Sources by Paultan.org

Paultan.org - A Rally car vs a helicopter? Sounds like something you would see on Top Gear isn’t it. We’re glad to report that this actually took place, this time with Proton’s very own Satria Neo S2000 car and a Robinson R44 helicopter.

The S2000 produces 280hp from its 2.0 litre engine while the Robinson pumps out 243hp and designed to move the helicopter at a maximum speed of 240km/h. Well long story short the car, driven by Chris Atkinson, crossed the line a few metres ahead of the helicopter.

Paultan.org - Reader Fahmil spotted the elusive “Waja Lancer” soon to be launched out in the open near Masjid Kapitan Keling in Penang last Friday, along with an Exora ‘escort’.It was actually raining, and Fahmil was so excited that he jumped out of his car and snapped the new Waja in the rain! The new Waja is essentially a badge engineered Mitsubishi Lancer and this particular car clearly already has the Proton nose applied on it as the front end is completely taped up

Below are the rendering art by Theophilus Chin for the new Proton Waja. Original sources can be found at Paultan.org.

...Fail to convert pace into win at the Rally of Queensland...

Sources by Paultan

Paultan.org - The Proton R3 Malaysia Rally Team did well at the recent International Rally of Queensland by winning almost every stage in the rally.

Unfortunately due to technical difficulties, drivers Chris Atkinson and Alister McRae did not finish the event held in the forests of the Sunshine Coast. The Rally of Queensland is part of the 2010 FIA-Asia Pacific Rally Championship (APRC).

The rate at which the two were going, they would have surely been on the podium at the very least. The R3 team won 15 out of 18 stages of the entire rally, with Atkinson winning 11 of those. The joy was cut short when Atkinson’s car stalled in a creek crossing whereas McRae retired due to damage sustained to his Neo after going over a large rock on the second stage of the final day.
