Dakar Rally Experience To come To Juru Autocity This Weekend
Kuala Lumpur, 1 December 2009 – After an extremely successful and exciting Mitsubishi Dakar Rally Experience held in Desapark City, Kuala Lumpur over the previous weekend (28 -29 November), the event shall be held over this coming weekend (5-6 December 2009) at the Juru Autocity in Prai.
Mitsubishi and other 4WD fans will be able to do on-road testing of complete Mitsubishi range, and do off-road testing for the Mitsubishi 4WD light truck and SUV, namely the Triton and the Pajero Sport. Special offers are up for grabs for members of the public who sign up confirmed bookings for any of the Mitsubishi range at the event. The event is open from 0900 hrs until 1700 hrs on both days this weekend.
In addition to the on-road and off-road testing, there is also a taxi ride in a Dakar rally car replica with a multiple Malaysian Rally Champion at the event.
In last week’s event at Desapark City, members of the public were thrilled by Hiroshi Masuoka, two-time Dakar Rally Champion (2002 & 2003) , who drove the Pajero Sport and the Mitsubishi Triton at very fast speeds over a short rally course specially constructed for the purpose. To add to the equation, there was a heavy downpour on both days, but rather than drowning out the event, the wet conditions made the taxi ride and the off-road testing even more exciting, as the rally and test tracks became a quagmire of mud and water.
As the track conditions changed for the worse, the taxi ride became even more exciting, with lots of water splashes and sideways driving as the mud reduced the available traction.
With the recent downpours, the Juru Autocity track promises to be just as exciting, and motoring fans are encouraged to come for the Mitsubishi Dakar Experience. Goody bags and gifts await the first one hundred participants.
The photos shown are from the Desapark City event last weekend, and if they strike a chord of excitement in you, come to Autocity this weekend and experience it for yourself!
