After the combined results, Chi Chuen emerged as the fastest overall, with Jeff in second and Alvinderjitsingh in third.
Chi Chuen commented, “It’s my first year joining MSBK, but I have raced in Malaysia in another series before. For me, MSBK is really challenging and very competitive, and I’ve learned a lot here. I’m happy to have achieved a good result in Free Practice. In FP1, I was in second place while still getting used to the Dunlop tyres, which feel very good. In FP2, we tried some setup changes with the mechanics, and the team did a really good job. I was able to push a bit more and set a 2’16s lap. For tomorrow, I hope to maintain a similar momentum. My aim is to learn, not necessarily to be number one. If I can learn from more experienced riders, I’m already happy.”
