Eight teams have already been selected for the grand final taking place March 7-8. These workshop teams will have their vehicle, bench and component skills tested in a race against the clock. Each team must also take a written exam and any wrong answers will be converted into time demerits which are added to the team’s time for the “hands-on” mechanical section of the competition. The winners will be presented with their cash, certificate and trophy awards on March 9 at the FAWOAM convention dinner.
Automechanika Kuala Lumpur is one of 12 Automechanika fairs held in Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Africa. For further information about Automechanika Kuala Lumpur, please visit www.automechanika-kl.com / www.automechanika.com or email: [email protected].
