They had no experience in racing and were trained from a zero to a hero.
Between year 2003 to 2007, the team received technical guidance from Mugen Motorsports[1] and since 2008 the team became an independent Malaysian team with advisers from Japan.
The team has won Merdeka Millennium Endurance Class A five times in a row from 2003 to 2007,[2] it also won the race overall in 2004.
