Red Bull Female Driver Search Stop 2 -- IPOH!

As the team was driving into Ipoh, the first thing we noticed were some outstanding buntings and banners!






Imagine our surprise (okay, not really) to discover that the banners and buntings were actually OURS! =D

Our next stop on the Red Bull Female Driver Search nationwide tour was Ipoh, Perak and our venue for this location was Dataran MBI, which was right opposite Ipoh Parade!

This was our first stop in Peninsular Malaysia so we were really nervous about it, but everyone was so great and the particpants were really sporting so in the end we really didn't have anything to worry about!


Thanks for everyone for coming out to see us!



Some of the applicants who turned up, good luck girls!


That's all from Ipoh! Next stop --> Melaka!
