Zouk Club Kuala Lumpur, where OD Racing dignitaries thanked Yang Amat Mulia for Tunku’s continued support by presenting an exclusive pair of limited edition OD Racing sunglasses to compliment Tunku’s OD Racing outfit. Yang Amat Mulia delivered the speech and congratulated the team in preparation for the upcoming Asian LE MANS 2016/2017 and the Kuala Lumpur City Grand Prix 2016.
Malaysian GT racing team which has bold vision to strive to be the number 1 Asia Le Mans within the Asian region by 2018 with its team of outstanding drivers.” These words were enough to encourage the OD racing team to greater heights.
The floor was then opened to the press who asked questions to the distinguished panel, which consisted of Yang Amat Mulia, Fairuz Fauzi OD Racing’s official driver, Mr. Bernard Teo Oso, the Managing Director of OD Racing and Mr. Eugene Wong the Corporate Advisor of OD Racing.
That ended the Q&A session and the press and the guests were asked to step outside for the unveiling of the OD Racing team’s new race car. It was a grand and exciting moment, the crowd and the press was gathered around the car which was covered by a black tarp. The tarp was removed with a flourish, and finally OD Racing’s new race car was revealed: a McLaren GT 650S GT3.
This is McLaren’s new supercar meant for track-only GT racing; based on the design of the 650S road car , this racer features improved aerodynamics, better cooling and enhanced safety. The McLaren 650S GT3 is the latest generation track-focused racer from McLaren GT designed and optimised to contest GT3 championships across the globe. The crowd took a moment to fully appreciate this superb machine! Then Yang Amat Mulia and Mr. Fauzi inspected the car more closely, admiring the workmanship and the design. Finally the entire panel posed with the car along with some beautiful models who added a touch of glamour to the already grand event.
OD Racing dignitaries thanked Yang Amat Mulia Tunku Dato’ Seri Utama Naquiyuddin Tuanku Ja’afar for his continued support. OD Racing also thanked the sponsors and the fans and has promised to prove to everyone why their loyalty and devotion is well founded by overcoming every challenge and being the first across the finish line this year.
