“Visit Malaysia” – new sponsor of the ATS Formula 3 Cup

Nabil Jeffri is a proactive ambassador for his home country Malaysia. Currently second-placed in the overall ranking of the ATS Formula 3 Cup, the 20-year old has been officially endorsing the popular holiday destination, which also hosts the Formula 1 Malaysia Grand Prix at Sepang, for quite a long time. The highest class of Formula racing is a major goal for the young talent from the capital Kuala Lumpur. He has been successfully contesting the ATS Formula 3 Cup and is a contender for the 2014 title. Nabil Jeffri’s performance and the quality of the German Formula 3 have convinced the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board to support the ATS Formula 3 Cup as a sponsor. The campaign will kick off at Nürburgring this weekend.

Malaysia, truly Asia – a bubbling, bustling melting-pot of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony. The multiculturalism has made Malaysia a gastronomical paradise and home to hundreds of colourful festivals. It is no wonder that the people love celebrating and socialising. As a people, Malaysians are very relaxed, warm and friendly. One of Malaysia’s key attractions is its extreme contrasts which further add to this theme of ‘diversity’. Towering skyscrapers look down upon bustling night markets, while five-star hotels sit just metres away from ancient reefs. Rugged mountains reach dramatically for the sky while their rainforest-clad slopes sweep down to floodplains teeming with forest life. Cool highland hideaways roll down to warm, sandy beaches and rich, humid mangroves.

Malaysia – country of motorsports
Motorsports fans will be familiar with Malaysia as a Formula 1 destination, attracting millions of TV viewers as well as spectators at the track. Many of them try to plan a vacation around the event. Malaysia is among the top 10 most visited holiday destinations after all. Nabil Jeffri and the series he is currently contesting aims to make even more people aware of the beauty of the country. “We are very pleased and proud of the trust put into the ATS Formula 3 Cup,” says Head of Organisation Sebastian Wittrisch. “It is a big commitment and a big support on our way into a positive future for the German Formula 3.”
