Malaysia’s Top Models Racing for Charity
Team TeleVAS Racing once again invited Corporate Companies to a fund raising Go-Kart charity race to be held on Saturday (24th July 2010). This 1-hour Endurance race washeld at the City Karting Go-Kart Track, Shah Alam Stadium with the aim to raise funds for the Handicapped and Disabled Children of Taman Megah PJ.
