Qualifying tyres for the ASB1000 and SS600 classes was probably the biggest pre-season news of the 2022 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship.
This will be the first time qualifying tyres are introduced for the premiere classes of the ARRC. Since its inception in 1996, the championship alongside its long-term tyre partner Dunlop, pioneered the use of single-tyre rules to help Asian teams cut cost without cutting performance.
The introduction of the qualifying tyres will add yet another layer of strategy for the team managers and data engineers. It will also help the riders push their limits as qualifying laptimes are expected to tumble.
