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.

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!” TOP 5 FASTEST – RACE 2 1. HUSNI ZAINUL FUADZY – ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34 (15’33.175s) 2. M.

HUSNI STOOD TALL IN MANDALIKA

The UB150 category at the Round 4 of LFN FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2026 delivered an incredibly close and unpredictable Race 1 at the Mandalika International Circuit in Indonesia. Husni Zainul Fuadzy of ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34 held his nerve, navigating the chaos to cross the finish line victorious. As the race started, Md Shafiq Rasol of AEON CREDIT JQK ZYNERGYS CARDINALS made a solid start off the line to take the early lead. Husni closely followed in second position, while Muhammad Adib Arsyad Mohd Hisam of UMA RACING YAMAHA MAJU MOTOR TEAM slotted into third. Akbar Abud Afdalah of SAE RACING TEAM and Hafid Pratamaditya Nursandi of ABEN RACING rounded out the initial top five. However, the slipstreaming nature of the UB150 class quickly took over, forming a large, inseparable leading group. By the lap 2, Dimas Juli Atmoko of HJS YOUNGSTAR KAWAHARA RCTH SIXTY navigated his way to the front, followed by Adib and Rendi Odding of 4S1M EVO YAMAHA Racing Team. Ahmad Darwisy Ahmad Sahir of YUZY ASIA TEAM and M. Syirat Sauki of YAMAHA LFN HP969 INDONESIA RACING TEAM also joined the front-runners. No single rider was able to break away from the pack, resulting in continuous position changes at nearly every turn on the circuit. The middle phase of the seven-lap sprint saw a revolving door of race leaders. On lap three, Md Silmi Helsinky pushed his way to the front, ahead of Dimas and John Emerson Inguito of 4S1M EVO YAMAHA Racing Team. The order shuffled entirely again on lap 4 as Adytya Fauzi of ONE FOR ALL took the lead, with Wahyu Aji Trilaksana of HJS YOUNGSTAR KAWAHARA RCTH SIXTY and Husni close behind. Fadli Rigani of YAMAHA LFN HP969 INDONESIA RACING TEAM sat tightly in fourth. The fierce competition was evident when Nazirul Izzat Muhammad Bahauddin of UMA RACING YAMAHA MAJU MOTOR TEAM made a brilliant charge to fourth, only to drop back to tenth, before surging all the way back to the lead on lap 5. Nazirul’s time at the front was short-lived, however, as he was quickly overtaken by Fadli and Wahyu. Heading into lap 6, the lead continued to change hands relentlessly. Amidst the continuous swapping, Husni and Akbar stood out for their ability to maintain their positions within the front group, avoiding the mid-pack turbulence. The tension finally boiled over on the seventh and final lap. With all riders pushing aggressively for a podium finish, the tight racing resulted in incidents. Dimas and Syirat crashed out of contention, and shortly after, Silmi also went down. Staying clear of the late-stage incidents and holding his racing line, Husni crossed the finish line to claim a well-deserved victory with a time of 15:40.296s. Rendi seized the opportunity on the final stretch to finish second at 15:40.938s, while Wahyu secured third place just fractions of a second behind at 15:40.974s. Husni said, “Alhamdulillah, I am overflowing with gratitude today. My heart is still racing from that final lap! First and foremost, I want to say a massive thank you to my entire team for working tirelessly and providing me with such a great bike, and to my family for their endless support, love, and prayers. This result means the world to all of us. The race out there today was incredibly fierce from the very moment the lights went out. The pack was so tight, you could physically feel the pressure from the riders around you. The battles were absolutely relentless, meaning you couldn’t afford to lose focus or make a mistake for even a fraction of a second.” “Going into the race, we had a very clear game plan, and Alhamdulillah, the blessings were truly on my side today. I managed to stay completely calm amidst all the shuffling and chaos, managed my tires well in the heat, and executed our strategy perfectly right up to the final corner. I am so deeply thankful to finish such a tough, unpredictable race with a strong victory. Now, our focus immediately shifts to tomorrow. We will sit down and review the data tonight, and I pray that I can carry this exact same momentum and fighting spirit into Race 2 to step foot onto that top step of the podium once again.” TOP 5 FASTEST – RACE 1 1.

RENDI, HOMEBOUND AND HUNGRY

Coming off a successful Round 3 weekend, Rendi Odding and the 4S1M EVO YAMAHA Racing Team approaching Mandalika International Circuit, Indonesia, with strong momentum for Round 4 of LFN FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2026. After securing back-to-back second-place finishes and helping his squad achieve a one-two result in Mobility Resort Motegi, Japan, Rendi now sets his sights on securing a UB150 victory in front of his home crowd. Currently sitting second in the overall standings and trailing leader Husni Zainul Fuadzy of ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT3 by 38 points, Rendi’s steady consistency keeps him firmly in title contention. With Mandalika hosting the next chapter of this competitive season, where Indonesian riders currently hold the top five championship positions, another exciting race weekend is expected. Following their success in Japan, Rendi remains proud but focused. “The results in Japan provided a great motivation boost for me and the entire crew. We proved that our hard work behind the scenes is truly paying off.” “However, we are also aware that every circuit brings its own set of challenges. We are keeping our heads down and focusing heavily on preparation to ensure we maintain this positive form heading into Mandalika.” The UB150 class is well known for its close racing and unpredictable pack battles. Rendi knows that bridging the gap to the championship lead requires smart tactics as well as speed. He understands that securing a maiden 2026 victory means mastering those crucial final laps. “We are very close to reaching that top step. It mostly comes down to improving a few fine details and taking advantage of every small opportunity on the final lap.” “A 38 point gap is significant, but the season is still long. My strategy relies on consistency. We are aiming to secure as many points as possible without taking unnecessary risks. If the right opportunity for a win appears, I will certainly take it.” Managing the pressure of UB150 pack racing is a difficult challenge that Rendi has learned to navigate through years of competition. “Experience is helpful when you are caught in a massive slipstream group. I always try to remain calm, read the movements of my rivals, and choose the exact right moment to attack or defend. Clear communication and strategy with the team before the race are also vital in these situations.” Navigating Mandalika’s fast flowing corners and demanding braking zones presents a specific technical challenge for the team crews. However, racing on home soil provides Rendi with an important emotional advantage. “Mandalika is a challenging circuit that requires a very balanced setup, especially concerning handling and traction, to keep the bike stable over race distance.” “But beyond the technical side, racing here is a deeply special moment for me. The incredible support from the Indonesian fans always gives me an extra push to perform at my absolute best. Getting my first win of the season here is the main goal. I want to maximize every session, from practice to the race, to give our fans the best possible results.”

JOHN ENDED 3 YEAR WAIT

The UB150 class delivered an unforgettable spectacle at Mobility Resort Motegi, Japan as John Emerson Inguito of 4S1M EVO YAMAHA Racing Team emerged victorious in a dramatic Race 1 encounter at Round 3 of the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2026. Inguito claimed his second victory in the UB150 category with a winning time of 18’39.610s, remarkably returning to the top step of the podium at the very same country where he celebrated his first victory three years ago at Sportsland Sugo International Circuit. Starting from third on the grid, John was among a large lead group that battled fiercely from the opening lap. Pole-sitter Dimas Juli Atmoko of HJS YOUNGSTAR KAWAHARA RCTH SIXTY initially controlled proceedings after leading away from the start ahead of Husni Zainul Fuadzy of ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34 and Nazirul Izzat Muhammad Bahauddin of UMA RACING YAMAHA MAJU MOTOR TEAM. As the race started, the lead changed hands repeatedly. Dimas continued to dictate the pace during the early laps, but challengers quickly emerged from all directions. Muhammad Adib Arsyad Mohd Hisam UMA RACING YAMAHA MAJU MOTOR TEAM stormed into contention after setting the fastest lap of 2’18.880s on Lap 3, while April King Mascardo of RACETECH YAMAHA PHILIPPINES RACING TEAM launched an impressive charge from seventh to the front after recording a new fastest lap of 2’18.175s on Lap 4. The momentum continued to swing dramatically. April briefly seized the lead on Lap 5 before M. Syirat Sauki of YAMAHA LFN HP969 INDONESIA RACING TEAM took his turn at the front one lap later. Lap 7 saw Adytya Fauzi of JPNW SND FACTORY RACING produce the fastest lap of the race, a blistering 2’17.151s, as he surged into the lead and further intensified an already unpredictable contest. Adding to the drama, Nazirul’s promising run ended prematurely when he slowed with what appeared to be a technical issue while battling near the front. Everything came down to a breathtaking final lap. John timed his charge perfectly to reclaim the lead, with Ahmad Darwisy Ahmad Sahir of YUZY ASIA TEAM, Rendi Odding of 4S1M EVO YAIMAHA Racing Team and several others still firmly in contention. The riders crossed the finish line separated by mere fractions of a second. Behind John, teammate Rendi completed a memorable one-two finish for 4S1M EVO YAMAHA Racing Team in 18’39.721s. Dimas secured the final podium position in 18’39.730s, just 0.009s behind Rendi. An emotional John said, “The final lap was very amazing. We fought with so many riders, including my teammate. I was trying to create a small gap at every corner so I could execute my strategy and defend our positions. The temperature was getting higher and I was very nervous. On the last lap, I prayed and asked God for help, and He gave me this result. Thank you to my fellow Filipinos, my friends and my family for all the prayers and for giving me this opportunity to stand on the top of the podium.” TOP 5 FASTEST – RACE 1 1.

HUSNI STAMPED AUTHORITY IN MOTEGI

Husni Zainul Fuadzy ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34 delivered a commanding performance in the UB150 class as Round 3 of the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2026 got underway at Mobility Resort Motegi, Japan, topping the combined practice standings despite dramatically changing weather conditions on Friday. Husni emerged as the rider to beat after setting a blistering lap time of 2’16.715s in Practice 1, a benchmark that remained untouched throughout the day. Even when rain arrived for the second session, Husni demonstrated impressive adaptability by once again finishing at the top of the timesheets with a lap of 2’22.426s, underlining both his pace and consistency heading into qualifying. The opening practice session saw riders take full advantage of dry conditions, with Husni immediately laying down a marker. However, the battle behind him was intense. Indonesia’s Dimas Juli Atmoko of HJS YOUNGSTAR KAWAHARA RCTH SIXTY secured second overall with a best lap of 2’18.228s, while local favourite Adytya Fauzi of JPNW SND FACTORY RACING delighted the Japanese crowd by placing third with a 2’18.721s effort. Less than seven-tenths of a second separated second to fourth positions, highlighting the competitiveness of the UB150 field. M. Syirat Sauki from YAMAHA LFN HP969 INDONESIA RACING TEAM claimed fourth overall with a lap of 2’18.905s, while Dimas’ teammate Wahyu Aji Trilaksana completed the top five after recording 2’19.137s. The afternoon session brought an entirely different challenge as rain swept across Mobility Resort Motegi, forcing teams and riders to quickly adapt their setups and riding styles. Once again, Husni rose to the occasion, leading Adytya and Dimas in a Practice 2 session. The wet conditions also allowed YUZY ASIA TEAM riders to make their presence felt, with Shahrol Syazras Shahrol Yuzy and Ahmad Darwisy Ahmad Sahir finishing fourth and fifth respectively in Practice 2, demonstrating strong pace when grip levels became unpredictable. While Husni’s dominance across both sessions makes him the early favourite, the combined standings suggest the battle for pole position and race honours remains wide open. With Dimas, Adytya, Syirat and Wahyu all within striking distance, the UB150 class is shaping up for another thrilling showdown at Motegi. Husni commented, “Today was a very positive day for us in both Practice 1 and Practice 2, and the results have given us good confidence heading into Qualifying and Race 1 tomorrow. In Practice 1, Alhamdulillah, we immediately found a good setup using our first engine, which allowed us to be competitive from the start. Practice 2 was affected by rain, but despite the challenging conditions, we still managed to improve our best lap time today. I would like to thank the team for their hard work, and hopefully tomorrow I can deliver my best performance in both Qualifying and the race.” TOP 5 FASTEST – COMBINED PRACTICE 1.

PODIUM SPARKS NEW TARGET FOR DARWISY

After a season of learning following his full-time debut in FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2025, Ahmad Darwisy Ahmad Sahir of YUZY ASIA TEAM finally celebrated a long-awaited breakthrough with a sensational second-place finish in Race 2 of Round 2 in UB150 category at the Chang International Circuit, Buriram, Thailand, marking his first podium since entering the championship. For Darwisy, the result carried far more meaning than just a trophy. It was validation for the sacrifices, hard work, and relentless effort invested since his debut season. “It definitely feels amazing. This podium feels like a tonic for me, something that motivates and pushes me to work even harder and train harder to maintain this momentum. Waiting for this moment was not easy, so achieving it feels incredibly rewarding,” said Darwisy. The emotions grew stronger after crossing the finish line in one of the fierce battles. “At first, I honestly couldn’t believe I was on the podium. The race was extremely intense, especially fighting against so many experienced riders. When I crossed the finishing line with such a close gap to the other riders, I was overwhelmed with emotion. It was a mixed feeling of happiness, relief, and disbelief all at once. This was my first podium in ARRC, and I started to cry. At that moment, the only people in my mind were my family back home,” he revealed. Throughout the race, Darwisy remained calm and calculated before eventually believing a podium was within reach. “In the beginning, my focus was just to maintain my pace in the front group. But with two laps remaining, my confidence started building because I was still there fighting. That was when I pushed harder and increased my pace to fight for the podium,” he explained. Initially targeting a Top 10 overall finish this season, Darwisy admitted the podium has shifted his ambitions. “Now, I want to aim higher. I want to fight for a Top 5 position overall and continue improving,” he said. Having shown steady progression in his second season, including consistently collecting points and maintaining stronger pace with the front runners, Darwisy now enters the remainder of 2026 with renewed confidence. “This podium puts me on fire. It makes me hungry for more, and I definitely want another podium or even victory, InsyaAllah,” he said.

HUSNI STOOD TALL IN BURIRAM

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.” TOP 5 FASTEST – RACE 2 1. HUSNI ZAINUL FUADZY – ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34 (16’37.890s) 2.

In a contest defined by relentless lead changes, Fadli Rigani of YAMAHA LFN HP969 INDONESIA RACING TEAM emerged victorious from absolute chaos to claim a sensational Race 1 triumph. After storming to Superpole with a stunning lap of 2’03.172s, Husni Zainul Fuadzy of ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34 looked poised to dominate on Saturday.

Slipstream battles intensified down Chang International Circuit’s long straights as no rider could create even the slightest breathing room. By Lap 2, Husni had reclaimed the lead, but the pressure was mounting. Teammate Gupita Kresna Wardhana fired in the fastest lap of the race at that point with a blistering 2’03.914s, while Nazirul muscled his way back into contention to ensure the front group remained fiercely competitive. The complexion of the race shifted again on Lap 3, as John Emerson Inguito of 4S1M EVO YAMAHA Racing Team stormed to the front, followed closely by Adytya Fauzi of JPNW SND FACTORY RACING, Husni, Rendi Odding and Shahrol Syazras Shahrol Yuzy of YUZY ASIA TEAM. One lap later, Adytya seized control, only for Ahmad Darwisy Ahmad Sahir of YUZY ASIA TEAM to answer with a scorching fastest lap of 2’03.072s as yet another challenger joined the ever-growing lead pack. The unpredictability continued into Lap 5 as Dimas Juli Atmoko of HJS YOUNGSTAR KAWAHARA RCTH SIXTY briefly rose to the front, proving once again that no position was safe in a race where fortunes changed corner by corner. As the field thundered onto the final lap, Husni, Rendi, Shahrol Syazras, Gupita and M. Syirat Sauki of YAMAHA LFN HP969 INDONESIA RACING TEAM remained locked in a fierce battle. Yet all eyes were on Nazirul, who appeared perfectly positioned for victory as he charged toward the final corner at the front. In a cruel twist of fate, Nazirul crashed at the decisive moment, opening the door for a dramatic last-gasp victory. Keeping his composure amidst the chaos, Fadli surged through to snatch victory in 16’40.642s, edging out Wahyu Aji Trilaksana of HJS YOUNGSTAR KAWAHARA RCTH SIXTY by just 0.137s. Husni, despite leading much of the race, settled for third place, just 0.169s adrift of the winner. Rendi finished fourth, while Gupita completed the top five in a race where mere fractions separated triumph from heartbreak. Fadli said, “Alhamdulillah, I’m truly grateful for today’s race and the result we achieved. From the opening laps, my main focus was to carefully manage the bike’s temperature while maintaining a strong position at the front of the group. I knew it was important to stay patient, avoid pushing too hard too early, and control the race rhythm as best as possible. As the race progressed, I began to feel more confident and understood the right moment to increase the pace. In the final laps, I gave everything I had and pushed harder to make my move. Thankfully, all the strategy, patience, and hard work paid off, and I was able to take the win. It’s a really special feeling, and I’m very happy with today’s result. A big thank you to the team and everyone who supported me throughout this race.” TOP 5 FASTEST – RACE 1 1. FADLI RIGANI – YAMAHA LFN HP969 INDONESIA RACING TEAM (16’40.642s) 2.
