The 2010 Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race is in its second hour and it has been quite a race so far. All 36 cars that started the race are still in contention but it was the Audi Race Experience Team Joest, that provided the biggest scare even before the race started.
At the starting grid the R8 GT suddenly caught on fire, adding to the already dramatic essence of the endurance race. The team managed to get the car started in time for the race. Starting from the pits however was car number #36 of Team Ultra Racing Kegani, the Toyota Altezza has been giving problems even during practise, so we're keeping a close watch on it's performance.
