IQRAM’S EMOTIONAL VICTORY
Race 1 of Round 2 of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP unfolded at PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit today, where Ahmad Iqram Danish Ahmad Ghazali of CHJ RACING claimed victory in the YAMAHA Y16ZR Race MasterClass category.
Earlier today during the qualifying session, Md Akid Md Shah Khearul Nisian of LKT RACING clocked the fastest lap at 2’51.134s, giving him a solid advantage for the race. The second-fastest was Muhd Al Syafiq Muhd Al Amirul Zaki of SCM FACTORY RACING TEAM at 2’51.369s, followed by Muhd Syahmi Aiman Mohd Shafie of HIAP AIK RACING TEAM with a time of 2’52.360s.
When the race started, Md Akid Md Shah Khearul Nisian of LKT RACING surged to the front to lead the race, while a large group of riders battled closely behind for the top positions.
By lap 3, the race saw constant lead changes as riders fiercely competed for position. Four riders crashed during the intense exchanges.
Despite the frequent position changes throughout the race, Akid remained consistently within the front group, demonstrating strong pace and control.
On the final lap, the winner was still impossible to predict as the battle intensified and the riders became increasingly aggressive in their attempts to break free.
In the end, Iqram crossed the finish line first with a time of 17’48.482s. Akid followed just 0.017s behind at 17’48.499s, while Ahmad Jebat Zulkarnain of PS RACING TEAM clinched third place at 17’48.500s.
Iqram said, “For me, this was a very intense race. The track is big, the number of riders is large, and everyone has their own strengths and potential. But this is a blessing from God, and I dedicate this as a gift to my late mother who just passed away. I tried to play it safe and stick to my plan, and today, it was my luck. I hope I can keep this momentum in tomorrow’s Race 2.”
