ABHIJITH: BIG LEAP IN ROUND 3
The Malaysia Superbike Championship (MSBK) is about to kick off Round 3, with Abhijith Satya Prasad from India, who has made a leap from B class to the fiercely competitive A class.
Abhijith’s journey to A class is not just about speed; it is about stepping up to compete with the best. Thanks to his impressive lap times, he is now moving up the ranks and joining the elite riders for the next two rounds of the championship.
Abhijith shared his thoughts on the upgrade: “I’m really excited about being classified with the fast guys. It’s a significant milestone for me and definitely feels like a step in the right direction. Being part of A class means I’ll be racing against some incredibly talented competitors, and that motivates me to push myself even further.”
When asked about his success, Abhijith pointed to his focus and consistency: “Achieving this goal was all about focus and consistency during Round 2. My main objective was to complete several laps consistently in the 2.15s range. Fortunately, I managed to perform even better than expected, hitting consistent laps in the 2.14s during the last race. It was all about maintaining a clear mindset and sticking to my strategy, which really paid off.”
With Round 3 set for 11-13 October at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit, Abhijith is ready to face new challenges: “In A class, my expectations are to learn as much as possible from those who are quicker than me. I’m looking forward to having some exciting battles on the track and aiming to finish ahead of those who are running similar lap times. My primary goal is to improve my speed in a safe manner, without taking unnecessary risks. I believe that as I grow, I’ll also witness my competitors getting quicker alongside me, which will enhance the overall experience.”
His objectives for the upcoming round are clear: “My main aim, as always, is to have fun. I want to stay focused, learn from every lap I complete, and push my personal boundaries. My target is to be competitive within the mid-pack of the A category and to finish within one minute of the winner. Achieving this would be a great accomplishment for me, and I’m excited to see how I can further develop my skills on the track.”
