I won both Race 1 and Race 2 this weekend, which I didn’t expect because I knew Irfan and the other riders are all very experienced and skilled. Alhamdulillah, with the support of the team and mechanics, we managed to set up the bike better. Race 2 was very intense, I tried to control my pace but I knew my rivals would push 100% because they had data from Race 1. I planned my strategy for the last lap and it worked perfectly. I’m really happy to win this race.” 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 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP kicked off Round 2 today at the iconic PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit with a thrilling Race 1 in the MSBK250 A category. In an exciting showdown, Ahmad Afif Amran of SUPERFAST JRT X RAPIDO clinched the win, securing a hard-fought victory. Afif’s impressive performance began in the qualifying session, where he clocked the fastest lap time of 2’24.969s, earning pole position. He was closely followed by his teammate, Md Akid Aziz, who secured second position with a time of 2’25.075s. Nguyen Huu Tri of HONDA RACING VIETNAM TEAM rounded out the top three with a time of 2’25.781s. As the lights went out for the race, Afif and Akid both made strong starts, immediately establishing their positions at the front. However, Irfan Ardiansyah of MAEZTRO NWN SCK HONDA RACING was quick to challenge, keeping pace in third place. The race was a nail-biting contest, with riders jostling for position over eight intense laps. After a strong start, Afif and Akid continued to battle at the front, with Irfan and Huu Tri not far behind. On the final lap, Irfan showed remarkable pace, overtaking Afif in an attempt to snatch the win. But Afif went all out and raced past the finishing line to win in 19’40.458s. Irfan finished second at 19’40.459s, and Akid finished third at 19’40.536s. However, Irfan was dropped by one position due to a track limit violation, which moved Akid up to second place, and Irfan was placed third. Afif said, “In today’s race, I really tried to maintain a high race pace, but I wasn’t able to, perhaps because the track was too hot. So, I tried to stick to my strategy and attack in the last two laps. I already knew that Irfan would try to overtake on the final lap, so I just accepted it. But perhaps my bike had a slight advantage in the straight sections towards the finish line, and I was able to overtake Irfan at the very last moment.” 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.

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.

With 5 minutes left, I pushed harder and, Alhamdulillah, I managed to set my best time. For tomorrow’s Qualifying and Race, I will do my best.

Round 2 of the AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Sepang International Circuit this weekend. Qayim Razin Razali of Horizon Racing Team is pumped up in keeping the winning momentum in the MSBK250 B race category. It was definitely a tough show in the MSBK250 B race category but Qayim pulled out his best shots to score a double-win and the Weekend Champion title. The Malaysian rider went on to showcase his competency and ability to withstand the challenges that came along with the race category. With three more rounds to go, it takes a lot of courage, strength and confidence to keep the momentum going. Will the rider be able to present a similar show in the coming rounds? Commenting on the race, Qayim said, “One of the biggest challenges is racing alongside riders from Group A. While I’m focused on leading Group B, I’m also navigating battles with faster, more experienced riders. It’s a mental and physical test to stay sharp, hold my position and push my own limits, especially in a competition where every second counts. My bike is performing at its peak and right now, I feel like my machine is an extension of myself and that’s a massive advantage. As for disadvantages, every setup has room for improvement but we’re constantly fine-tune to stay competitive.” “Racing in the MSBK250 B category is a thrill! It’s also a huge learning opportunity as every lap teaches me more about racing lines, body positioning and strategy. The competition is intense though but that’s the best part of racing. In my opinion, Kabilesh from India and Carlsen Solis from the Philippines are my toughest rivals. They both have more track time and experience which makes them strong benchmarks for me. I’m using this as motivation and I’ll do everything I can to stay close, learn from them and raise my level throughout the race weekend. My mission is clear: I want to win the overall title in Group B and claim the title of Weekend Warrior Champion. That’s what I’m working toward every session.”
