Yoong says of the tie-up with Proton Australia, "One of the privileges of being an international race driver is the unique opportunities that are presented and this Proton trip is certainly going to be one of these. I'll enjoy sampling the new Satria Neo and visiting a little more of the beautiful Australian countryside. Meeting the A1 Team Malaysia fans at the Brisbane Motor Show will also be fun and I hope I'll be going along with a trophy from the Australian A1GP race!"

John Startari, Managing Director, Proton Australia adds, "We are delighted that Alex will be joining with us for our new car launch and to be our special guest at the Brisbane Motor Show and I know he'll be a big hit with the fans and visitors to the Proton Australia stand.
