Scorching hot weather greeted the drivers of the Aston Martin Asia Cup when they arrived in Malaysia for the third and fourth rounds of the 2009 series.
With track temperatures of 50°C, qualifying was a true test of both man, machine and Michelin tyres around the sweeping Sepang circuit. Sri Lanka’s Dilantha Malagamuwa (Dilango Racing) was to take the honours of pole position less than eighth-tenths of a second from Mark Williamson of Australia in one of the three ConcordEnergy Racing cars competing. This set up an exciting front row, given Malagamuwa and Williamson came to the event with one win apiece after the opening rounds.
They would have stiff opposition with ThunderAsia Racing’s Mel Choo just a fraction behind them on the grid in third position with Malaysia’s own Tunku Hammam in fourth. Indeed the 14-strong grid was covered by just a few seconds demonstrating how the AMAC series is becoming ever more competitive.
Commander of Sri Lanka Army General Sarath Fonseka has confirmed that the body of V.Prabhakaran, psychopathic leader of world's most barbaric terrorist outfit Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has been found short while ago (May 19). According to the defence sources, the LTTE leader who has ordered thousands of Tamil youth to give up their lives for him has tried to save his life until the last moment.
