Petronas will have their guns blazing for the upcoming Merdeka Millennium Endurance race with the announcement that it would enter the car from their Petronas Syntium Team (PST), a BMW Z4 M Coupe.

The car is currently being raced in Japan's Super Taikyu race series.

The 400bhp car was unveiled yesterday, together with the announcement of the team line-up. The PST Super Taikyu driver, Farique Hairuman, will be there. But what would catch everyone in the racing fraternity by surprise are the other two drivers, Hans Joachim Stuck and his son, Johannes.

This car, together with these three drivers, are surely set to impress and give Proton and their Lotus 300R a run for their money. Should be entertaining, this coming MME, especially when ticket prices are a mere RM0.50.

This year's race will see some interesting competition from drivers and team throughout the region, especially with the country's 50th anniversary celebrations. So look out for some interesting news on the race soon....
