Kuantan, Malaysia
Karamjit Singh did not disappoint fans at Round 4 of the 2007 FELDA-AAM Malaysian Rally Championship ("FAMRC"). Clocking 2:11:02, he and co-driver Jagdev Singh finished in first place for Round 4 and also took home the Championship trophy when he won the penultimate round, held at FELDA Lepar Hilir One here on Sunday, November 4, 2007.
With no close rival to challenge him, the "Flying Singh" and his co-driver Jagdev Singh easily steered their Mitsubishi Evo 8 to the finish line, to take the chequered flag.
Trailing behind by 12:46 was the Indonesian team of Benny Lautan and Edwin Nasution, in the Proton PERT.
Third place went to Sutan Mustaffa Salihin and Ahmad Nadzrie Ahmad Shuhaimi, in the Proton Satria, with the accumulated time of 2:26:42, while Kan Chee Hong and Arish Qutb Ahmad Khan, in the Perodua Myvi, finished fourth, with a time of 2:38:11.
The final round of the FAMRC will take place in Perlis on December 8-9.
“We are happy we won the Championship, as we had a tough day yesterday trying to get the suspension right to suit the course. Even though we have won the Championship, we will still take part in the final round (Round 5), as we are committed to our sponsors and to the organizer", said Karamjit Singh.
Team Karamjit Motorsports is sponsored by Aldwich, Safeguard Securicor, Bin Jarallah, ALPS Freight and Logistics and Silverstone Tyres. The team plans to take part in three rounds of the Asia Pacific Rally Championship next year in Japan, Malaysia and Indonesia, if they manage to secure sponsorship for the next season.

I am a great fan of Karamjit. Met him once in Singapore and he personally showed me the way. Very humble and nice guy. My family loves him. Hope to meet him again and if possible get his contact.
