Wahyu Aji Trilaksana of ONEXOX TKKR Racing Team bagged the winning spot in Race 1, Round 3 of the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship which was held in Sugo International Racing Course for the Underbone 150cc category.
The race category known for its complexity and the need for an unsurpassed technical expertise saw Wahyu Aji putting on a competitive fight in his bid to take victory. Wahyu took the 8 th spot on the grid but that never dragged him down as he picked up speed, lap by lap. While Wahyu struggled to get into the top five position in the first two laps, he made it at P5 in lap three.
Wahyu Aji fell to P6 in the fourth lap but the length of the circuit gave him enough time to make it back to the top five group in the following lap.

Commenting on the race, Wahyu Aji said, “This was a fantastic race for me, being able to take a step up on the podium once again. Overall, the team and I had good communication and I was immersed in such superb positive energy from the beginning.”
