Come on guys you know all of us would "take" a job testing honda civics and burning rubber on someone elses dime. I wouldnt care what cars or where, just as long as it was a blast. Or maybe thats just me and myself...I would do it for peanuts.

it is pretty difficult to drive a proton round the track, because besides driving, you would have to hold door panels so it doesn't fall out, and you'll probably end up sitting on the floor cuz the seats broke... that would be a real challenge images/smilies/lol.gif

btw, proton doesn't test their cars at sepang, they have their own test track images/smilies/wink.gif
