Proton/Petronas Motorsport Heritage

Malaysia's involvement in global motorsport has been more substantial than any other Southeast Asian nation — Petronas's title sponsorship of the McLaren-Mercedes F1 team from 1995 to 2009, its subsequent sponsorship of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, and Proton's rally and touring car programme created a uniquely Malaysian thread running through the fabric of global motorsport.
