Masih ingatkah lagi zaman 80an di mana perlumbaan di Pulau Pinang dilangsungkan di tepi laut, Jalan Gurney. Atau semasa Litar Batu Tiga dipenuhi pengunjung setiap minggu sehingga ke lewat pagi. Di zaman itu kegairahan rakyat disanjungi dan dipupuk menjadi gaya hidup sihat. Beribu-ribu peminat dapat mengikuti perkembangan teknologi dan ramai yang menceburi bidang seni reka hasil daripada minat dan keghairahan kejenteraan.

Huh? Corporate responsibility in motoring? |
|
“How much has the private sector done to counter the problems which we see on our roads today? Whether they build highways, sports rims or cars, some customers will use them for racing or speeding – they know this.
