Proton is returning to the Sepang 1000KM endurance race for the first time since 2019 with the Proton S70 R3, whenThe Malaysian carmaker has released footage of the production-class race car undergoing tests at Proton’s test facility, and it is scheduled for shakedown at the Petronas Sepang International Circuit today.
The interior of the S70 R3 appears to be kitted with the expected fitout of equipment for competition cars, namely a rollcage, racing bucket seats, Motec instrumentation, racing driver’s pedal box, competition fuel tank, and more. In the clip, the S70 R3 being tested on the rolling road can be seen to employ a H-pattern manual gearbox.
Powertrain for the S70 R3 has yet to be revealed, though from the audio of the clip the car sounds more like a four-cylinder engine is under its bonnet, rather than the 1.5 litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine as specified for the road-going production car. Being built to MTC specifications for the Sepang 1000KM and the Malaysia Championship Series , this is likely to be the 1.6 litre S4PH naturally aspirated Campro engine which has been built to produce around 200 hp in thePAULTAN10Open roads and closed circuits hold great allure for Mick Chan. Driving heaven to him is exercising a playful chassis on twisty paths; prizes ergonomics and involvement over gadgetry.
