First round of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Festival to be broadcast live this weekend

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought on strict measures to prevent and stop the spread of the coronavirus. Although the authorities have eased the restrictions, large gatherings are still not allowed. Therefore, while many activities can be run, the general public cannot attend and have to watch via broadcasts over the internet.

The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Festival (TGR Festival) is no exception. This has been an annual affair for the past few years, an event held in different parts of the country with racing, entertainment and fun for the family as its key elements. However, this year, the first round of the fourth season at the Sepang International Circuit this weekend will not be open to the general public.

*One of the races in a previous round of the Vios Challenge.*

In accordance with the requirements of the health authorities, a ‘Sports Bubble’ will be initiated for those who are allowed to participate but racing fans and the public nationwide will watch the TGR festival online via Toyota’s website and social media platforms on the internet.

The broadcasts will be on the UMW Toyota Motor and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Malaysia websites at toyota.com.my/tgrmalaysia/, and also on the Toyota Malaysia and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Malaysia Facebook pages.

“The concept of the event remains unchanged, only the manner in which it reaches out to the public in these extraordinary and challenging times. The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Festival has primarily been about bringing motorsports to the masses and we will continue to do this,” said UMW Toyota Motor’s President, Ravindran K.

“The people who have come to the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Festival over the past 3 seasons have done so for many different reasons. Some come for the racing, others for the chance to spend time with their favourite celebrities, and there are those who are there for the many different on-ground activities and attractions. Moving forward, it is imperative we continue with this even if it means going online, as this is what has fundamentally made the festival unique and a huge success,” he said.

While the on-ground atmosphere will be void of fans and public presence, Mr. Ravindran said the ‘silver lining’ is that the opportunity to livestream the TGR Festival for the entire race weekend would reach out to an even larger and wider audience, including racing fans outside of Malaysia, all of whom can watch the action from the comfort and safety of their homes.

*The rookies in the GAZOO Racing Young Talent Development Program.*

This new season sees an expansion of the racing activities with four, instead of three classes. Besides the Sporting Class, Super Sporting Class and Promotional Class, there will also be the new Rookie Class. This will see 6 newcomers who are graduates of the GAZOO Racing Young Talent Development Program. Identified for their potential, they are stepping up from karting and simulator to making their debut in saloon car racing and have been provided with professional training to prepare them for a new ‘career’.

The Promotional Class, always a crowd favourite as popular local celebrities take part, also has three newcomers – Talitha Tan, Zizan Razak and Ahirine Ahirudin. In between races, the 10 celebrities will also be involved in a livestream entertainment segment called TOYOTA GAZOO Racing OFFTHEGRID and will be able to give the viewers intimate insights into their racing experiences.

As for the Sporting Class and Super Sporting Class, many of the drivers are now experienced in the racing which is run as the Vios Challenge One-Make series as only the Toyota Vios is used. The cars are all identical in performance and strict inspections before and after the race are carried out to ensure that they conform to the rules.

In a segment called Jom Duet Bersama, three of the celebrities – Khai Bahar, Wany Hasrita and Nabila Razali – fans will be invited to participate in an acting and singing duet challenge with the best submissions to be aired during the livestream. Comedians Nabil Ahmad and Zizan Razak will also join forces for Latah Positif and Berita Apani, giving viewers a quirky insight into the event.

Tengku Djan Ley – also known as Malaysia’s ‘Prince of Drift’ – will also go head-to-head in a battle to test the reaction times of the rookies in a series of challenges off the circuit in Toyota Arena Bersama Rookies & Tengku Djan. And fresh from completing their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examination, two of these rookies, Amer Harris and Mika Hakimi, will host Did You SPM?, where they will ask racers, mechanics and race officials random SPM questions in a test of wits.

Season 4 of Toyota GAZOO Racing Festival to have 6 events with 11 races in 2021

Review: Volkswagen Passat R-Line – Very Nearly Perfect!

Do you live in an urban area with mad traffic? Somewhere like KL, Penang or even JB? Do you work long hours at the office and take pride in working overtime? Perhaps you have spent years and years of your life working up the corporate ladder and now you are almost at the top.

Your family life is near perfect. Kids are in school, your trophy wife is dedicated to ensuring the home always remains comfortable and the kids balance their time between work and play.

And now it has come time to reward yourself.

But you are a price conscious man. You do not want to spend too much money on a car that takes you to work and home and back to your parents home in a town three to four hours away every three to four months away. But we are talking about a Volkswagen here, so you can accept a little bit of depreciation.

Or maybe you are none of the above and just want a nice car to go about your daily business then. It does not matter what category you fall into, or if there is even a category to define you.

Lets then talk about the Volkswagen Passat R-Line – a car so fine that you won’t mind spending hours stuck in traffic in it. And yet it falls short of being perfect.

What we love about it:

Design

The design of the Passat has come a long way. Even without the R-line kit the Passat is already a handsome car, but the R-line kit simply accentuates its good looks and adds a dash of sportiness to it. The R-line gives you bigger, sportier wheels, sports bumpers, a sportier steering wheel, Nappa leather upholstery, and a lot more inside and outside the car, but it does not add more power and add any electronic gizmo. Everything else remains the same.

We particularly loved it in white and as the saying goes, if you don’t look back at your car after parking it, you bought the wrong car. The Passat R-line had us looking back at it a lot, and we think you will too.

Interior

The interior is spacious and comfortable. The drivers seat is adjustable in 14 different ways, so it is impossible to not get comfortable in it.

We particularly appreciate how well built everything feels, and though it does not exude luxury and opulence, it is a great place to be in. When compared to the competition in its segment especially the current throne-sitters like the Camry and Accord, the Passat and its European build and style makes it feel as if it were a bargain at a little under RM205,000.

And yes, it is more expensive than its segment competitors and price-wise at least, it deserves to be put up against the likes of the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes C-Class and the Audi A4. And even then it would still seem like a bargain as you get so much more living space for a lot cheaper.

If you don’t mind the badge, then the Passat offers a lot more value for money than its Euro rivals. And if you don’t mind spending a little more than the Asians, you will love the interior ambiance and comforts.

Technology

During the entire review period, the Passat appealed to the techie in us. Whether it was the digital meter panel or the eight speaker sound system, or the armada of safety technologies, the Passat has plenty of tech to offer.

The Wireless App-Connect smartphone connectivity in particular was shockingly easy to use. The iPhone connected to the onboard Apple CarPlay quickly and drama free, and most importantly, wirelessly. It was perfect and for those of you who suffer from cable-anxiety where you have to carry cables everywhere, this tech is God sent. Sadly, this tech is only available for Apple iPhone users, Android users will still need to suffer the inelegance of carrying cables around.

The drive mode selector too is just two quick dabs of a button away – touch the Drive Mode button located by the gear shifter and then touch the 9.2-inch screen to select your preferred mode. The Passat R-line has five driving modes – Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport and Individual, which lets you adjust things like steering wheel heft, accelerator pedal sensitivity and gear shift speed. Because the Passat also comes with Dynamic Chassis Control, you can also adjust how comfortable the car feels, a plush for those highways cruises, and hard suspension for when you feel like attacking corners and for ultimate chassis and suspension response.

Power and Economy

We hear the groans, yes we know 190PS (187hp) and 320Nm of torque does not warrant us talking about power, but it honestly feels good enough in the Passat.

Keep in mind that this is a car that has been designed for comfort and safety for the family. Yes this is a family man’s car, and we beg of you not to kit it up with a spoiler and loud ‘wannabe’ akrapovic exhaust kit, because that will just make you look stupid and the car is not designed for this (yes, there actually are people that do such things to a Passat).

The Passat R-line is designed for the daily grind, and that’s what it does best – to keep you comfortable and to keep your money in your wallet and not poured into the fuel tank. Volkswagen Malaysia says the Passat R-line needs just 6.5 litres of fuel for every 100km, real world figures suggest something along those lines and up to 7.6 litres for every 100km when you’re not flooring the right pedal all the time. But we do believe their claim that the Passat is capable of 1,000km per tank. Of course this depends on your driving style, but if you keep your right foot on a leash, those figures are achievable.

All-round daily runner

This is what we love the Passat for, a no-nonsense, fuss-free, comfortable, loving car. It has everything you will want in a car and has it all packaged handsomely. It is a car that you can drive to the office and to impress your clients and to show that you are a person with taste yet don’t want to spend silly money on a car that ultimately does not give you back as much. It is also a car that your family will love and will also ultimately impress the cousins and kampung folks with its good looks.

But there are also things that we don’t quite like, such as ….

Road Noise

The 19-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli Cinturato P7 (235/40 R19) rubbers are good in the wet and have decent dry weather handling, but are extremely noisy at highway speed. And this noise creeps back into the cabin to the point where you actually have to raise your voice significantly to have a conversation. This can get irritating and uncomfortable at highway speed. It is particularly annoying when you have to make and accept phone calls, hands free of course.

Confusing entertainment system and a screen that loves fingerprints

As great as the entertainment system is, we suspect that non-tech inclined drivers and passengers will find the onboard systems a little confusing to use. There is no doubt that the systems are especially friendly towards iPhone users (no complains there for this iPhone user), but the entire Discover Pro entertainment system requires a little getting used.

As for the screen that too easily smudges, this irritates the neat freak in us because the screen somehow does not cope very well with all that fingering around. After a day’s driving, the screen is full of smudges. Of course there is a way around it and that is to visit your favourite accessories story and to install a screen protector. It is not a deal breaker, but still very irritating.

Uninspiring dashboard

Yes yes we were raving about how well built the interior feels and all that jazz, but if you are artistically inclined the design of the dashboard may leave you longing for more. Of course less is always more, and the overall interior quality feels great, but as far as exciting interior designs go, the dash of the Passat will perhaps leave you longing for more after a while.

All in all …

There is little not to love about the Volkswagen Passat, especially in R-line trim. It may be pricey especially when compared to the Japanese rivals, but you get good value for money. There are plenty of complaints about Volkswagen and retaining its used car prices, but we are firm believers in living in the moment and worrying about the future when the time comes, so if you want a car that looks good and makes you feel great as well, then the Passat R-line checks all the boxes.

And for those concerned about owning a Volkswagen, the company has heard of such concerns and now offers a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty, 3 year free maintenance as well as 5 year free roadside assistance. Talk about drama free ownership.

The Pirelli tyres to be used for the 2021 F1 season-opener in Bahrain

The 2021 Formula 1 World Championship starts off this weekend in Bahrain, instead of Australia where the first round has traditionally been. So instead of preparing for the circuit in Melbourne, tyre-suppliers Pirelli have had to change plans and select tyres for the circuit in the desert which has some of the most abrasive asphalt of the season.

At the 3-day pre-season test on the circuit, the teams had the entire P Zero range at their disposal, but many chose to concentrate on the three compounds nominated by Pirelli engineers. With the track having been used just 4 months ago, little about it will have changed since the teams were last there: giving them a stable basis to work from.

Windy testing conditions
The testing was influenced by the local conditions and the first day was consistently windy with gusts that reached 47 km/h, affecting the aerodynamics on the cars. As a result of the wind, there was plenty of sand on the track that compromised grip. Temperatures were also particularly high, so the combination of these factors led to some surface overheating and increased tyre degradation.

On the second day, the wind still remained but temperatures were lower, which reduced the overheating. As a result, the teams had a better balance with their cars, with plenty of set-up work carried out over generally short runs, as was the case on the opening day.

The third and final day was run in better track conditions with moderate winds and a cool breeze but track temperatures similar to the first day. Many teams carried out long runs using the compound tyres nominated.

The three compounds
The three compounds are C2 as the P Zero White hard, C3 as the P Zero Yellow medium, and C4 as the P Zero Red soft. This is the same nomination as last year’s Bahrain GP but there is a new tyre construction this year for the latest cars. The 2021 cars, in fact, have reduced downforce compared to last year, under the most recent technical rules.

The new tyres for 2021 have been designed to improve strength and durability, allowing them to run at lower pressures, while the actual compounds are the same as last year. During testing of the 2021 tyres last November in Bahrain, rear tyre pressure was reduced by 0.5 psi and front tyre pressure by 1.5 psi. Then, following telemetry analysis and the reduction of rear downforce in particular, rear tyre pressure was further reduced by 1.5 psi at recent test in Bahrain. This is now confirmed for the race.

The number of sets allowed per weekend is the same as last year (13) despite the there being an hour less of running, with Friday’s free practice sessions now cut to one hour each. As was the case last year, there’s a standard allocation for every car in 2021.

Racing after sunset
The Bahrain race is run at night and gets underway in the evening at 6 pm. After sunset, track temperatures that can fall quite rapidly once the race gets underway and this in turn affects tyre behaviour and therefore strategy.

The asphalt (with high granite content) in Bahrain is well-known for being abrasive, increasing tyre wear and degradation. Last year’s race – which featured a red flag and multiple safety car periods – was won by Mercedes-AMG driver Lewis Hamilton with a 2-stop strategy. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who finished second, was one of just two drivers to change tyres 4 times.

Condensed testing session
Commenting on the tyres, Mario Isola, Head of F1 and Car Racing at Pirelli, said: ”Just 4 months after having two races in Bahrain, and two weeks after 3 days of pre-season testing, we’re back there for the first race of the 2021 season. During the test, we saw many teams concentrated on the compounds nominated for the race, but the conditions we experienced in testing might not be entirely representative of the race.”

“The teams also ran a very wide variety of different programmes during just the one condensed session, whereas in the past, with two test sessions, the second session was usually more focussed on tyres. So it’s hard to draw many firm conclusions. With new specifications of cars and tyres, as well as the shortest pre-season in recent memory, the competition is wide open: especially given that the track characteristics of Bahrain have often resulted in interesting strategic battles, with a number of different tactics used,” he added.

The third 2022 18-inch tyre test of the year (the second one with slicks) will take place for 3 days in Bahrain after the race. Ferrari will run on the first day, with Alpine running on the final two days.

Volvo Car Malaysia provides E-waste Green Box to dispose of electronic items responsibly

Volvo Cars is very well known as a pioneer in automotive safety, having built up its reputation over many decades. In fact, even when the company began business 94 years ago, its two founders – Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson – declared that “Cars are driven by people. Therefore the guiding principle behind everything we make at Volvo is – and must remain – safety“.

Besides safety, the Swedish carmaker is also very conscious about protecting the environment and it has the same commitment to this as it does safety. The commitment is understood and undertaken by all its subsidiaries around the world and in Malaysia, Volvo Car Malaysia’s ongoing sustainability campaign – the Volvo Green Planet – which aims to bring greater awareness towards today’s pressing climate concerns and propel the brand closer to its long-term goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2040.

Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM) has partnered with E-waste Recycling Through Heroes (ERTH) to provide an avenue – in the form of an E-waste Green Box – for all Malaysians to responsibly dispose and recycle their used electronics items at Volvo Car dealerships nationwide, as well as at the Volvo Car Manufacturing Malaysia (VCMM) plant in Shah Alam, Selangor.

The dealerships and VCMM will have a dedicated E-waste Green Box located in a visible area where the general public, not just prospective customers, can drop off any devices or components running on electricity or battery that can fit into the box. This includes, but is not limited to laptops, mobile phones, monitors, tablets, printer, keyboard, batteries and gaming consoles. For bulkier items, individuals are encouraged to book a free pick-up service on www.erth.app.

ERTH is a registered organisation with the Malaysian Department of Environment (Jabatan Alam Sekitar) that collects, purchases and transports electronic waste to be recycled at local government-licensed recycling facilities. ERTH ensures that the recycling process is in line with the guidelines from the Basel Convention, an international agreement treaty designed to reduce the movement, transport and/or shipment of hazardous waste between nations.

“Responsible business is a fundamental part of Volvo Car Malaysia, which is why we are proud to collaborate with ERTH that ensures the electronic waste is recycled and repurposed in the correct manner and in accordance with guidelines that have been laid down. In an age where electronics are abundant, we partly contribute to the problem, so we need to also be a part of the solution. Recycling and repurposing is one of the best ways to offset one’s carbon emission, and we hope that more Malaysians can take part in joining us to create a greener future,” said Akhtar Sulaiman, Marketing and PR Director of Volvo Car Malaysia.

Volvo Cars, as a group goes, beyond its mission to reduce CO₂ emissions per car by 40% between 2018 and 2025 through electrification, and also tackles carbon emissions in all aspects of its business, from manufacturing and operations to its supply chain and even its approach to recycling and reuse of materials.

*Using trains instead of trucks for transporting finished vehicles away from the Volvo factory has reduced carbon dioxide emissions significantly in European operations.*

Embracing this commitment even on a local front, VCM, along with other Volvo Cars facilities around the world, has taken to more sustainable approaches to their business such as abstaining from single-use plastics and going paperless for all brochures and pricelists at its headquarters and Volvo dealerships.

“At Volvo, we walk the talk. Instead of only talking about sustainability, we drive it by embracing and integrating the practice into our business and day-to-day life. When coming up with the idea for the E-waste Green Box, we wanted to enable all Malaysians – and not just our customers and employees – so that together we can drive this sustainability journey together, for the greater good of our planet and our future generations, so that we leave behind a safer and greener world for them to live in,” said Akhtar.

When Geely produced a ‘Rolls-Royce’ (w/VIDEO)

Visit www.bhpetrol.com.my for more information.

While Geely (the Zhejiang Geely Holding Group) today has design studios in Europe and Asia with world-class designers who create original styling for the group’s products (which include Proton), there was a time in the early days when Geely’s cars were essentially adaptations of models by other manufacturers. Some may call it ‘cloning’ or outright copying but it depends on the way and the circumstances one manufacturer uses the design of another company for its own product.

In the case of Geely, originally established as a refrigerator maker in 1986, the first car produced by the company called the Haoqing (HQ) in 1998 was adapted from a Daihatsu Charade (the G100 generation). However, it was permitted by FAW Tianjin, which was Daihatsu’s partner in China and had itself adapted the basic Charade design. Geely incorporated a Mercedes-like front end and people who went to China and saw the HQ would often tell their friends about a ‘Mercedes hatchback’ which they saw there!

Ambitions to be world-class manufacturer
However, Geely also aspired to become a global player and in time, it developed its own capabilities in all aspects of automobile design and development. It recruited experienced designers, with Peter Horbury leading them. Horbury was originally design head at Volvo and was responsible for ‘throwing the box’ out of the Swedish cars and giving them curves and sleek lines suited to the 21st century.

Geely’s founder, Li ShuFu, has been an ambitious man all his life, and it shows in all that he has done, especially during the past 12 years. The Geely Group has a large number of brands in its portfolio and covers virtually every segment of the auto market almost to the peak. And he could well have also been thinking about the pinnacle too as Geely once came out with a concept model of what anyone would have mistaken for a Rolls-Royce model.

Similar styling elements to a Rolls-Royce
It was the Geely Excellence (GE) which was displayed at the 2009 Shanghai Motor Show and as would be expected, the company refuted claims of copying a Rolls-Royce Phantom although there might be some elements that looked similar. Those elements would be the prominent vertical grille, large rectangular headlights and even a figurine on top of the grille, with the side view having a degree of similarity as well.

Meanwhile, Geely suggested that if the 5.4-metre long limousine was to be produced and offered for sale with a proposed name of ‘YingLun’, it might cost around £30,000 (around RM170,000) – about an eighth the price of a Phantom. Apart from the majestic proportions, the interior was as the saying goes, ‘fit for a king’ and indeed, it would be only the king alone as the concept model had only one seat in the back (a throne?). The single seat could have been also because the body was narrow (about 1800 mm) compared to a Phantom which was 1990 mm wide. In the front were seats for the driver and one more person, perhaps an assistant or a bodyguard.

Not considered ‘flattery’
Like every Rolls-Royce, the GE was also luxuriously appointed with wood, leather and wool, and equipped with a privacy partition, massage seat, a star-studded ceiling and a wine cabinet. The engine proposed was said to be a 3.5-litre V6.

The Rolls-Royce people did not consider that, in this case, ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’ and were certainly unhappy that the GE was unveiled near its own Phantom at the motorshow. With the notable design elements protected by trademark registration, the British carmaker could have taken legal action, as the media speculated at that time.

Legal action was not taken
However, Hal Serudin, Corporate Communications Manager at Rolls-Royce Asia-Pacific, who was there in 2009, said that there was no legal action. “I remember that event well and one of my colleagues said ‘We are certainly not flattered by this’. Anyway, as you recall, they also mentioned a price for the car which would have been targeted at a segment of customers very different from those who buy a Rolls-Royce,” he told PISTON.MY.

*2011 Geely Emgrand GE concept had no similarity to a Rolls-Royce.*

There were different responses to Geely’s ‘re-invention of a classic’ and some regarded it as a very clear sign of copying. Geely took note and the GE evolved into the Emgrand GE in 2011 (shown above) with a massive chrome grille that had absolutely no visual connection to a Rolls-Royce. The concept model was shown at the 2010 Beijing Motor Show and had a plug-in hybrid powertrain with two seats behind.
