A1 Team Malaysia finished the final race weekend of the 2007/08 season today with mixed fortunes.  A retirement in the Feature race followed an 11^th place finish in the Sprint, closing out the most competitive season of the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport so far.  With the introduction of new Ferrari-powered cars for next season, Brands Hatch was the venue to bid farewell to the original A1GP car that has introduced this popular Series to a worldwide audience.

A1 Team Malaysia started the Sprint from the 14^th place grid position with the team sporting the logo of a new commercial partner, MAS Kargo, the cargo division of Malaysia Airlines, on the front wing end plates of the car.

The sprint race rolling start saw the field race down to Paddock Hill Bend, one of the most dramatic corners of this British track, and Fauzy was one of the few drivers to make any improvement on his start position, gaining a position on the opening lap to lie 13^th.  With only 15 laps of racing and only four ‘PowerBoost’ opportunities, the field was very evenly matched and uncharacteristically produced an uneventful Sprint race.  After 20 minutes of racing, Fauzy brought the Malaysia car home in 13^th place

Malaysia once again made a good start for the Feature race, making up a position by the end of the first lap. Three laps later a clash between Australia and Pakistan brought out the safety car and Malaysia held position in 11^th until racing resumed.  The first pit stop window opened one lap later and Malaysia, along with many others made their stop. They returned to the track and after all the nations had pitted, Fauzy remained in 11^th.

Fauzy moved up to 10^th place and into the points shortly after all the pit stops had been completed and as the race entered the mid-phase he was on the pace but unable to challenge the cars ahead.  As the laps counted down the drama continued with the German car off into the gravel with a slow puncture, which would have elevated Malaysia to ninth place, but in a turn of bad luck, electronic problems ended the team’s race, with Fauzy having to return to the pits and retire.
