and when Captain. Sameh Abdel Kawey -the Egyptian champion- was asked about his experiment he said….

It was my first time to represent Egypt in Malaysia, in the largest track ring in the world ( Sepang International Circuit) I am happy and proud that I had ability to pprove to myself and the countries participated in this race that the Egyptian racer doesn›t lack anything but possibilities which if available he will get the opportunity to amaze the whole world.

Competition was strong and we passed through a difficult time especially with the rains that we are not eligible for such a weather , but there was a strong and quick preparation to face these conditions and we changed the tires to fit the track and climate, and the first round started at exactly 10.00am Malaysia time.

The most prominent participate was a Japanese racer , he was the most important in this race because of his unique skills and abilities to maneuver.

At the end of the day was the giving of the gifts and videos in the memory of this day to make it unforgettable. In conclusion ,I would like to thank the company, Michelin (TAMCO company) the first in the tire industry in the world for supporting me in the motor sport field.
