QAYYUM MADE NEW LAP RECORD

The Malaysia Superbike Championship Round 2 began today with the practice sessions. For the Berjaya Sompo YAMAHA Y16ZR Race MasterClass, Abdullah Qayyum Razak of Twoway emerged fastest for the practice sessions, combined.
During practice session 1 that was held in the afternoon, Shafiq Ezzariq of New Chen Motorsports marked fastest with his best lap time at 2’53:736s. Second fastest was Qayyum Razak with his best lap time at 2’54:379s. Adie Putra of Boon Hua Motor scored third fastest with his best lap time at 2’54:647s. In practice session 2 that happened later in the evening, Qayyum emerged with a better result and emerged fastest at 2’51:611s followed by Iqram Danish of Taycon Motor with his best lap time at 2’51:695s. Third fastest was Syukran Aizat with his best lap time at 2’51:804s.
Today’s FP session ended with Qayyum raking it at the top of the list with his fastest lap time at 2’54:379s. The rider has strongly positioned himself in the overall standings with a total of 34 points after his win in Race 2 of Round 1. He currently leads with 1 point ahead of the rider in line. It would be a tough battle for Qayyum especially in maintaining his positions, even more so with the highly competitive riders in the race category.
Commenting on the session, Qayyum said, “During FP1, I was a little more relaxed to get adapted to the machine. I was a little uncomfortable after the race at Cub Prix last week. So, I had to find my pace and get used to this machine. I tried to stay within the racing line and minimise my mistakes. With that, I managed to score a new lap record. The machines are all standard so we need skills and experience to ride better in this race category. There is not much of a difference in terms of setup on the machine for this round. I want to win and hopefully I am able to keep up the momentum this round.”
Second fastest in the session was Ahmad Iqram Danish with his best at 2’51:695s.
Syukran Aizat of Henn Motors made it third fastest with his best lap time at 2’51:804s.
