This time Sam Cheng is leading a group of off road drivers instead of on road to Malaysia. It took about 3 hours drive from Singapore to a permanent buggy track in Malacca on the West coast of Malaysia. It was a good outing for the Xray XB8 and team RB Singapore, after not racing off road for about 5 years this was a good experience.
