Lim to race at Brands Hatch for Team Malaysia

After nearly two years of running as the team's rookie driver, Aaron Lim is to finally get his big chance to race with A1 Team Malaysia. Lim has been an ever present part of the squad since the final races of the 2006/07 season, competing in a total of 15 rookie practice sessions, but with renowned Malaysian drivers Alex Yoong and Fairuz Fauzy around, Lim has never been given the chance to be promoted to the race seat.

However, with this season's regular driver Fairuz Fauzy making himself unavailable for selection at the next round at Brands Hatch due to other racing commitments, the team has opted to give Lim his chance.

"I've waited a long time for this and now it has been confirmed I'm both excited and nervous," said Lim. "I love driving the A1GP Powered by Ferrari car and working with such a professional racing team, so to be given the chance to race for my country in this series is a dream come true.

"I'm probably making my debut at one of the more difficult tracks on the A1GP calendar, as Brands Hatch is renowned as one of the most challenging circuits. It is also very much part of the history and heritage of motorsport, so it's quite a special place to be racing. I'm going to head over to the UK this week so that I can acclimatise to the time change and cooler weather."
