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.”
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.”
Race 2 of Round 3 in the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP saw Azroy Hakeem Anuar of HONDA RACING MALAYSIA withstand relentless pressure to secure a stunning victory in the MSBK1000 A category at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit. From the race start, Azroy surged into the lead with Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA glued to his tail, pushing hard to force an early error. Behind the leading duo, Azroy’s teammate Muhammad Zaqhwan Zaidi and Adam Norrodin of AMI SUZUKI MOTORSPORT battled closely for third. By Lap 2, Adam muscled past Zaqhwan to chase down the front pair, while at P5, Andi Farid Izdihar of ASTRA HONDA RACING came under pressure from Lachlan Epis of SAVITAR TEAM ASIA. Unfortunately, Lachlan’s charge ended on Lap 3 with a crash. On Lap 4, Andi lit up the timing screens with the fastest lap of the race at 2’07.588s, gradually closing the gap to the leading pack. Meanwhile, Kasma unleashed the top speed of the day at 291.1km/h, shadowing Azroy and keeping the fight alive. By Lap 6, Azroy remained firmly in control, fending off every attempt from Kasma, while Zaqhwan reclaimed third from Adam to re-establish the Honda duo at the sharp end. The final lap delivered pure drama as Kasma launched multiple overtaking attempts, but Azroy held his ground with ice-cool composure. In a nail-biting sprint to the finish line, Azroy crossed first at 21’23.822s, with Kasma just 0.443s adrift at 21’24.265s. Zaqhwan completed the podium in third at 21’25.957s. Azroy said, “The race conditions today were extremely hot, which was exactly what I wanted, but I wasn’t able to deliver my best performance in terms of lap times, as I couldn’t hit the 2’06 pace here. I’ll need to review what we were lacking this time, but regardless, I’m grateful to my team for all their hard work. We need to keep this momentum going and prepare strongly for Round 5 of the ARRC here at Sepang.” 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.

The Race 1 of Round 3 in the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP’s MSBK1000 A category at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit saw a masterclass performance from Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA, who stormed to a commanding victory in wet conditions. At lights out, Kasma surged to the front and never looked back, immediately pulling clear of his rivals. Behind him, Lachlan Epis of SAVITAR TEAM ASIA and Adam Norrodin of AMI SUZUKI MOTORSPORT initially slotted into contention, before Andi Farid Izdihar of ASTRA HONDA RACING muscled his way into second on Lap 2.

Andi completed a strong ride to finish second in 24’11.565s, while Azroy clinched the final podium spot at 24’28.212s. Kasma commented, “I had confidence, but I wasn’t overly confident, because in a race under rainy conditions, victory can come down to luck. If luck is on your side, you can finish the race, if not, you won’t. Just now I tried to stay focused on my riding. I think I was maybe too focused because I wanted to preserve my tyres as the track was drying up. As a result, the tyres were wearing out more, so I needed to control my riding.” 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.
