| OUTREACH EVENT |
Pengkalan Hulu, Perak
January 2008 
A1 Team Malaysia conducted its first 'outreach programme' on the 20th of December 2007, where the team helped to refurbish the SJK(T) Keruh school in the north of Perak at a town called Pengkalan Hulu with team mechanics deploying their painting skills, with teachers and parents joining in the refurbishment activity.The team then returned to Pengkalan Hulu on the 5th & 6th of January, together with drivers Alex Yoong and Aaron Lim, for the second part of the programme, to meet and greet the 160 students of the school and more than 1000 visitors from the town and other nearby schools.
Each day began with a karting demonstration by Alex and Aaron, showing how to do a few fast corners in the nearby car park, followed by the principal of the school testing his own skills behind the wheel. In addition to the headmaster one of the local chief policemen also had a go much to the delight of the crowd.
The crowd then moved over to the school where they were able to have an up close view of the A1 Team Malaysia race car. A1 Team Malaysia souvenirs were given out to visitors with many autographs signed and pictures taken with the drivers and team members. To get more information click here
