Sepang, Malaysia – The Rally of Sepang, held in conjunction with the Malaysia Festival of Speed 2025, brought not only high-octane action but also a strong focus on safety with the presence of the Zero Car.

For this edition, the 0 Car was driven by Mr. Shah Bandi with co-driver Haji Suhaimi Saiko, both experienced rally figures trusted with the important task of ensuring the stage was ready for competition.

Known as the final course-opening vehicle, the 0 Car runs through the rally stage moments before the first competitor begins. Its role is crucial – simulating competition pace to confirm that the route is clear, marshals are ready, and spectators are safely positioned.
