As the F1 community prepares for the start of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship season next month in Europe, the organisers of the Singapore Grand Prix have announced that the event is cancelled. Until today, it was uncertain of the street race would be run but the decision has been taken in view of continuing nationwide restrictions on construction and business activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“While there are still more than 3 months to go before the scheduled race on September 20, we regret to announce that we will be unable to proceed with the race due to the prohibitions imposed on access and construction of the event venue required for a street race to be held in the city,” the organisers said, adding that ‘confirmation of the cancellation will also give certainty to our fans, ticket holders, and commercial partners’.

F1 SINGAPORE GP

Insufficient time, besides safety concerns
It was explained that the limitations, which continue to remain in place, would make building and construction work of the circuit unable to take place. Normally, such work starts in May each year as the infrastructure for the circuit, especially safety aspects, is a temporary one created specifically for the event which has been run annually since 2008.

Ticket holders will receive automatic refunds within 30 business days but if they prefer, there is also the option of retaining their ticket for the 2020 event.

7 rounds cancelled
To date, 7 rounds of the 2020 championship have been cancelled. They are the Australian GP, Monaco GP, French GP, Netherlands  GP, Singapore GP, Azerbaijan GP and Japan GP. There were originally 22 rounds in this year’s calendar.

Revised 2020 F1 calendar for Europe

The championship will have its opening round in Europe on July 5, starting with two weekends in Austria. The organisers will try to have at least 15 – 18 races before the end of the year. However, apart from strict health-related procedures for the participants, the races will also be run without spectators and rely largely on TV and internet broadcasts.

2020 Formula 1 World Championship will finally start in July with first 8 rounds confirmed

For those who are starting their journey into the working world after graduation, having personal transport might be something they have been looking forward to. To help graduates acquire a new car,

UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd (UMWT), in collaboration with Maybank Islamic Berhad, has a special financing package just for graduates who wish to purchase a new Toyota Vios, Yaris or Avanza.

Toyota Vios Yaris Avanza

The Murabahah Vehicle Term Financing-i (MVTF-i), in accordance with the Murabahah principles, will provide an additional financing option to the graduates besides the Islamic Hire-Purchase (HP) financing in accordance with Al Ijarah Thumma Al-Bai (AITAB). This financing package is only available in Peninsular Malaysia.

Murabahah financing also follows Islamic financing principles and the combined amount financed can be up to 100% with takaful contribution of Takaful bundling and other costs (legal costs, stamp duty, etc).

“At UMW Toyota Motor, we are always looking for the best ways to work with our business partners for our customers to own a brand new Toyota vehicle. With this new financing package, graduates will be able to acquire a Toyota Vios, Yaris or Avanza as the financing package helps to make the downpayment more affordable. The support we offer will also make the ownership experience enjoyable for many years to come,” said Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor.

The financing is available to graduates (degree-holders) who are aged between 21 and 30 years old and are currently employed. They should be earning at least RM3,000 a month and have been employed for a minimum of 6 months. For those with less than 6 months of employment, their parents can act as guarantors (subject to Terms & Conditions).

Should their income be less than RM3,000 but more than RM2,000, it is still possible to apply for the financing package provided their parents (as guarantors) have a household income of RM5,000 or more.

Toyota service centre
Full aftersales support is available from the network of authorised Toyota service centres nationwide.

The Toyota Vios, Yaris and Avanza are among the best-selling models in the non-national segment in the Malaysian market. With their compact size, ease of driving, economical performance from 1.5-litre engines, and low cost of maintenance, they would be ideal for those who are just starting out in the working world.

Features such as the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and of course standard items like airbags and ABS ensure that safety aspects are covered.

For peace of mind, the Manufacturer’s Warranty is 5 years and as there is no limit on mileage travelled, this means that warranty coverage is for the full period of time. Additionally, if insurance coverage is purchased from UMW Toyota Motor’s authorized dealers, owners receive free membership to 24SEVEN Road Assist breakdown and emergency service assistance available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Authorized Toyota dealers nationwide can provide more information or visit the Toyota Malaysia website at Toyota.com.my.
