Round 3 of the MAM Malaysia Superbike Championship 2026 got underway today at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit. The focal point of Friday’s action in the MSBK250 B category was the impressive debut of Ahmad Fazli Sham Ahmad Walat. Riding for AFS46 RACING PROJECT BY BRAAAP, Fazli quickly familiarized himself with the track and his new machine, securing the fastest time overall in the Combined Practice sessions. Participating new racing category often requires a lengthy adjustment period, but Fazli found a comfortable operating window almost immediately. His standout moment came early in Free Practice 1. On just his third lap out of 12, he posted a time of 2’29.773s, reaching a top speed of 133.23kph. This lap proved unbeatable for the remainder of the day. In Free Practice 2, he continued his steady form, topping the session on his tenth and final lap with a 2’30.868s, proving his initial speed was no fluke. Behind him, a steady rhythm was established by Kabileh Rajini Krishnan of RACR CASTROL POWER1. Kabilesh secured second place overall with a 2’32.768s in FP1, hitting a top speed of 130.62kph. He followed this up with a consistent showing in the afternoon, logging a 2’33.074s during Free Practice 2 to maintain a strong hold on the runner-up spot for the day. Rounding out the top three was Ng Wei Shyang from MAGIC PAPAYA RACING TEAM, who logged a 2’36.070s during his ninth lap in the morning session. Fazli commented, “If you look at today, it’s actually my first time competing in the MSBK250 category. I was placed in Group B, and even though I saw my lap time was the fastest, I am still not satisfied because I genuinely feel I can go even faster.” “The bike feels different from what I am used to, and stepping into this new class, I realize I need more mileage and a faster adaptation period to truly extract its maximum potential. It is a steep learning curve, and I feel a mix of frustration and eagerness because I know there is more speed to be found.” “God willing, I will give it my absolute best moving forward. Right now, my main target isn’t just about winning this group. It is to fight against my own lap times while also trying to keep pace with the Group A riders. That is where I want to be.” TOP 5 FASTEST – COMBINED PRACTICE 1. AHMAD FAZLI SHAM AHMAD WALAT – AFS46 RACING PROJECT BY BRAAAP (2’29.773s) 2.

The BERJAYA SOMPO YAMAHA R15M RACE ELITES category delivered one of the most closely contested sessions today at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit, as Round 3 of the 2026 MAM Malaysia Superbike Championship got underway. By the end of Friday’s Combined Practice, less than a tenth of a second separated the top two riders, setting the stage for a highly competitive weekend. Leading the timesheets was Ashraff Zaquan Bin Zainal Raif. Representing GTMAX MOTORS, Ashraff set his benchmark early in Free Practice 1. On his sixth lap out of seven, he posted a quick time of 2’49.508s, reaching a top speed of 117.72kph. This morning effort proved to be just enough to hold off the rest of the field for the remainder of the day. The afternoon session saw a strong push from Muhd Ikram Dani of BERJAYA MEGA. After finishing fourth in FP1, Ikram found significant improvements in Free Practice 2. He topped the second session on his third lap with a 2’49.580s and a top speed of 117.67kph. Despite his impressive pace, Ikram missed the overall top spot by a mere 0.072 seconds, settling for second place in the Combined Practice standings. Also showing strong progress in the afternoon was Ahmad Jebat Zulkarnain from BLH RACING TEAM. He logged a solid 2’50.894s in Free Practice 2, moving him up to third place overall. Raja Abdurraqib Raja Norfatihah of KAVIN MOTOR held onto fourth place based on his morning FP1 time of 2’51.340s, while Muhd Ali Imran Mohd Dzul Hijri representing BOON HUA MOTOR rounded out the top five with a 2’52.864s effort in the second session. Ashraff shared, “Alhamdulillah, I managed to secure the fastest lap time today, but it was honestly far from easy. When I saw how close the times were between me and Ikram, it really sank in just how intense the competition is this weekend. Looking at the field today, there are so many talented and incredibly fast riders out there pushing the limits.” “A gap of less than a tenth of a second is basically nothing. It means anyone can take the lead in the blink of an eye. For Qualifying and Race 1 tomorrow, I feel a healthy weight of pressure to maintain this momentum.” “I have to stay calm, trust my machine, and I am determined to give everything I’ve got on the track. I truly hope that tomorrow’s efforts pay off, that I can keep my nerves in check, and that victory goes my way.” TOP 5 FASTEST – COMBINED PRACTICE 1.

Fresh off a breakthrough performance at Round 2 earlier this month, HRM MOTUL RACING TEAM’s Md Irfan Haykhal Amidi enters Round 3 of the MAM Malaysia Superbike Championship 2026 at PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit this weekend with newfound momentum and a drive for victory in the MSBK250 A class. Round 2 delivered a crucial turning point in Haykhal’s 2026 campaign. Having secured double runner-up finishes during the season opener behind overall points leader Irfan Ardiansyah of NWN CZ1 SCK RACING TEAM, the young Malaysian finally broke through in the Race 1. Mastering the conditions with exceptional composure, Haykhal claimed his maiden victory of the season. He backed up the performance with P2 finish in Race 2, cementing his position as a primary contender for the championship title at his home circuit. Haykhal shared both his pride and the competitive hunger that drives him heading into the second half of the season, “The rain in Race 1 actually played right into our hands because it gave me complete confidence in the bike’s setup. During the race, I stayed patient behind the front-runners early on, felt out the track’s grip levels, and when the timing was right, I pushed hard to take P1. “ “Standing on the top step of the podium in front of the home fans meant everything to me and the entire HRM MOTUL RACING TEAM. In Race 2, I made a small mistake on the final lap while fighting for the lead and ran wide onto the grass, which cost us the win. I was naturally disappointed not to take a double victory, but staying on the podium kept our championship momentum alive.” The rivalry between Haykhal and Irfan has rapidly developed into the signature headline of the 2026 MSBK250 A season. With the experienced Indonesian rider out in front, Haykhal views their battles not as a hurdle, but as a vital catalyst for his ongoing evolution as a professional racer. “Competing against someone as sharp and consistent as Irfan forces me to elevate every single aspect of my race craft. The three-week break since Round 2 gave our team valuable time to analyze the data, recharge, and refine our approach.” “My confidence is higher than ever right now. Heading into Round 3 this weekend, our goal is to minimize mistakes, push for the top step of the podium in both races, and close down the championship point gap.” Can Haykhal capitalize on his momentum and take control in the races this weekend? Or will Irfan strike back? Round 3 will deliver the answer.
Stepping into the arena of the MAM Malaysia Superbike Championship is no small feat for any newcomer. For Ng Wei Shyang of Magic Papaya Racing Team, the 2026 season marks an exciting chapter as he makes his debut in the MSBK250 B category. Transitioning from standard training to the demands of full championship racing brought a mix of anticipation and nerves. “At the beginning of the season, I was quite anxious about how it would go,” Wei Shyang admitted. “Although most of my training mileage is done on a 250cc machine, riding it on a full-scale championship track is entirely different. It requires carrying significantly more speed.” Despite the steep learning curve, his performance on paper has been remarkably consistent. Across both Round 1 and Round 2 at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit, Wei Shyang secured third-place finishes in every race, establishing a reliable baseline. While the compact three-rider grid in his class means he is regularly working to close the gap to the frontrunners, Wei Shyang maintains a grounded perspective on his achievements. “The truth is, with three riders in our category, my core focus isn’t just the podium spot, but actively closing the gap to the group in front and working toward fighting them wheel-to-wheel.” For the rookie, the biggest eye-opener has been witnessing the sheer corner-entry velocity of the leading riders. Refining his technique through demanding sections like Turns 5, 7, 11, and 12 remains a primary objective, as mastering these high-speed transitions requires a completely different approach compared to handling heavier 600cc lines. Heading into Round 3 this weekend, Magic Papaya Racing Team aims to introduce setup adjustments to make the bike even more competitive. Physically, Wei Shyang has maintained a rigorous regimen focused on strength and endurance during the break, while mentally staying calm and learning to embrace every emotion that comes with race day. Furthermore, navigating PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit’s notoriously unpredictable weather demands absolute adaptability. “We have our Dunlop rain tyres ready,” Wei Shyang said. “We had a chance to test them out last round, and even though conditions weren’t fully wet, those tyres gave us a tremendous amount of confidence.” With a clear plan for Sepang circuit’s tricky corners and a bike tailored to his style, Wei Shyang enters Round 3 ready to turn two rounds of learning into real progress.
At the MAM Malaysia Superbike Championship 2026, we captured a rather intense moment between FCC – HONDA PHILIPPINES INC RACING TEAM rider Carlsen Jacob Solis and his coach, Malaysian rider Mohd Ramdan Rosli. In the paddock, Carlsen looked fiercely serious, heavily frowning as his coach spoke. Fearing a mid-practice meltdown, we showed Carlsen the photo and asked exactly what they were arguing about. “Haha! I wasn’t arguing with Coach at all, and I certainly wasn’t trying to look scary!” Carlsen laughed. “Coach was breaking down exactly which turns I needed to attack to improve my lap time. I was just concentrating incredibly hard because I didn’t want to miss a single drop of his advice. Honestly, I was just praying I wouldn’t forget it all by the very next session!” Behind that fierce concentration lies a deep, emotional bond. Reflecting on their two years together, Carlsen’s tone shifted to genuine gratitude. “He has completely transformed my pace, my consistency, and my race craft. There is still a massive mountain to learn, but he pushes me relentlessly and builds my confidence from the ground up.” While Ramdan is known for his strict track demeanor, Carlsen sees another side. “On track, he’s dead serious because he wants greatness for me. Off track, he is remarkably relaxed. He believes in me even on my absolute worst days, ensuring I grow as both a rider and a person.” When asked for one final message to his mentor, Carlsen said, “I don’t say it nearly enough, but thank you for always believing in me, especially when I make mistakes. I am deeply grateful for your endless positivity. And… I’m truly sorry if I sometimes give you extra grey hairs!”
Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA delivered a strong performance to secure victory in Race 2 of the MSBK1000 A category during Round 2 of the MAM Malaysia Superbike Championship 2026 at PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit. The race got off with Azlan Shah Kamaruzaman of AMI SUZUKI MOTORSPORT and Kasma made their moves from the front row, but it was Mohammad Adenanta Putra of ASTRA HONDA RACING TEAM who emerged ahead to take control of the opening lap. Adam Norrodin of AMI SUZUKI MOTORSPORT slotted into fourth position, with Abhijith Satya Prasad of RACEHUB RACING TEAM completing the early top-five order. Adenanta maintained his advantage into Lap 2, with Kasma staying close behind and immediately searching for an opportunity to challenge. Despite an early attempt from the Yamaha rider, Adenanta defended his position strongly to keep the lead. However, Kasma’s pace continued to improve as the race progressed. On Lap 3, the Malaysian rider produced the fastest lap of the race at 2’08.231s before making a decisive move on Adenanta to take over the lead. From there, Kasma began building his advantage, setting another fastest lap on Lap 4 with a stunning 2’07.638s as he looked to break away from the chasing pack. Behind the leader, Adenanta continued his pursuit while Adam maintained third place ahead of Azlan, who remained within striking distance and constantly searching for an opportunity to move into the podium positions. Abhijith continued his consistent run inside the top five. By Lap 6, Kasma had extended his lead, with Adenanta trailing by 2.755s. Despite pushing hard, the Indonesian rider was unable to close the gap, although he recorded an impressive top speed of 291.90kph on Lap 9 in his attempt to challenge for victory. On final lap, Kasma remained composed at the front while Adenanta held second position and Adam faced intense pressure from his own teammate Azlan. Adam successfully defended his position until the chequered flag, securing the final podium spot. Kasma crossed the finish line victorious with a winning time of 21’29.916s, followed by Adenanta in second at 21’33.136s, while Adam completed the podium in third with 21’35.977s. Kasma stated, “Alhamdulillah, winning was definitely my target coming into this race. We knew Adenanta was not at 100% yet, especially after the injury he suffered during the Suzuka 8 Hours, but I see this as a good training opportunity for both of us as we prepare for ARRC Round 4.” “During the race, I wasn’t able to push as much as I wanted, and my pace was not quite at the level of my usual lap times. However, Alhamdulillah, I’m still very grateful to have secured the victory. The race was a good test for me, and it gave me valuable feedback on where we need to improve.” “A huge thank you to my team for their hard work, dedication and continuous support throughout the weekend. This victory gives us great confidence and motivation as we continue preparing for the next challenge ahead.” TOP 5 FASTEST – RACE 2 1.

Starting from the front row of the grid, Santhiran made a strong launch off the line to immediately take control of Race 2, leading the field into the opening corners ahead of Kamarul Izad Ishak of KHSRT and Jeff Chong of B. A TUNING. However, the race quickly saw changes in the order after Kamarul and Martin Noh of FGRT PROJECT ONE crashed out, reshaping the battle at the front.

Santhiran shared, “I was quite nervous actually because previously I did not have the best pace in dry track conditions. Last round, it was wet all the way, so that was my week. This weekend, qualifying went really well as I went out early and managed to secure pole position in MSBK1000 B.” “Today, I was nervous because the weather was perfect and the faster riders were doing 2’15s and 2’16s. I thought they would catch me, but my target was to get a good launch and have a strong first two laps before settling into my own rhythm.” “Thankfully, with God’s blessings and the support from my family, those first two laps were fantastic. After that, I had clear track ahead of me and could focus on maintaining my pace. I saw some incidents happening behind, but for me it became a smooth and enjoyable race. I am extremely grateful to my team and everyone who supported me throughout this weekend. This result means a lot to us.” TOP 5 FASTEST – RACE 2 1.

My target before Race 2 was to try and maintain a 2’10s pace, but it was not easy because I had some movement from the rear tyre and also some moments with the front tyre. I had to manage the bike carefully, stay focused and keep improving my lap times every time I went out on track.” “I kept pushing as hard as I could and tried to maintain my rhythm until the end. Winning this race feels really special because it was not an easy one. I’m very happy with the result, and I want to thank my team, my mechanics and everyone who has supported me. Their hard work and encouragement gave me the confidence to fight for this victory.” TOP 5 FASTEST – RACE 2 1. THANAT LAOONGPLIO – HONDA RACING THAILAND (22’06.296s) 2.

It was an incredible battle because everyone was pushing at the limit, but I believed in my strategy and never gave up. “I’m extremely grateful to my team and all my mechanics for their endless hard work, support and confidence in me.

My focus was to stay calm, manage the race and avoid making any mistakes. Once I found a good rhythm, I concentrated on building the gap little by little without taking unnecessary risks.” “Huge credit goes to everyone in FCC – HONDA PHILIPPINES INC RACING TEAM because they’ve worked tirelessly throughout the weekend to keep improving the bike. Every adjustment we made gave me more confidence on track, and without their dedication this result wouldn’t have been possible. This isn’t just my victory, it’s a reward for the whole team.
