IZAM LEADS THE FIELD IN SEPANG

Round 4 of the MAM Malaysia Superbike Championship at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit featured the YAMAHA R15M Race Elites category practice sessions, where Muhd Izam Ikmal Izamli of NS ONE topped the sessions.

In Practice 1, Muhd Idil Fitri of TKC SOUTHERN set the fastest lap with a time of 2’50.991s. He was followed by Abdullah Qayyum Abd Razak of HOCK LIONG in second with a time of 2’51.945s, and Ahmad Syukran Aizat Mohd Yusoff of BLH GLASSTEEL 46 RACING in third at 2’52.104s.

In Practice 2, Izam set the fastest lap time of 2’34.100s, reaching a top speed of 118.13 km/h, to lead the group. Idil, who posted a time of 2’49.134s, finished 0.206s behind Izam in second, while Fareez took third with a time of 2’49.350s.

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

Izam commented, “In FP1, we saw that the track condition was quite wet, so there wasn’t much we could try out. In this category, there isn’t much we can adjust with the setup, so it’s mostly about our skills and techniques. So I made good use of the advantage I have to stay ahead of the other riders. In FP2, the weather improved, and I was able to set a good lap time. So far, I’m ready for Race 1 tomorrow.”
