For the first time ever, the PETRONAS Adventure Team will participate in Borneo Safari 2003 after participating twice in the Rainforest Challenge.

Represented by Voo Ken Yin (driver) and Joseph Sin (co-driver) in Car No. 1 while Car No. 2 sees Wong Kok Phin (driver) and Lee Yun Sung (co-driver), both vehicles to be used are Toyota Landcruiser BJ40 (old but they are the toughest amongst other models.)

PAT Team Manager Encik Faruk Rahman said, "This is the first time PAT will participate in Borneo Safari after participating twice in the Rainforest Challenge. Borneo Safari participants can expect to compete for eight days and travel 1,000 kilometres in an off-road adventure in Sabah. Special stages (SS) in various sectors are designed to test the driver and co-driver to see how they fare in extreme conditions."

This event is organised by Kinabalu Four Wheel Drive Club (KFWDC) and assisted by Sabah Tourism Board and Malaysia Tourism Board. The event begins on 26th October and ends 2nd November 2003:
