Champion: Natasha Seatter with her trophy after winning Rounds 3 and 4 of the Formula Gulf 1000 racing series at the Singapore Yas Marina F1 Circuit on Friday.
PETALING JAYA: The national anthem – Negaraku – filled the Yas Marina Circuit not once but twice as Natasha Seatter clinched back-to-back wins in Rounds 3 and 4 of the Formula Gulf 1000 racing series on Friday.
The 19-year-old Natasha, who is the first-ever Malaysian female driver to win an event at the prestigious Yas Marina F1 circuit, proudly stood atop the podium with the Jalur Gemilang draped over her shoulders. She shared the podium with fellow Malaysian racer Rahul Mayer, who took his first rookie podiums with a second and third placing.
“I found the Yas track technically challenging, with its range of corner designs and chicanes, but my race pace was good and my lap times just got faster as the race progressed. “I am delighted and grateful to have such a superb team to work with,” said Natasha, who set the fastest time in lap 21 of the 22-lap event.
Natasha has now won four rounds of the series and is leading the championship. The next round is at the Dubai Autodrome on Dec 14.
