WHERE’S EVERYONE? KASMA WINS DEBUT 1000cc RACE… EFFORTLESSLY
Kasma Daniel Kasmayuddin enjoyed a dream debut in the litre class when he effortlessly walked away with the race win in Race 1 of the 2021 Malaysia Superbike Championship (MSBK) season opener at the Sepang International Circuit.
Starting the race from pole position, Kasma enjoyed a lights-to-flag victory unencumbered by challenges from any other rider. The young debutant, equipped with the Yamaha YZF-R1M, was super smooth throughout the 10-lap race which he won with a time of 21’23.783s.
A whopping 9.9 seconds behind Kasma, Azlan Shah Kamaruzaman visibly struggled with an uncooperative bike. Azlan was forced to settle for second with 21’32.698s, followed by MME Racing Team Malaysia’s Ahmad Daniel Haiqal in third.
“While it is thrilling to win my debut race in the 1000cc class, I am looking forward to more battles in the coming races. I learn nothing if I race alone and just keep to my race pace. So I’m hoping Azlan and his team will have resolved his suspension issues by Race 2 and I’m also looking forward to Zaqhwan coming back to join the grid for Race 2. At least then, I’ll have someone to play with,” said Kasma.
