Motorsport News: Melvin Choo to compete in Super GT series in 2010

Singapore's very own race car driver, Melvin Choo, from Thunder Asia Racing, has announced his official participation as the first

The Super GT is the fastest GT race in the world, with a large fan base in Japan and the rest of Asia.“I am very privileged to be able to compete as the only Singaporean and the first foreign team at the highly competitive Super GT season,” says Melvin Choo, Thunder
Asia Racing. “We are beginning to gain momentum with our Mosler MT900R
GT3 race car, and I have a great partner and racing veteran Tim Sugden with me. I have very good feelings about our participation at the entire Super GT season.”

The Mosler MT900R race car is made by Mosler Automotive, an American performance sports car manufacturer. Choo has some recent success at the GT3 Asia Challenge races at the Autopolis International Circuit, Japan, winning both finale races 11 and 12.
