VICTOR RACING TEAM. THE LEGACY LIVES ON

Late 2018, barely a month after the final round, the Asian paddock were shocked by the sudden news of the passing of team Webike Ikazuchi Racing’s principal, Victor Lim. Victor had been an integral part of the Asian series since its early days, first as a rider and then a team owner.

The team is now called the Victor Racing Team in his honour and will be represented by Indonesian rider Ahmad Yudhistira and Australian Patrick Li in the ASB1000.
