...Meet the Proton R3 Rally Team..




Proton Motor Sports - Meet the Satria Neo S2000 Rally Team. The driver are consist of Alister Macrae, Bill Hayes, Chris Atkinson and Stephan Prevot.

PROTON’s rally cars participate in high profile international events around the world. We’ve been to the Intercontinental Rally Challenge(IRC) and FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship (APRC). These events, which are held in all types of terrain and weather also provide a great testing ground for the development of the Proton Satria Neo S2000 which is critical in our journey to produce a winning car.

Alister McRae and Chris Atkinson are considered as the strongest pairing for the APRC season for 2010. Their wealth of experience in more than 45 rounds of rally championships and many stage wins and podium finishes will give Malaysia the advantage to aim for the podium wins.

The team was consistently running in the top 10 positions while racing against more established Manufacturer Teams such as Peugeot, Skoda, Abarth, Subaru, Mitsubishi, etc.

This culminated in a 2nd place finish in the Rally of Scotland, and a 4th place finish in the Rally of Russia.
