The CISCO Racing team was created in 2021. It started when team owner Rabin Nijhar met with the 16 time national rally champion Karamjit Singh “The Flying Sikh” and heard about the hard times that he had fallen on. After listening to his story and seeing where others had only seen risk, Rabin began to see opportunity.

Opportunity is not just about getting Karamjit back on the podium but to deliver a win to the Malaysian people during these trying times. To show the Rakyat that Malaysia will come back stronger than ever and with unbroken resolve. It was with that goal in mind the CISCO Racing team was formed. Now armed with wins in 2022, we are here to reignite hope, inspire people to persevere, and future generations of Malaysian sports men and women to set their sights high. Nothing is impossible.

Do join us on our journey.

  • Karamjit Singh, also known as “The Flying Sikh”, is Asia’s most successful rally motorsport driver. He has won multiple championships both locally and internationally, and has been ranked number one in the Asia Pacific region. Karamjit is among Malaysia’s top sportsmen and was Malaysian Sportsman of the year in 2002.

    In 1985, Karamjit made his debut in the Castrol Daylight Rally, in a Peugeot 404 belonging to his father. The next few years were spent in competition racking up class wins. In 1988, he joined the Petronas Eon Racing Team (PERT). By 1993, he triumphed with his first major outright win driving a 4WD Proton Iswara Turbo in the Malaysian Rally Championship.

    In 2005 he left PERT, when it was disbanded, to compete as a privateer and then joined the Proton R3 Rally team from 2011 until 2015, winning many rallies in Malaysia and beyond.

    When Geely bought over Proton in 2016, the motorsport division was frozen, which pushed him to leave the team and obtain his own car, finding sponsors independently to support his rally racing until 2018.

    Rally racing is an expensive sport where a single race in Asia Pacific can cost upwards of MYR 400,000. Without sponsorship the cost of rally racing become difficult to meet.

    By 2020, when the COVID pandemic hit, lockdowns resulted in cancellations of rally races. For the next two years, no rally races were held in South-East Asia. Without races, sponsorship dwindled.

    In 2021, he was introduced to Rabin Nijhar of CISCO (M) Sdn. Bhd. who saw this as the Great Malaysian Story. Together they formed the CISCO Racing team and went on to win three out of four races in the Indonesian Rally Championship and also the title of the Malaysian Rally Champion in 2022.

    His best performance to date was in 2002, when he achieved the rare and historic feat of winning the World Championship in the FIA Production Car World Rally Championship (PWRC) on his first attempt, as well as the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship (APRC). He was the first Asian to ever become world champion in a motorsport’s world championship series.

  • Jagdev has been directly involved in numerous facets of motor racing and rallying since adolescence, starting his involvement at an exceptionally young age. Raised in a family that has an extensive background and history in racing, he started with race car preparation and team management, supporting the participation of his father in the national racing championships whilst still in primary school.
    He obtained his driving license upon reaching the legal age of 17, in 1985 and immediately applied for a Competition license, entering his first rally as a driver in the Castrol Daylight Rally 1986.
    Jagdev continued to both drive and co-drive for several years, racking up category wins before ultimately deciding to take up rally co-driving semi-professionally in 1995 when he was offered a partnership alongside Australian driver Russell Palmer and team Silverstone – Suzuki.
    This shift proved to be a judicious decision as Jagdev is currently Malaysia’s number one rally co-driver and he has had the distinction of being contracted by several top teams in the Asia Pacific region.
    Jagdev has partnered drivers from the UK, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Scotland, India and Malaysia.
    He has competed in many events overseas, including the Asia Pacific Rally Championship and several World Rally Championship events.
    He is a 8 times Malaysian National Rally Champion and 3 times Malaysian National 4×4 Rally Champion.  Jagdev was first entered as Karamjit Singh’s co-driver in the 1997 APRC China Rally and has gone on to win most of his championships alongside Karamjit.
    Coming back to rallying in 2022 after short sabbatical, Jagdev is back to winning again.
