RED BULL ROOKIES IN THE “GLAMLIGHT”

The Red Bull Rookies, Puteri Ayu Jasmin, Carmen Lim, Lee Hui Jing, Liana Radzak and Melline Jaini went through a special "MEET THE PRESS" session.

Since 2 of them are from Brunei, and their time here in KL are extremely limited, the girls went through a packed schedule. Newspaper interviews, magazine interviews, TV interviews were all the girls speak, eat and sleep in between training sessions. Were they ready for the “glam light”?? Check out some of their unforgettable moments…

For a little warm up before meeting the press, the girls did what they do best: DRIVE!!!

------------------------------------------------------

First on the list, the girls headed to the LIVE set of Malaysia Hari Ini (TV3).

Getting ready in the early morning.

Waiting for their turn to be on air

The girls waited anxiously for their first time on air. LIVE!

Our speed queens then head to Utusan Malaysia for an interview and photoshoot session.

A trip to NSTP building for interviews with Berita Harian and Harian Metro

The Rookies did great throughout the entire interview even though some of them had difficulties conversing in Malay.. But everyone did their very best!

------------------------------------------------------

The late night @ 8TV Quickie

The setting of the show was so homey and cozy! Love the graffiti bookshelves and all that colorful decorations!

SPOTTED!!! The setting looks incredibly homey on TV but felt even homier in real life! The couch was so comfy that Puteri couldn’t help it but to slip in a quick nap~

The 15-minute live show was awesome and fun for the rookies especially with the bubbly and energetic duo, Zher & Cindy.

------------------------------------------------------

Next up, was an Interview “EXAM” and photoshoot with Perempuan magazine

The Rookies spent nearly half a day with the writer and crew of Perempuan magazine.

Judging from Liana’s expression and Carmen scratching her head, the interview questions seemed pretty difficult!

Puteri have done this MANY times, so it was easy for her.

Puteri & Carmen had “Nasi Lemak & Kopi’ O” (TV9) for breakfast!!

More and more interviews with the media….

Overall, the Rookies did very well in conveying the message that women can be part of motorsport. They have inspired many ladies out there. We hope there will be more female racers on the track!

Although they were exhausted, the team stayed fast, fun and fabulous both on and off the tracks. Good job Girls!
