Race 1 of the opening round of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP unfolded at the iconic PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit today, where Md Akid Md Shah Khearul Nisian of PS RACING TEAM claimed victory in the YAMAHA Y16ZR Race MasterClass category.

Earlier today during the qualifying session, Ahmad Iqram Danish Ahmad Ghazali of BAN HWA MOTORSPORT clocked the fastest lap at 2’53:262s, giving him a solid advantage for the race. The second-fastest was Mohd Ikram Dani Mohd Esa of LKT RACING at 2’53:286s, followed by Md Akid Md Shah Khearul Nisian of PS RACING TEAM with a time of 2’54:606s.

Iqram took the early lead once the race began, followed by Ikram Dani at P2 and Raiyan Khardanee Md Sanusi of T.K.WONG RACING in P3. The race was intensely competitive, with frequent position changes lap after lap as riders battled fiercely for the top spot.

Among those who stood out in the front group were Raiyan, Muhd Al Syafiq Muhd Al Amirul Zaki of ALL BIKES, and Md Aqil Danial Nasrul of P D BAN HIN RACING, who held their positions amid heavy pressure.

On the final lap, the intensity peaked as the lead pack began overtaking aggressively. Akid emerged from the chaos to cross the finish line first with a time of 17’51:651s.

Akid said, “In the race just now, I focused on maintaining my pace while staying behind the front group to look for opportunities in the corners. I pushed hard on the final lap to go for the win. Honestly, I didn’t expect to win, but I gave it my all—and Alhamdulillah, it paid off today!”

Taking second place was Al Syafiq at 17’51:998s, while Ahmad Jebat Zulkarnain of HK MOTOR secured third at 17’52:035s.
