CHEE YEN GEARED UP FOR A NEW SEASON
Khoo Chee Yen of Hiap Aik Suzuki Racing Team will hit the circuit in the MSBK1000 B class in the season opener of Malaysia Superbike Championship (MSBK) which will be held at the Sepang International Circuit from 30th– 31st July 2022.
The Suzuki GSX-1000R rider fondly known as CY Khoo bagged the winning trophy at the end of Round 2 when he scored 66 points overall with two wins on the top spot and one win at the second spot. In Round 1, Chee Yen took the second spot with a total of 65 points.
CY Khoo clocked in his fastest at 2’17:017 last season.
Additionally, Hiap Aik Suzuki Racing Team takes on a new name for its team – Mobilub Suzuki Racing Team (MRST) with Mobilub, a long-term title sponsor onboard.
Commenting on the upcoming race, CY Khoo said, “With more than 6 months off-season, the team engaged the AS25 Academy to design training programmes that helped us refine our riding techniques as well maintain our fitness level. So far, we have come a long way with the programme, thanks to Mr Azlan Shah.”
“As for the machine, we definitely have new racing parts and setup which we hope would help the team with an enhanced performance and an improved lap-time.”
With many experienced riders onboard for the MSBK1000 class, CY Khoo is determined to get back into the racing rhythm and hopes to see more riders rise up to the challenge.
“The challenge for this season, I presume will still be the same. I hope to clock more distance and find the right setup that would help me achieve my goals. My fastest lap time in the previous season was approximately 2’15s and it was my personal best before the break of the pandemic. While I hope to obtain my old timing, the aim is to have a more consistent winning and a better lap time throughout the new season.”
