Round 4 of LFN FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2026 at the Mandalika International Circuit, Indonesia watched Husni Zainul Fuadzy of ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34 secured UB150 victory on home soil.
At the start, Husni executed a perfect launch to lead but was quickly overtaken by Md Syafiq Rasol of AEON CREDIT JQK ZYNERGYS CARDINALS. The pack soon formed into a large, tightly contested group. Unfortunately, early frustration hit Md Silmi Helsinky of ONE FOR ALL, who retired due to a machine problem.
By Lap 2, Husni reclaimed the front, followed by Akbar Abud Afdalah of SAE RACING TEAM and Dimas Juli Atmoko of HJS YOUNGSTAR KAWAHARA RCTH SIXTY. April King Mascardo of RACETECH YAMAHA PHILIPPINES RACING TEAM and Ahmad Darwisy Ahmad Sahir of YUZY ASIA TEAM rounded out the top five.
The order shifted on Lap 3 as M. Syirat Sauki of YAMAHA LFN HP969 INDONESIA RACING TEAM took the lead. Aditya Fauzi of JPNW SND FACTORY RACING and John Emerson Inguito of 4S1M EVO YAMAHA Racing Team moved up, but the tight corners claimed several riders, as Aditya, Darwisy, and John all crashed out.
On Lap 5, Ilham Elsan Efendi of ONE FOR ALL moved to the front. The pace quickened as Akbar set a fastest lap of 1’55.267s, improving it on Lap 6 to 1’55.181s. The lead constantly changed hands, with April and Nazirul Izzat Muhammad Bahauddin of UMA RACING YAMAHA MAJU MOTOR TEAM also taking turns at the front.
Lap 7 saw Husni manage a 0.554s breakaway. Heading into the final lap, Syirat closed the gap to lead the group. However, Husni patiently executed a perfect slipstream to cross the line first at 15’33.175s. Syirat took second at 15’33.225s, while Dimas secured third at 15’33.530s.
Husni said, “I am deeply grateful for this victory, and I want to extend a massive thank you to my entire team. Going into the race, my strategy was to stick to my usual riding style, keep pushing the pace, and focus intensely on defending my track position. It was a very fierce battle, but I tried to manage the situation calmly.”
“Alhamdulillah, entering the final two laps, I found the opening I needed. On the final lap through Turn 3, I took a quick glance and realized I had pulled a slight gap. That gave me a huge surge of adrenaline, and I immediately twisted the throttle to increase my speed.”
“In the closing stages, I saw Syirat making a hard charge. Instead of letting it disrupt my rhythm, I used his move to my tactical advantage. He became the perfect target, I tucked in right behind him, used his slipstream for maximum top speed, and executed a perfect slingshot pass to take the lead. It was a thrilling finish, and I am absolutely overjoyed!”
