Race 1, Round 1 of the Malaysia Superbike Championship got off to a great start today at the Sepang International Circuit today. Clocking in fastest was Rakshith Dave of CRA Motorsports India in the MSBK250 B race category.

Earlier during the qualifying session, Ke Huan Ni went on to clock in fastest at 2’35:165s. At the second fastest was Rakshith Dave of CRA Motorsports India with his best at 2’35:169s. Nur Haikal Fikri of HJ Racing Team made the third fastest lap time at 2’35:172s.

The battle between the riders began with Rakshith taking the lead followed by Izrul and Ezrix. The Indian rider was steady in his position as he went on to take charge. At P4, Ke Huan Ni was trying to move ahead but the riders remained consistent with their pace. Throughout the 8-lap race, the riders guarded their positions well.

Rakshith went on to complete the race fastest at 1’10:190s.

Commenting on the race, Rakshith said, “It was a good race today. I managed to stay among the group A riders. I was able to fight for a moment with them before they fled ahead. So then, I began the battle with the CBR250 Challenge Cup riders. To me, the layout is a good one and racing here has been challenging yet interesting. We did not expect it to rain though, although we were amazed at how fast it dried up. So, we were happy about that. For tomorrow, we will maintain the strategy as today and hope to take the win.”

At the second fastest spot was Md Izrul Huzaimi of Horizon Racing Team, clocking in at 1’12:742s.

Third fastest went to Ke Huan Ni of Lady Boss Racing Team at 1’23:733s.
