The third appearance was made in 2003 where the team had received a major sponsorship from Asia’s leading and largest low cost carrier, Air Asia Berhad. A roadshow was held by Air Asia at the Sungei Wang Plaza to introduce the team to the public prior to the race wherein it was joined by a few local artists namely Ning Baizura, Fadzley, Hazami, Deja Moss, Ani Mayuni, Syikin and Datin Sheril Aida and hosted by Azhar Sulaiman dan Red 104.9 radio DJ, KC Ismail.
Driving the same humble car again, the 1.6 Toyota Corolla SEG (now painted red) and with the help from an extended number of crews, the team once again emerged 3rd in its Class but this time, the cousins completed the race with driver Khaidi Kamaruddin’s involvement replacing the initial driver, Adian Yein Khalid. The team was left behind by 1.04 seconds due to the problem they had with the broken exhaust mounting at the final hour of the 12-hour race.
