DOUBLE WIN FOR IZAM IKMAL IN MSBK 250 RACE 2
Boon Siew Honda Racing Team’s Mohd Izam Ikmal chalked up a second win of the weekend with yet another sterling performance in Race 2 of the MSBK 250 class.
Relegated to start from the back of the grid for the entire race weekend (due to a technical infringement during the qualifier), Izam was able to cut through the grid like a hot knife through butter. By the time the riders dived into Turn 1, Izam was already on the tail of pole sitter Mohd Danial Syahmi from SIC Racing.
Daniel immediately turned on his defensive racing mode, fending off a super-aggressive Izam. The two riders were lapping below their respective qualifying times, but were still a cut above the rest. By the mid-point of the race, the leading duo were already five seconds ahead of the rest.
While Daniel and Izam traded leads at the front, ONEXOX TKKR Racing Team team mates Mohd Shafiq Rosli and Mohd Syafieq Aiman Mohd Fauzi kept the fight for P3 within the family.
Up ahead, pressure from Izam forced Daniel into an error at the last turn. It was the opening Izam had been waiting for. He picked up his second victory with a time of 20’12.530s. Syahmi conceded in second place with 20’13.126s and Mohd Shafiq Rasol finished in third.
“It was touch and go throughout the 8 laps. I simply couldn’t get away from Danial. The victory could have gone either way if Danial had not ran wide at the last corner,” said Izam after the race.
Further down afield, the battle to win the ‘Weekend Warrior’ crown in the MSBK B class hotted up. Mohd Fauzi Hassan, Daing Jamilus Herianto, Abdul Hafiz Che Hussin and Mohd Fauzi Mohd Mustakim put up a significant 8-lap fight which eventually ended in favour of Fauzi Hassan.
