In the Berjaya Sompo YAMAHA R15M Race Elites category of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, one rider proved that perseverance and steady progress can lead to glory. Asyraff Zaquan Zainal Raif emerged as the Overall Champion, a testament to patience, focus, and unwavering dedication. The season didn’t start perfectly for Asyraff. Early rounds saw him settling into the rhythm, learning the circuits, and fine-tuning his approach. But with each race, improvement came incrementally, lap by lap, until it exploded into a breakthrough. In Round 4 Race 1, Asyraff claimed his first victory of the season, a win that not only earned crucial points but also catapulted him to the top of the standings and secured the overall championship. What makes his story remarkable is that he didn’t rely solely on raw talent. He demonstrated patience, resilience, and a commitment to continuous growth. Asyraff’s journey shows that early setbacks don’t define the outcome, and that steady effort, persistence, and belief in oneself can turn any season around. A rider who may have seemed average at first ended the year as a champion. His achievement is a reminder to all that it is never too late to reach your goals, and that progress, no matter how gradual, can lead to greatness. With talent matched by determination, Asyraff Zaquan Zainal Raif is not just a 2025 champion, but a rider whose journey and dedication make him one to watch in the years ahead.
In the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, YAMAHA Y16ZR Race MasterClass category, one rider proved that determination, discipline, and sheer willpower can overcome any challenge. Ahmad Jebat Zulkarnain emerged as the Overall Champion, a testament to focus both on and off the track. The category is notorious for its intense pack racing, with riders battling in tight groups for every corner and every position. To come out on top requires not only strategy and skill but peak physical performance. Competing alongside younger riders with smaller physiques, Jebat knew he had to do more than just ride fast. He doubled his training intensity, fine-tuned his fitness, and maintained a strict diet, keeping his body light and agile for the rigours of the race. Every push, every lap, every calorie counted and the results spoke for themselves. Jebat’s combination of preparation, intelligence, and sheer grit allowed him to not only keep pace with the pack but to consistently find opportunities to take the lead. His discipline transformed obstacles into advantages, turning physical and mental limits into a championship-winning formula. At a young age, Ahmad Jebat Zulkarnain has already demonstrated the mindset of a champion. If he continues his dedication and hard work, there is no doubt he will achieve even greater success in Malaysian motorsport and beyond.
The 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP found one of its young heroes in MSBK250 B. At 13 years old, Qayyim Razin Razali of HORIZON RACING TEAM didn’t just enter the season, he disrupted it. From Round 1 to Round 4, Race 1 and Race 2, he was unstoppable, delivering a clean, untouchable sweep. No shared victories, no trading places, no “almost beat him” moments. Just Qayyim, first place, every single time. But the fascinating part wasn’t the wins. It was how he won. While others raced the field, Qayyim raced the clock. He rarely looked behind, because his competition wasn’t there. It was in his lap delta, in the milliseconds he wanted back, in the version of himself he was determined to outgrow. Most riders push to catch up. He pushes to level up. Even with giant gaps in hand, he never cruised. He hunted improvements like someone was chasing him, constantly refining, constantly evolving, constantly faster. By the time others tried to close in, he was already gone, improving again. Fans call him unbeatable. Teammates call him focused. But inside his helmet, he simply sees someone he still wants to surpass, himself. Thirteen years old, yet riding with the discipline of a veteran and the ambition of someone with no finish line in sight. If this is just the opening chapter, the pages ahead could hold something extraordinary. Qayyim Razin Razali is not just the 2025 MSBK250 B Champion. He is proof that age is a number, but greatness is a mindset.
In racing, talent gets you on the grid, but intelligence keeps you ahead. For Ahmad Afif Amran of SUPERFAST JRT X RAPIDO, the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP title in MSBK250 A was won not only on the throttle, but in the data, the details, and the decisions. Afif doesn’t just ride the bike. He understands it. While many rely purely on instinct, Afif blends speed with technical precision. After every session, he’s trackside with his team, laptop open, reading telemetry like a language, throttle traces, lean angles, braking points, turning data into setup advantages. This rare mix of instinct and analytics became his edge in 2025. On track, he was relentless yet calculated. His starts, explosive. His overtakes, sharp and intentional. When rivals pushed, Afif responded not with chaos, but strategy. Every lap was a lesson. Every corner, an equation solved. He grew faster by understanding more, refining suspension feel, maximizing corner exits, unlocking performance others couldn’t. When pressure peaked, Afif thrived. When the moment demanded execution, he delivered. That is how he became champion. Not just with fast hands, but with a faster mind. Ahmad Afif Amran, the rider who thinks faster than he rides. The 2025 champion who proved intelligence wins races.
Khairul Idham Pawi of HONDA RACING MYS once again proved why Malaysia calls him “The King of Rain.” When storms turn the circuit into a battle of balance and bravery, he thrives. While others tiptoe through uncertainty, Khairul finds traction where few can, carving racing lines invisible to the untrained eye. In the wettest moments of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, he didn’t just survive. He dominated. Reducing Khairul to a rain specialist would be unfair. His smooth control, perfect braking, and calm focus turn consistency into his greatest weapon. While others flare, he endures. Challenges came fast, but Khairul’s resilience never wavered. Every test, every rival, every doubt was met with results on the track. His success in the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP is also a culmination of years on the world stage. From Moto3 to Moto2, and across regional circuits, Khairul gained not just speed, but perspective, intelligence, and a veteran understanding of race psychology. This showed in every start, every overtake, and every finish line crossed in MSBK600. By season’s end, Khairul Idham Pawi was the rightful MSBK600 Champion. Not by accident. Not by luck. But by craft, courage, and quiet brilliance. Rain or shine, Khairul is unstoppable. The 2025 crown wasn’t handed to him. He conquered it.
In racing, winning every race is not the only path to glory. For Teuku Irfan Affandy of TRIPLE A GARAGE, crowned MSBK1000 B Overall Champion in the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, success came from consistency, determination, and pure love for the sport. Teuku did not sweep every podium, but he was always finishing strong and keeping his championship hopes alive. With one triumph, a handful of podiums, and consistent top five finishes, he steadily accumulated the points needed for the championship. Every finish, every lap, every point counted, a testament to his discipline and unwavering focus. Teuku’s triumph highlights a truth often overlooked in racing. It is not always about dominating every race. It is about passion, perseverance, and the determination to cross the finish line, race after race. His approach of racing smart, finishing strong, and staying consistent made the difference, proving that a champion is not just fast, but resilient, committed, and in love with the sport. Teuku Irfan Affandy showed that consistency and heart can be just as powerful as sheer speed, earning him the well-deserved title of MSBK1000 B Overall Champion.
Not all champions are loud. Some win by being exact. Calculated. Unshakably consistent. In the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, Azroy Hakeem Anuar let his riding do the talking. Racing for HONDA RACING MALAYSIA, he built his campaign with clean, controlled, intelligent, and relentlessly fast riding. No theatrics. No unnecessary risks. Just clinical execution. Corner after corner, his technical precision shone. Even amid fierce competition, Azroy stayed calm, adapting and striking with consistent lap times that kept him ahead. Under championship pressure, he remained composed, proving that titles are won through consistency, not chaos. Fresh from the global stage at MotoGP Malaysia on 26 October 2025, Azroy returned to domestic competition sharper, faster, and more confident. At PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit for Round 4, he dominated both Race 1 and Race 2, showcasing the upgraded race craft earned from international experience. And when the season drew its final breath, there was only one rightful conclusion. Azroy Hakeem Anuar is the 2025 MSBK1000 A Overall Champion. Not by luck. Not by chance. But by mastery. A champion who wins by being better, every lap, every round, every moment.
Round 4 of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit saw Azroy Hakeem Anuar of HONDA RACING MYS secure his second victory of the weekend in the MSBK1000 A category, clinching the 2025 Overall Championship in style. At the start, Muhd Helmi Azman of HONDA RACING MYS surged ahead to lead the pack, followed closely by Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MYS and Azroy in third. Early laps witnessed an intense battle at the front. By Lap 3, Kasma overtook Helmi, while Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah from Malaysia set the fastest lap of 2’06.943s to move up the order. Adam Norrodin of AMI SUZUKI MOTORSPORT retired due to technical issues. From Lap 6 onwards, Hafizh continued to close in on the leading trio with another fastest lap of 2’06.106s, signalling his intent to challenge the top riders. On Lap 7, Helmi reclaimed the lead from Kasma, but Azroy capitalized on a gap at Turn 13 to move past Kasma and join Helmi at the front. The following lap saw Azroy overtake Helmi to take command of the race, establishing a strong pace that would see him maintain the lead to the finish. Crossing the line in 21’14.808s, Azroy celebrated his double win at Round 4, with Helmi finishing second at 21’15.163s and Kasma taking third at 21’17.747s.

I’ve been consistently at the front. There were a few times I dropped back due to technical issues, but other than that, I’ve finished on the podium in every race. Coming into today, I knew everyone would go all out to end the season with strong results. With three laps to go, I told myself it was time to attack. I had excellent pace this round. Thank you to my team for giving me the opportunity to compete on this stage, as this is also part of my preparation heading into the ARRC.

From the outset, Izam had a strong start, but Farres Putra Md Fadhil of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA capitalized on an open line to take the early lead, with Khairul slotting into second. Izam quickly settled into third, closely followed by Cao Viet Nam and Md Irfan Haykhal Amidi of HONDA RACING MYS. The early laps saw relentless action at the front. Izam and Khairul swapped positions repeatedly, with both riders setting fastest laps and keeping the crowd on edge.

Farres completed the podium in third at 22’24.475s. Izam said, “Today’s race was insane. I knew I had a very good start, and this weekend, Khairul was much faster compared to the previous round. He tried to maintain his pace and was very aggressive, especially with Race 2 in mind. I stayed with him in the early stages, and it became an intense battle, especially through many of the corners. On the last lap, I knew Khairul was strong on the brakes, so I had to block him into Turn 14 to prevent the overtake, and it worked. Into Turn 15, I held the inside line, and at the corner exit, I knew that was my moment. This win is a blessing from the prayers and support of everyone around me.” Overall, as announced yesterday, Khairul is crowned MSBK600 Overall Champion, with 147 points, ahead of Farres with 114 points and Cao Viet Nam with 109 points.

Afiq said, “The race was intense, and it wasn’t easy for me to get to the front. On the last lap, I pushed as hard as I could. I saw Ali run wide, so I seized the opportunity and went for the gap. I thought I would finish second because I expected someone to slipstream past me, but it turned out I won.” Jebat shared, “Alhamdulillah, thank you to everyone who has always been behind me, especially my parents, my friends who constantly support and pray for me, and my team who never stop motivating me. To my coach, who has been guiding me since I was young and taught me so much.

Race 1 of Round 4 in the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP’s MSBK600 category at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit delivered an intense battle, with Md Izam Ikmal Izamli of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA narrowly claiming victory over Khairul Idham Pawi of HONDA RACING MYS. Despite finishing second, Khairul’s consistent performance throughout the season earned him the overall 2025 MSBK600 championship title. At the start, Izam surged to the front, leading the race ahead of Cao Viet Nam of HONDA RACING VIE TEAM in second, and Khairul Idham Pawi in third. Farres Putra Md Fadhil of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MYS slotted into fourth, with Md Irfan Haykhal Amidi of HONDA RACING MYS in fifth. By Lap 2, Viet Nam overtook Izam to take the lead, while Khairul set the fastest lap of 2’13.044s on Lap 3, moving into second and chasing the Vietnamese rider. Izam remained in third as Irfan crashed out of the race. Lap 4 saw Khairul seize the lead from Viet Nam, with Izam quickly reclaiming second by overtaking from the inside line and closing in on Khairul. Farres maintained a solid fourth position. As rain began to drizzle on Lap 6, the intensity between Khairul and Izam only increased. Both riders exchanged positions multiple times, with Khairul gaining advantage in the corners and Izam pulling ahead on the straights. By the final lap, the two riders were neck-and-neck, trading overtakes nearly every turn. In a breathtaking finish, Izam edged Khairul by just 0.043s to cross the line in 22’25.027s. Khairul completed a hard-fought second in 22’25.070s, while Viet Nam secured third in 22’32.113s. Although finishing second in Race 1, Khairul’s season-long consistency allowed him to collect 127 points, 29 points ahead of Farres, and secure the overall 2025 MSBK600 championship title. Izam said, “Today’s race was incredible. The weather changed mid-race, and I didn’t expect some corners to be wet, which made the track quite slippery. I couldn’t push 100 percent. Khairul also had strong pace here. At the start, I had a gap on him, but I tried to close in. At the same time, I began losing rear tire grip, so I had to adjust my strategy to prevent him from pulling away. The last lap was unbelievable. I didn’t expect him to overtake me in a corner, but Alhamdulillah, I managed to fight back, overtake him, and secure the win today.” Khairul said, “At the start of the race, I had a decent start, but I lost a few positions. I chased back and managed to stay at the front. But when the rain started, I played it safe. By the time Izam caught up behind me, I knew I had an advantage in the corners, but on the straights, I couldn’t match his speed. Nevertheless, I am still grateful to have earned this championship title.” SIC AND TWMR WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO AEON CREDIT (M) BERHAD FOR THE SUPPORT RENDERED THIS WEEKEND DURING AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Round 4 of the AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Sepang International Circuit this weekend. Can Kasma Daniel of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA ward off the threats of his closest contender Azroy Hakeem Anuar of HONDA RACING MALAYSIA to claim the championship title in the MSBK1000 A race category? With only 1-point difference between the duo, the pressure is definitely on, on who will grace the charts as the season’s champion. Kasma currently leads with 130 points after bagging two wins this season and four other podium-finish but Azroy on the other hands sits at the 2nd spot with a total of 129 points after sweeping four wins and 1 podium-finish at third place. Both equally competitive, the season finale is sure to stir the circuit ground up with their heated performances. Throughout the season, both the riders have showcased their strengths and dominance on the circuit ground. After all, Sepang circuit being home to both the Malaysian riders, the challenge has never been about the circuit ground but more so of skills versus right opportunities to strike. The either-or situation saw Kasma and Azroy engaging in a rivalry that not only challenged each other to be better but also inspired others to make the most out of their experiences. Between the duo, will Kasma flex his muscles further in taking down Azroy or will Azroy continue flaunting his expertise to defeat Kasma? Kasma said, “Between Azroy and myself, I definitely think that we both have the relevant experiences aboard the 1000cc machine as well on the grounds of Sepang however, there are the challenges of the differing riding techniques and skills between us. He may have an added advantage that I may not have but that is alright because, I am all about doing my best to ensure that my performance is not compromised. I know for sure that Azroy can take me down in a blink of an eye but my aim is to make the most of my game and ensure that I am on top of whatever circumstances, keeping my fingers crossed that my machine does not give any problems.” “When the season began, I was pretty confident thinking that I could score the big sweep once again but at the same time, I also knew that Azroy was not going to go easy on me because we are alike and we have the same kind of wit and grit. So, the expectations versus outcome have been a little different for me especially with the 1-point difference that speak volumes. I believe the final round will be not only highly competitive but also will be very exciting for both of us. The unique thing about MSBK1000 race category is definitely the part where group A and B rides at the same time. It injects a different kind of challenge that comes with a different kind of learning curve. For next season, there are no plans lined up as yet but given a chance, I will surely take up the challenge. More so, if I lose to Azroy this season, next season will be a season for a comeback.”
Round 4 of the AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Sepang International Circuit this weekend. Can Muhd Rauda Tul Razman complete the season with another Weekend Champion win in the MSBK1000 B race category? In Round 3, Rauda was exceptional when he scored a win in Race 1 and second place in Race 2. It was quite a performance especially coming from a newbie for the season, racing alongside some of the seasoned riders in the race category. Rauda showcased not just consistency but also his ability to inject pressure and tackle his contenders. But with competency level progressively increasing among the riders, can Rauda repeat his winning moves to secure one more trophy before the curtains close? Rauda commented, “Being a newbie in the MSBK1000 B race category has been quite a challenge for me. I did not expect to win but somehow, I managed to learn as quickly as I could and take the win. My goal in the beginning was only to finish the race safely. Despite the win, there are the challenges for sure especially getting used to the race machine. I had to do a lot of homework – learning in terms of understanding the intricacies of machine setup. I had to ensure that I found the compatibility with the machine. I am glad things worked out well for me so far.” “My main contenders are Teuke Irfan and Ejad. They are highly competitive but my strategy is quite simple. If we are going to rivals, I will just have to hold on to my best from the start till the end. It won’t be easy but if there is one thing I have learnt, racing is never going to be easy. It is all about strategizing and working on the riding techniques. So, I will do my best despite the stiff competition with my contenders and keeping my fingers crossed that I will cross the finish line without any major issues.” “Sepang has been a wonderful place to ride and I like everything about the circuit. Every corner requires a different approach in maximising the racing lines. It’s wide and safe for all rider. My machine currently is a stock version and there has not been much upgrading except for the braking system. Besides the condition of the machine, more importantly, I am preparing myself physically too. I do a lot of cardio workouts which is crucial for a 3-day event. Fitness has been my 1st priority so far, more so being a cyclist professionally. I have grown to love 2-wheels from there and right now, I am finding a keen interest for racing. For the machine, I will leave it to the crew to make the best and most of it.”
Round 4 of the AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Sepang International Circuit this weekend. Ahmad Afif Amran of SUPERFAST JRT X RAPIDO is one-step ahead and may just be the next champion in the MSBK250 A race category. At 24-point difference with his closest contender, Irfan Ardiansyah of MAEZTRO NWN SCK HONDA RACING TEAM, Afif has to plan his moves carefully, further accentuate his riding techniques and manage his machine exceptionally to avoid the possibilities of being trumped. The Malaysian rider is no stranger to the circuit ground which gives him an added advantage considering the mileage he has clocked in. The familiarity coupled with his years of experience in professional riding, Afif seemed to have it all covered. Apart from that, Afif also has the upper-hand in terms of competency considering his performance throughout the season with three wins and two other podium-finish. Irfan is not bad himself with five podium-finish including one win. The competition between them is bound to get heated at the season finale and Afif has to definitely play his cards well to avoid Irfan’s pressure and tricks. The question is, can Afif deflect the pressure and stay focused to claim the ultimate prize? Commenting on the race, Afif said, “It is quite hard to describe – the strategies on the race situation and the plans to overcome the mounting pressure. I prefer to be prepared in all aspects and stay cautious. There are many highly competitive riders in the race category. Irfan specifically has a very good riding technique. Perhaps the Honda machine is more stable than the Yamaha when taking the corners so I need to continuously be alert on the possible outcomes. I don’t really want to think too much of the championship points at this point of time. The aim is to keep my focus on each race and give my best.” “I believe though that my advantage comes from my machine being faster as we have already found the right setup and the rhythm needed for Sepang. The preparations too are pretty much the same. There are no major changes in that sense. I am confident for the coming race. However, I also know that racing is not only about skills. It also takes into account the play of luck. I can only hope that the race will go on smoothly for me and my team without any major disruptions. My target for next season is to continue enhancing my skills aboard the 250cc machine and compete ARRC’s AP250 race category.”
Round 4 of the AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Sepang International Circuit this weekend. Can Asyaff Zaquan make a grand finish and bag the championship title in the BERJAYA SOMPO YAMAHA R15M RACE ELITES? With a total of 49 points in hand, Asyaff currently takes lead on the scoreboard with a 12 and 13-point difference from his closest contenders Ahmad Iqram Danish and Md Aqil Danial respectively. While Asyaff may have the advantage of taking lead, both the rivals have showcased their competitive side in the previous round with the latter taking a win and the former a podium-finish in Race 2 where Asyaff concluded fourth. Considering the close rivalry between the trio, it may not be as easy for Asyaff who has to keep up with the game-plan – being a champion. Asyaff may not have made a cut on the podium just yet throughout the season however being the chart-topper may just be the boost he needs to accelerate further. The question is, can Asyaff overcome the challenges of his rivals, the complexities of the circuit ground and the dexterity of his rivals to claim the big win at the season opener? Commenting on the race, Asyaff said, “I will try my best to finish second on the podium and also maintain my position. It is not going to be easy but I will try my best. The circuit ground is difficult to tackle, more so in a race category that is highly competitive. But I like it because it has a technical corner that is challenging and also a hilly area. The contenders are all very close, which makes the outcome quite unpredictable. I will do my best in both races and hopefully, I can keep up with a consistent pace and momentum throughout the race.” “My current contenders are both very strong and I know that they will inject as much pressure as they can to keep the competition stiff. Riding aboard the R15M machine is similar to riding the underbone machine in terms of competitiveness. But of course, this machine has a tank which means, riding techniques have to suit the body of the machine. For now, I am quite comfortable riding the machine but of course, there is so much more to learn and improve. I have to strategize from the very beginning till the end to ensure that I stay among the front troop.” In terms of preparation, Asyaff said, “I have been doing a lot of training aboard the machine and I have also been building up on my physique, clocking in gym time persistently for the coming round. So, right now, I just hope that apart from doing well and having a perfect machine condition, I will also have luck on my side. For next season, I have no plans as yet but I am hoping that I could participate in MSBK once again.”
Round 4 of the AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Sepang International Circuit this weekend. Can Qayyim Razin Razali of HORIZON RACING TEAM repeat his victorious moves at the season finale of the MSBK250 B race category. Highly-competitive and strikingly skilled, Qayyim replicated his double-win act from Round 2 in Round 3 when he took home yet another Weekend Champion title. But again, that doesn’t come as a surprise considering his double-win in Round 1 too. Qayyim has definitely mastered the techniques and re-defined the benchmark for the MSBK250 B race category. With six wins to his name, the only expectation is nothing but a double-win before the curtains close and unless there is an encounter with an unfortunate incident, Qayyim definitely has what it takes to make it. Commenting on the race, Qayyim said, “I believe that my riding skills, experience and overall fitness have helped me come this far. These are essential in racing for a rider and maintaining a good help and enhancing my riding techniques over time have really helped me stay consistent and perform my best in all the races. The MSBK250 B race category, although it runs concurrently with the A group, has been a great platform for me to continuously improve. I am given the opportunity to fight alongside professional riders – which consequently helped me grow further beyond my boundaries.” “Currently, my closest rival would be Carlsen Solis. He has a good pace and is highly competitive. He is definitely one that I have to keep my eyes on during the race. Of course, there are the other riders as well so, the most important thing is to stay focused despite the rivalries so that I can minimise errors. My goal right now is to win over the weekend once again but at the same time, I would also like to progressively improve and work towards becoming a professional rider.” In terms of preparations, Qayyim said, “I’ve been focused on becoming stronger physically and mentally. I also make sure that I maintain good team work and communication with my mechanic to ensure everything runs smoothly. So far, I have managed to take the weekend champion title from Round 1 to Round 3. The next goal would be to secure the overall championship title. I want to compete in the MSBK250 A race category and hopefully, next year, I would be able to find a spot in it and compete with at a different level of competency and rivalry.”
Race 2 of Round 3 in the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP saw Azroy Hakeem Anuar of HONDA RACING MALAYSIA withstand relentless pressure to secure a stunning victory in the MSBK1000 A category at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit. From the race start, Azroy surged into the lead with Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA glued to his tail, pushing hard to force an early error. Behind the leading duo, Azroy’s teammate Muhammad Zaqhwan Zaidi and Adam Norrodin of AMI SUZUKI MOTORSPORT battled closely for third. By Lap 2, Adam muscled past Zaqhwan to chase down the front pair, while at P5, Andi Farid Izdihar of ASTRA HONDA RACING came under pressure from Lachlan Epis of SAVITAR TEAM ASIA. Unfortunately, Lachlan’s charge ended on Lap 3 with a crash. On Lap 4, Andi lit up the timing screens with the fastest lap of the race at 2’07.588s, gradually closing the gap to the leading pack. Meanwhile, Kasma unleashed the top speed of the day at 291.1km/h, shadowing Azroy and keeping the fight alive. By Lap 6, Azroy remained firmly in control, fending off every attempt from Kasma, while Zaqhwan reclaimed third from Adam to re-establish the Honda duo at the sharp end. The final lap delivered pure drama as Kasma launched multiple overtaking attempts, but Azroy held his ground with ice-cool composure. In a nail-biting sprint to the finish line, Azroy crossed first at 21’23.822s, with Kasma just 0.443s adrift at 21’24.265s. Zaqhwan completed the podium in third at 21’25.957s. Azroy said, “The race conditions today were extremely hot, which was exactly what I wanted, but I wasn’t able to deliver my best performance in terms of lap times, as I couldn’t hit the 2’06 pace here. I’ll need to review what we were lacking this time, but regardless, I’m grateful to my team for all their hard work. We need to keep this momentum going and prepare strongly for Round 5 of the ARRC here at Sepang.” SIC AND TWMR WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO AEON CREDIT (M) BERHAD FOR THE SUPPORT RENDERED THIS WEEKEND DURING AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP.

From the race start, Muhd Izam Ikmal Izamli of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA got off the line strongly to seize the early lead. But it didn’t take long before Helmi made a bold move to overtake and establish himself at the front, with teammate, Khairul Idham Pawi holding third. The trio quickly pulled away from the chasing group, building a 3-second gap by Lap 2. The early laps delivered thrilling exchanges as Izam and Helmi swapped positions several times, but Helmi soon began to showcase his superior pace.

Helmi expressed, “The race today was quite tough. This week we didn’t get the chance to try out any proper settings, and even during the race the bike adjustments were still far from ideal. My target was to run a 2’10 pace, but I could only manage 2’11. I couldn’t push any harder, so I just focused on maintaining my pace. Early on, Izam gave me a good fight, but I knew I had the pace, so I stayed calm and managed the situation. Above all, I want to thank my team for working so hard this week, especially after my crash yesterday. Today’s result was my way of redeeming that disappointment. I’ll take the experience from this race and carry it forward into the next one.” SIC AND TWMR WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO AEON CREDIT (M) BERHAD FOR THE SUPPORT RENDERED THIS WEEKEND DURING AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP.

From the race start, Afif wasted no time in charging to the front at the first corner, leaving behind his teammate Md Akid Aziz, who was locked in a close fight with Reynaidi Pradana of REY RACING SPEED and Sai Rahil Pillarisetty of TEAM RACR CASTROL POWER1 for the final podium spot.

We managed to gather a bit of data yesterday, but thankfully the weather was good today. At the start, I tried to push, but my tyres didn’t allow me to go all out as the grip felt very loose both front and rear. So, I decided to save my tyres first and only pushed hard in the last three laps. On the final lap, I went all out, and thankfully the strategy worked perfectly, I managed to win today’s race.” SIC AND TWMR WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO AEON CREDIT (M) BERHAD FOR THE SUPPORT RENDERED THIS WEEKEND DURING AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP.

The Race 1 of Round 3 in the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP’s MSBK1000 A category at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit saw a masterclass performance from Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA, who stormed to a commanding victory in wet conditions. At lights out, Kasma surged to the front and never looked back, immediately pulling clear of his rivals. Behind him, Lachlan Epis of SAVITAR TEAM ASIA and Adam Norrodin of AMI SUZUKI MOTORSPORT initially slotted into contention, before Andi Farid Izdihar of ASTRA HONDA RACING muscled his way into second on Lap 2.

Andi completed a strong ride to finish second in 24’11.565s, while Azroy clinched the final podium spot at 24’28.212s. Kasma commented, “I had confidence, but I wasn’t overly confident, because in a race under rainy conditions, victory can come down to luck. If luck is on your side, you can finish the race, if not, you won’t. Just now I tried to stay focused on my riding. I think I was maybe too focused because I wanted to preserve my tyres as the track was drying up. As a result, the tyres were wearing out more, so I needed to control my riding.” SIC AND TWMR WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO AEON CREDIT (M) BERHAD FOR THE SUPPORT RENDERED THIS WEEKEND DURING AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Raudhatul expressed, “Today’s race was quite challenging because the track was fully wet. Let’s see how it goes tomorrow, but of course, our target will be P1. I think the main challengers for tomorrow will be Kamarul Izad and Teuku Irfan.

Round 3 of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP delivered a heart-stopping Race 1 in the MSBK600 category at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit, with Muhd Izam Ikmal Izamli of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA emerging victorious after an intense battle with Muhd Helmi Azman of HONDA RACING MALAYSIA. At the start, Izam surged ahead to take the holeshot, while his teammate Farres Putra Mohd Fadhil slipped past Helmi to occupy second place. Helmi regrouped quickly and began his charge, setting the pace with a blistering 2’29.120s lap and reaching 242.2km/h on Lap 3 as he chased down Izam. But Izam fought back with a faster 2’28.571s lap and a top speed of 243.8km/h, keeping the Honda rider at bay. By Lap 6, a mistake from Izam allowed Helmi to close the gap to just 0.365s, while Helmi’s teammate Khairul Idham Pawi overtook Farres for third. The closing laps turned into a spectacular showdown as Helmi finally passed Izam on Lap 8, only for Izam to immediately retaliate. On Lap 9, Helmi took another risk but lost control and crashed, rejoining the race in third. Izam capitalised on the incident to stretch his lead and crossed the line first with a commanding time of 25’02.084s. The drama didn’t end there, as Helmi launched a breathtaking last-corner move, snatching second place by just 0.001s ahead of Khairul, who settled for third. Izam said, “In today’s race, I had a very good start. At first, I wasn’t too confident because I knew Helmi had strong pace here. Step by step, I observed whether Helmi could stay with me or not. Around six laps in, I started to struggle with my rear tyre, so I just kept my pace. I saw the board showing a 1.500s gap, and my pace was a bit slower compared to Helmi. In the last three laps, I knew I was on the podium, but I still wanted this victory because it’s been three years since I last rode a 600cc. I noticed Helmi was quite aggressive. He knew I wasn’t fast in the high-speed corners, but I managed to overtake in the slow corner. I didn’t expect Helmi to crash. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll see how things go, and we can battle again with Helmi and Khairul.” SIC AND TWMR WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO AEON CREDIT (M) BERHAD FOR THE SUPPORT RENDERED THIS WEEKEND DURING AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Race 1 of Round 3 in the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP brought high drama in the MSBK250 A category at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit, with rain-soaked conditions testing both skill and courage. In the end, it was Irfan Ardiansyah of MAEZTRO NWN SCK HONDA RACING who mastered the wet track to secure a brilliant victory. At the start, Ahmad Afif Amran and Md Akid Aziz of SUPERFAST JRT X RAPIDO charged forward, only for Irfan to steal the lead at the first corner. Md Akif Abdullah of HONDA RACING MALAYSIA also quickly joined the front group, setting the stage for an intense battle. By lap 2, Irfan looked the most comfortable in the slippery conditions, leading confidently with Akif in second and Nguyen Ton Anh Phu of HONDA RACING VIETNAM TEAM in third. Afif, meanwhile, slipped down the order after being overtaken by Sai Rahil Pillarisetty of TEAM RACR CASTROL POWER1 and Reynadi Pradana of REY RACING SPEED. The race took a dramatic turn on lap 4 when both Akif and Sai crashed, losing their chance to fight for the podium. This opened the door for Ton Anh Phu and Reynadi to climb into second and third positions behind Irfan. From there, the front trio broke away. Irfan and Ton Anh Phu pushed hard, clocking speeds of 177km/h even on the wet surface, and stretched an 8-second gap over the chasing pack. Behind them, Akid clawed back to fourth and later overtook Reynadi for third, sparking a fierce late-race fight. On the final lap, Reynadi launched one last attack, regaining third from Akid. Up front, Irfan pulled clear to a safe margin, crossing the finish line in 21’37.651s, 3.800s ahead of Ton Anh Phu, who secured second place. Reynadi held on to claim third. Irfan shared, “From the start I wanted to push as much as possible, but I almost had a high side at Turn 4 and slid, so I decided to just keep my own pace and try to stay consistent. In the end, I managed to finish P1. I’m very happy and grateful.

Among the competitive MSBK250 B grid of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, one rider has been quietly yet powerfully making history. Saidatul Zakirah Zairin of LADY BOSS RACING TEAM is currently the only female rider in the top five overall standings after two rounds, proving that determination, skill, and consistency can break barriers in a sport often dominated by men. For Zakirah, the achievement feels rewarding, but she doesn’t see herself defined solely by gender. “It feels really rewarding to be in the top five overall, especially knowing how competitive the field is. At the same time, I don’t look at it purely as being the only female rider as I see myself first and foremost as a racer. My goal is always to perform at the highest level regardless of gender. That said, I do hope my presence in the top standings can inspire more women and young riders to believe they can succeed in this sport too,” she said. Competing against male riders brings unique challenges, but Zakirah has learned to rise above them with focus and resilience. “Sometimes people may underestimate me before I even get on the bike, so I’ve had to prove myself through performance rather than words. On track, the intensity is high and the margins for error are so small. I overcome this by training harder, staying disciplined, and keeping my mindset strong. Once the helmet is on, gender doesn’t matter. It’s about skill, strategy, and determination,” she explained. Her place in the top five has not come by chance. Experience abroad, particularly racing in Europe, has given Zakirah valuable growth that she has translated into her MSBK season. “Racing in Europe with the girls there has really helped me improve my skills, and I’ve brought that experience into this season. Consistency has been key, with finishing strong, collecting points even in tough conditions, and preparing well off the track. Physical training, studying data, and trusting my team have all played a big role in securing my position so far,” she shared. Zakirah treats every competitor equally but admits that her role as one of the few female riders motivates her to push harder. “I treat every rider the same regardless of gender, because once we’re on the grid it’s about performance. But yes, being one of the few female riders pushes me to raise my standards, not just to prove myself, but to show that women can compete at the same level in this sport. I hope that inspires more women to step into racing,” she said. Her training routine reflects the intensity required to compete at this level. “Physically, I focus a lot on strength and conditioning, cardio for endurance, and core strength for control. Mentally, I prepare by reviewing race data, visualizing scenarios, and keeping a strong, positive mindset. Racing can be unpredictable, so mental focus is just as important as the physical side,” she explained. With Round 3 of MSBK 2025 taking place this weekend, Zakirah remains focused on the bigger picture. “My main target is to stay consistent and keep collecting strong points, because that’s what makes the biggest difference over the season. Of course, I’d love to move higher up in the standings, and I feel confident with the preparation I’ve done and the experience I’ve gained. The competition will be tough, but I’m ready to give it my best,” she affirmed. Above all, Zakirah hopes her journey continues to pave the way for others. “I want young women to know that racing is not limited by gender. If you have the passion and determination, you can achieve your goals. It’s not always an easy journey, but with hard work and belief in yourself, it’s possible to compete at the same level as anyone else. I hope my journey shows that there’s a place for women in so-called ‘male-dominated’ sports too,” she said.
Round 3 of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit saw Azroy Hakeem Anuar of HONDA RACING MALAYSIA set the benchmark in the MSBK1000 A category, topping the combined practice times.

Lachlan Epis of SAVITAR TEAM ASIA impressed in third with 2’09.048s, while Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin of HONG LEONG YAMAHA MALAYSIA and Muhammad Zaqhwan Zaidi of HONDA RACING MALAYSIA completed the top five. The weather then shifted for Free Practice 2, as rain left the track wet and challenging. Adam adapted best to the conditions, topping the session with 2’22.020s. Andi Farid Izdihar of ASTRA HONDA RACING was close behind in second, followed by Azroy, Zaqhwan, and Kasma. Despite the slower lap times, riders took the opportunity to gather valuable data for potential wet races. With his FP1 pace proving decisive, Azroy maintained the overall lead in the combined results ahead of Adam and Epis, while Kasma and Zaqhwan rounded off the top five. Azroy shared, “I’m feeling quite okay today because it’s been a while since I last rode a 1000cc bike at the Sepang Circuit. Now I’m getting used to the feeling on the bike again, so Alhamdulillah. For us, the lap time is still far from what we are targeting, but we still have time tomorrow and the day after, so we’ll do better then.” SIC AND TWMR WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO AEON CREDIT (M) BERHAD FOR THE SUPPORT RENDERED THIS WEEKEND DURING AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP.
