EX-RACER AT HOME IN MALAYSIA
KUALA LUMPUR: After nearly two decades of building a career racing cars on rough
terrains, retired French rally legend Jean Ragnotti decided to slow down his pace, choosing
to make Malaysia his home a place where he says he can live permanently on vacation.
Ragnotti, 67, who currently lives in Kuala Lumpur with his wife Elisabeth, 66, under
the Malaysia My Second Home programme, said that they fell in love with Malaysia after
coming here for a visit in 1992.
When they returned here in 2008, they decided to make Malaysia their home. Thecouple have a grown-up son who lives and works in Paris.
What we love most about Malaysia is the kindness and warmth of the people. We
also enjoy the weather; its never too hot or too cold here and and we love the food and the
golf courses here, he said through an interpreter.
Ragnotti, a three-time World Rally Championship winner who raced for Renault,
does not speak much English but gets on fine communicating with non-French speakers
using hand gestures. Sometimes, his wife helps him translate.
We have been to every state, except Sabah and Sarawak, and we plan to go there
next year.
Ragnotti said it was always his dream to become a rally driver he was 10 years old.
My parents could not afford to buy me a car. So, when I was 18, I got a job as a
truck driver delivering flowers from Holland to different parts of Europe. I saved up and
bought my first rally car, Renault 8 Gordini.
Despite having retired as a professional rally racer, Ragnotti still competes in friendly
races and drives demo cars for Renault.
