Mohd Akid Aziz and Ibrahim Norrodin will be making a guest appearance in the SuperSports 600cc class. The will be their first entry into the 600cc class of the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship.
Representing two different teams, Akid and Ibrahim will be filling in for Kasma Daniel Kasmayuddin and Adam Norrodin respectively.
Akid is no stranger to the ARRC competition. He had won the Underbone 150cc title in 2016 and is presently eighth in the standings for the Underbone class.
As the UB150 will not be racing at The Bend Motorsport Park, this has worked out well for the 21-year-old Malaysian.
“I’m looking forward to my first 600cc race this weekend. It is the perfect opportunity for me to prove myself in the hopes of securing a 600cc ride in the future,” said Akid.
On the other hand, this will be Ibrahim Norrodin’s official ARRC debut. The 19-year-old is the younger brother to Adam. While the elder Adam has been making headlines in his Moto3 career, Ibrahim had also proven his racing chops when he clinched the 2017 KTM Asia RC Cup title.
