When we talk about Petronas, Malaysian already knew that our national oil company already invested and sponsored the BMW Sauber and also Yamaha in MOTO GP. But, not all of us know about PETRONAS TOYOTA TEAM TOM’S.The team manager is Masanori Sekiya, and they used Lexus SC430. The PETRONAS TOM’S SC430 participated in 2009 Super GT Championship and the driver for this team are Juichi Wakisaka and Andre Lottere.
Below are some pictures of the PETRONAS TOM’S SC430 in it’s test car form before the light teal green/white livery get’s applied. Great to see it in this stage as it shows the shape and form of the aerodynamics real well.

Tahniah Petronas, tapi berapa juta RM perlu dibelanjakan utk projek ni dan apakah faedah jangka pendek/panjangnya ?
Saya minat juga sukan pemotoran ini tapi biarlah juga mendatangkan hasil utk negara dan rakyat malaysia amnya.
faedah..menaikkan nm petronas di pentas dunia. dn malaysia akan berbangga bl org mgenali petronas dgn reputasinya.
tp kenapa proton tidak boleh bekerjasama dgn petronas…
betapa untungnya jika proton dan petronas bergandingan dalam memacu teknologi negara.
Betul tu..Petronas memang banyak pengalaman..Proton juga ada pengalaman tersendiri..sekiranya Proton dan petronas bekerjasama..tentu banyak faedah yang kita akan dapat..
