Race 2 of the UB150 category at Round 2 of the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2026 delivered another closely contested race at the Chang International Circuit, Buriram, Thailand, with Husni Zainul Fuadzy of ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34 emerging victorious.
At the start, April King Mascardo of RACETECH YAMAHA PHILIPPINES RACING TEAM made a strong launch to take the early lead, followed by Nazirul Izzat Muhammad Bahauddin of UMA RACING YAMAHA MAJU MOTOR TEAM. However, the field quickly formed into the usual UB150 front pack, with positions changing continuously through the opening laps.
By Lap 2, Husni had joined the battle at the front alongside April, Ahmad Darwisy Ahmad Sahir, Shahrol Syazras Shahrol Yuzy and Muhammad Adib Arsyad Mohd Hisam.
Lap 3 saw Adib briefly move into the lead while Indonesia’s Dimas Juli Atmoko of HJS YOUNGSTAR KAWAHARA RCTH SIXTY also entered the fight at the front.
On Lap 4, Fadli Rigani of YAMAHA LFN HP969 INDONESIA RACING TEAM moved into contention after setting the fastest lap of the race at 2’02.357s and taking over the lead. However, his challenge ended on Lap 6 after suffering an engine problem while leading the race. At the front, the battle remained tight between Husni, Nazirul, Adytya Fauzi, Syazras and Rendi Odding, with no rider able to create a gap heading into the closing laps.
Drama unfolded again on the final lap when Kiki Sudarman Manurung of JPNW SND FACTORY RACING crashed, while Nazirul and John Emerson Inguito of 4S1M EVO YAMAHA Racing Team SNIPER 150 also crashed at the final corner during the fight for podium positions.
Husni stayed consistent throughout the race and crossed the finish line first in 16’37.890s to secure victory. Dimas initially finished second on the road, but a post-race penalty for exceeding track limits at Turn 12 dropped him to fourth place.
As a result, Darwisy was promoted to second with a finishing time of 16’38.280s, while Adytya completed the podium in third at 16’38.301s.
Husni said, “First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude, Alhamdulillah for today’s result. A huge thank you as well to the team for all their hard work throughout this week, and to everyone who kept me in their prayers and continued supporting me. It truly means a lot to me.
The race was incredibly exciting and challenging because, at Turn 3, there was a bit of rain, while the rest of the circuit remained dry. The mixed conditions made it very tricky and demanded extra focus from all of us. After the mistake I made in Race 1, I reminded myself to stay calm and learn from that experience instead of letting it affect my confidence.
Even in the final lap, I focused on staying composed and making the right decisions. Alhamdulillah, the lesson from Race 1 helped me approach Race 2 with a better mindset, and thankfully everything worked out in the end. I’m truly grateful for today’s blessing and result. Thank you so much to everyone who supported me. This means a lot.”
