The Underbone 150cc has picked up its pace for Round 2 of the Idemitsu FIM Asia Road Racing Championship and being held at Sepang International Circuit, it may be of greater advantage to the Malaysian riders especially Hafiza Rofa of ONEXOX TKKR RACING TEAM, currently at the lead position. Nevertheless, the end result is often unforeseeable until it’s over.

In Practice 2, Akid emerged fastest when he clocked in his best time at 2’32:927s. Nazirul on the other hand made second fastest at 2’33:331s. At third fastest spot for the evening was Murobbil Vittoni of LPN H. PUTRA. 969 INDONESIA RACING TEAM who marked his best at 2’33:698s. As a conclusion, Akid made the fastest in the combined result followed by Nazirul and Murobbil at the second and third spot respectively.
Commenting on the race, Akid said, “Today’s session has been really good compared to Round 1. In terms of engine, we have made quite a significant improvement, at least about 50%. I feel more confident with the handling now. For Super Pole, I don’t have high hopes but for the race, I am definitely hoping to be on the podium.”
