The session today concluded with Qayyum being the fastest in the FP sessions, combined with his best lap time at 2’50:682s. He commented, “There are many challenges this round because I am also fighting for the championship. There are many riders of various calibre, from CP125, Wira and One-Make therefore, it is hard to say how it would go for the weekend but of course, I will do my best because I want to take the title. During the FP session earlier, I noticed that there are some issues with the machine and of course, we will try and rectify it tomorrow. In FP2, it was difficult to identify the issue due to the rain so, during qualifying tomorrow, we will try to find out exactly what is wrong. I managed to get some mileage during FP1 earlier so it was good. I also got a very good lap time. I am more confident for sure. I hope that I don’t make any mistakes, that is the most important thing.”

Md Adam Haikal Jahar made it second fastest for the day with his best lap time at 2’52:442s.

Md Syamil Amsyar of Liang Soon Racing Union made it third fastest with his best lap time at 2’52:761s.
