<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->Catch me if you can - and nobody managed to outrace their Porsche.
A trio led by a permanent resident in Singapore - racing under Team Porsche Club Singapore Racing - blitzed past 76 other teams to win the Merdeka Millennium Endurance (MME) Open Class Race in Sepang, Malaysia, recently.
In the process, they set a new record of 308 laps in 12 hours.
The team was led by Malaysian Mok Weng Sun, 41. His co-drivers were Hong Konger-Canadian Darryl O'Young, who is based here, and Australian Alex Davison.
Taking turns driving Mr Mok's Porsche 997 GT3 RSR on the 5.543km track, they bagged a trophy and RM50,000 (S$21,000).
Their win eclipsed last year's record of 288 laps in 12 hours set by a team led by Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir.
The latter, who is chairman of the Sepang Circuit and son of former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, finished second this year, losing by three laps.
In the MME, each turn at the wheel is limited to 75 minutes, and each driver has to put in two to five hours of work.
Said Mr Mok: 'Temperatures in the car can reach 60 deg C.'
To keep fit, he runs 5km four times a week, going up to 60km a week in the month leading up to a race.
Mr Mok, a private fund manager, finished eighth and fourth at the 2006 and 2007 editions respectively. He and his Korean-American homemaker wife have a five-year-old daughter.
He served as motor sport director of Porsche Club Singapore between 2002 and 2006, when he organised driving clinics conducted by professionals in Sepang.
The club has 300 members, of whom seven are now actively racing.
Mr Mok urges more Singaporeans to take to the track.
'Though we lack proper infrastructure here, we can race in Malaysia,' said the man who has competed in 33 races.
'Our team will go all out to defend our title in 2009.'
