1. 1.1km hurdle driving

Contestants have to drive in a 1.1km long track where there will be tables and chairs lying around (International Olympic Committee has yet to confirm whether there will be humans sitting on the chairs). The fastest driver wins, extra bonus for drivers who don't hit any "hurdles".

Chances of winning (for Malaysia) : 98 %
