KUCHING: Auto racing fans across Borneo can get their first taste of sound and speed in the race circuit at the first ever Single Seater Open Wheel Racing Car series to be held in Sarawak.

Borneo International Motorsports (BIM) Sdn Bhd will be organising the AAM Borneo Formula Series 2014 at the International Karting Circuit in Permyjaya, Miri.

Registration of the event is open to all racers in Sarawak, Brunei and Sabah.

The event is supported by Sarawak Automotive Racing Sport Association (Sarsa) and Automobile Association of Malaysia (AAM).

12 Formula Campus Single Seater Open Wheel Racing cars will be imported into Miri for the event.

Assistant Youth Development Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Hamzah said yesterday that the event will be a good start to boost the car racing in Sarawak.

“Sarawak has seen quite a number of motorsports races being held including drag race, motocross and ‘kap cai’ race. And this new racing series will boost the development of motorsports in Sarawak,” he told a media conference at Regency Rajah Court here.
