AFIF’S SETUP DELIVERED PACE IN SEPANG
The MSBK250 A category at the Round 2 of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, held today at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit, saw Ahmad Afif Amran of SUPERFAST JRT X RAPIDO topped the combined practice sessions.
In Practice 1, Afif’s teammate, Md Akid Aziz led the pack with the fastest lap time of 2’59:928s. Dwiki Hardhiana Suparta of MAEZTRO NWN SCK HONDA RACING placed second with a time of 3’02.299s, followed closely by Afif in third at 3’02.990s.
In Practice 2, Afif topped the session after improving his lap time to 2’27:000s. This put him ahead of Irfan Ardiansyah of MAEZTRO NWN SCK HONDA RACING, who set a time of 2’27.453s in second place. His teammate, Akid placed third after clocking a lap time of 2’27:624s.
The combined results saw Afif as the fastest overall, followed by Irfan Ardiansyah in second and Akid in third.
Afif commented, “In Practice 1 earlier, the weather this morning wasn’t very favourable, it rained heavily. We had to go out anyway to collect data, in case there’s a wet race at the Sepang Circuit, so we would already have data for this weekend. And in Practice 2, I struggled a bit at the beginning, but I worked with the team to adjust the suspension better, and I tried again on the last lap. Alhamdulillah, my lap time improved. However, it’s still not enough if we want to target a competitive race pace. Tomorrow’s qualifying, we’ll try once more with the suspension, because we haven’t been able to get it like we did in Round 1. This time, it’s been quite a struggle.”
SIC AND TWMR WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO AEON CREDIT (M) BERHAD FOR THE SUPPORT RENDERED THIS WEEKEND DURING AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP.
