Gupita Kresna Wardhana of ZIEAR LFN HP969 MCR RBT 34 achieved the near impossible in UB150 with an incredible performance in Race 2 of the opening round of the 2025 IDEMITSU FIM Asia Road Racing Championship, held today at the Chang International Circuit, Buriram, Thailand.
The race saw positions change rapidly at every turn, with each rider fiercely contesting for the lead. No one allowed anyone else to maintain the top spot for long, which made the race result highly unpredictable.
In a race category where, close finishes are more the norm than the exception, Gupita delivered a spectacular surprise in the final lap. Breaking free from the tightly packed group, he demonstrated exceptional skill and top speed, reaching 171.4 km/h as he accelerated down the final straight, pulling a decisive gap toward the finish line.
Gupita crossed the line with a time of 16’29:405s, 0.356s ahead of the main group. Adytya Fauzi of JPNW SND FACTORY RACING secured second place with a time of 16’29:761s, while Dimas Juli Atmoko of RACETECH SIXTY RACING rounded out the podium in third at 16’29:930s.
After his remarkable victory, Gupita shared his excitement, saying, “This is my first time winning here in Thailand. In previous seasons in UB150 class, I never managed to reach the podium; my best result was only P6. But Alhamdulillah, in Race 2 of Round 1 in the 2025 season, I was able to pull off this victory. It’s a huge achievement for me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to race here and make it to the top.”
