IZAM CONQUERED MIXED CONDITION TRACK

The Round 2 of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit featured the Berjaya Sompo YAMAHA R15M Race Elites category practice sessions, where Muhd Izam Ikmal Izamli of SENG HOE MOTOR RACING topped the combined practice session.

In Practice 1, Abdullah Qayyum Abd Razak of SOON CHYE MOTOR set the fastest lap with a time of 2’49.881s. He was followed by Muhd Haziq Mohd Hamdan of TKC RACING in second with a time of 2’51.659s, and Muhd Danish Aiman Zamrul of EE SING in third at 2’51.765.

In Practice 2, Izam made a comeback with the fastest lap time of 2’48:329s, reaching a top speed of 118.55 km/h, to lead the group. Muhd Alif Danial Md Asri of KAVIN MOTOR, who posted a time of 2’49:226s, finished 0.897s behind Izam in second, while Qayyum took third with a time of 2’49.582s.

Overall, Izam was the fastest across both sessions, with Alif and Qayyum rounding out the top three.

Izam commented, “Practice 1 was slightly rainy, and when I went out, the track was in mixed conditions, some areas were wet while others were dry. We just focused on finding setup for Practice 2. In Practice 2, I started to push because the track had warmed up again. I tried to run at race pace and worked on chasing from the back to the front. I managed to clock a time of 2 minutes 48 seconds, although my target before Qualifying is 2 minutes 47 seconds. Still, it’s a good start for the first day, and I hope the weather will be better tomorrow for Qualifying. For Race 1, my target is to finish in the top 3. If possible, I want to go for first place. The rest depends on how the race plays out tomorrow.”
