TEUKU, CHAMPION BY CONSISTENCY

In racing, winning every race is not the only path to glory. For Teuku Irfan Affandy of TRIPLE A GARAGE, crowned MSBK1000 B Overall Champion in the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, success came from consistency, determination, and pure love for the sport. Teuku did not sweep every podium, but he was always finishing strong and keeping his championship hopes alive. With one triumph, a handful of podiums, and consistent top five finishes, he steadily accumulated the points needed for the championship. Every finish, every lap, every point counted, a testament to his discipline and unwavering focus. Teuku’s triumph highlights a truth often overlooked in racing. It is not always about dominating every race. It is about passion, perseverance, and the determination to cross the finish line, race after race. His approach of racing smart, finishing strong, and staying consistent made the difference, proving that a champion is not just fast, but resilient, committed, and in love with the sport. Teuku Irfan Affandy showed that consistency and heart can be just as powerful as sheer speed, earning him the well-deserved title of MSBK1000 B Overall Champion.

AZROY, THE MIND OF A CHAMPION

Not all champions are loud. Some win by being exact. Calculated. Unshakably consistent. In the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, Azroy Hakeem Anuar let his riding do the talking. Racing for HONDA RACING MALAYSIA, he built his campaign with clean, controlled, intelligent, and relentlessly fast riding. No theatrics. No unnecessary risks. Just clinical execution. Corner after corner, his technical precision shone. Even amid fierce competition, Azroy stayed calm, adapting and striking with consistent lap times that kept him ahead. Under championship pressure, he remained composed, proving that titles are won through consistency, not chaos. Fresh from the global stage at MotoGP Malaysia on 26 October 2025, Azroy returned to domestic competition sharper, faster, and more confident. At PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit for Round 4, he dominated both Race 1 and Race 2, showcasing the upgraded race craft earned from international experience. And when the season drew its final breath, there was only one rightful conclusion. Azroy Hakeem Anuar is the 2025 MSBK1000 A Overall Champion. Not by luck. Not by chance. But by mastery. A champion who wins by being better, every lap, every round, every moment.

Coming into today, I knew everyone would go all out to end the season with strong results. With three laps to go, I told myself it was time to attack. I had excellent pace this round.

KASMA – ALWAYS WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK

  Round 4 of the AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Sepang International Circuit this weekend. Can Kasma Daniel of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA ward off the threats of his closest contender Azroy Hakeem Anuar of HONDA RACING MALAYSIA to claim the championship title in the MSBK1000 A race category? With only 1-point difference between the duo, the pressure is definitely on, on who will grace the charts as the season’s champion. Kasma currently leads with 130 points after bagging two wins this season and four other podium-finish but Azroy on the other hands sits at the 2nd spot with a total of 129 points after sweeping four wins and 1 podium-finish at third place. Both equally competitive, the season finale is sure to stir the circuit ground up with their heated performances. Throughout the season, both the riders have showcased their strengths and dominance on the circuit ground. After all, Sepang circuit being home to both the Malaysian riders, the challenge has never been about the circuit ground but more so of skills versus right opportunities to strike. The either-or situation saw Kasma and Azroy engaging in a rivalry that not only challenged each other to be better but also inspired others to make the most out of their experiences. Between the duo, will Kasma flex his muscles further in taking down Azroy or will Azroy continue flaunting his expertise to defeat Kasma? Kasma said, “Between Azroy and myself, I definitely think that we both have the relevant experiences aboard the 1000cc machine as well on the grounds of Sepang however, there are the challenges of the differing riding techniques and skills between us. He may have an added advantage that I may not have but that is alright because, I am all about doing my best to ensure that my performance is not compromised. I know for sure that Azroy can take me down in a blink of an eye but my aim is to make the most of my game and ensure that I am on top of whatever circumstances, keeping my fingers crossed that my machine does not give any problems.” “When the season began, I was pretty confident thinking that I could score the big sweep once again but at the same time, I also knew that Azroy was not going to go easy on me because we are alike and we have the same kind of wit and grit. So, the expectations versus outcome have been a little different for me especially with the 1-point difference that speak volumes. I believe the final round will be not only highly competitive but also will be very exciting for both of us. The unique thing about MSBK1000 race category is definitely the part where group A and B rides at the same time. It injects a different kind of challenge that comes with a different kind of learning curve. For next season, there are no plans lined up as yet but given a chance, I will surely take up the challenge. More so, if I lose to Azroy this season, next season will be a season for a comeback.”  

RAUDA WILL GO FOR IT, ONCE AGAIN!

  Round 4 of the AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Sepang International Circuit this weekend. Can Muhd Rauda Tul Razman complete the season with another Weekend Champion win in the MSBK1000 B race category? In Round 3, Rauda was exceptional when he scored a win in Race 1 and second place in Race 2. It was quite a performance especially coming from a newbie for the season, racing alongside some of the seasoned riders in the race category. Rauda showcased not just consistency but also his ability to inject pressure and tackle his contenders. But with competency level progressively increasing among the riders, can Rauda repeat his winning moves to secure one more trophy before the curtains close? Rauda commented, “Being a newbie in the MSBK1000 B race category has been quite a challenge for me. I did not expect to win but somehow, I managed to learn as quickly as I could and take the win. My goal in the beginning was only to finish the race safely. Despite the win, there are the challenges for sure especially getting used to the race machine. I had to do a lot of homework – learning in terms of understanding the intricacies of machine setup. I had to ensure that I found the compatibility with the machine. I am glad things worked out well for me so far.” “My main contenders are Teuke Irfan and Ejad. They are highly competitive but my strategy is quite simple. If we are going to rivals, I will just have to hold on to my best from the start till the end. It won’t be easy but if there is one thing I have learnt, racing is never going to be easy. It is all about strategizing and working on the riding techniques. So, I will do my best despite the stiff competition with my contenders and keeping my fingers crossed that I will cross the finish line without any major issues.” “Sepang has been a wonderful place to ride and I like everything about the circuit. Every corner requires a different approach in maximising the racing lines. It’s wide and safe for all rider. My machine currently is a stock version and there has not been much upgrading except for the braking system. Besides the condition of the machine, more importantly, I am preparing myself physically too. I do a lot of cardio workouts which is crucial for a 3-day event. Fitness has been my 1st priority so far, more so being a cyclist professionally. I have grown to love 2-wheels from there and right now, I am finding a keen interest for racing. For the machine, I will leave it to the crew to make the best and most of it.”
