National Formula 3 driver Jazeman Jaafar is hoping to makes an impression on his debut in the Formula Renault 3.5 World Series Championship which starts early next month at the Monza Circuit, Italy.
The 21-year old driver, who became a runner-up in the British F3 International Series last year, said that he needs to learn more in the single seater category championship to hone his driving skills in facing more arduous races in the future.
"I'm still in the learning process in handling sophisticated cars such as Formula One (F1) cars and I need to learn new skills to upgrade my driving skills in the future," he told reporters during the Petronas Motorsports Demo Run at the Petronas Twin Towers, here, Sunday.
Jazeman said he had gained valuable experience during the training session to prepares himself for new challenges.
"I am not putting a specific target for the Formula Renault Championship since this year is my debut but I hope to produce good results," said Jazeman, who is also Petronas' Driver Development Programme Ambassador.
Meanwhile, Petronas Motorsports general manager, Anita Azrina Abdul Aziz is confident that the young driver could perform well in his debut on the Formula Renault 3.5 World Series Championship this year.
"Jazeman is a talented boy, but he needs to hone his skills first before he can compete in the more difficult tournaments.
"We also hope that the Malaysians will give unwavering support to Jazeman, and also to our local motorsport industry," she added.
The demo run was held by Petronas Motorsports in conjunction with the upcoming Malaysian Formula One (F1) Grand Prix which will be held at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) from March 22-24.
