KASMA SUPERB AT SEPANG

Round 2 of Malaysian Superbike Championship which was held at Sepang International Circuit went on to a great start with Race 2. Kasma Daniel Kasmayuddin of Yamaha Gen Blu Racing Team ASEAN bagged another victory in the MSBK1000 A race category.

Yesterday, Kasma was unbeatable as he went on to draw a wide gap in between his contenders, Zaqhwan and Azlan. The duo trailing on the other hand engaged in a heated battle towards the end of the race before Azlan beat Zaqhwan to the punch.

In today’s race, Zaqhwan was quick to move ahead into P1 followed by Azlan at P2 and Kasma at P3. Although Kasma tried to slide ahead from the inside at the last turn, the duo ahead did not budge away from their positions. Into lap 3, Kasma who was diligently pressuring Azlan made a slide from the inside and ahead of Azlan and was a matter of time when he made his move on Zaqhwan. Into lap 4, Kasma succeeded into P1 from the inside once again.

By mid-race, Kasma was leading with a 1.756s gap from Zaqhwan. It was all about maintaining his pace for the trio. With two more laps to go, Kasma was on his way to victory with a gap of 3.326s. Zaqhwan maintained his pace and avoided pressure from Azlan. The race concluded with Kasma taking victory at 21’26:958s.

Commenting on the race, Kasma said, “The challenge today was the weather. It was quite hot and the race was also early today. It was quite pressuring to ride as I also had to concentrate on the tires and manage it well. Today, I had some competition with Zaqhwan and Azlan so it was a little interesting. Overall, I try not to pressure myself too much. I just take this as preparation for the ARRC. So, it is more of a fun ride for me. I will try to take the lead nevertheless but it also depends on the weather. So, let’s see how it goes for Race 3.”

Second place went to Zahqwan Zaidi of Boon Siew Honda Racing Team at 21’30:100s.

Azlan Shah Kamaruzaman of Horizon Racing Team made it third at 21’47:951
