2025 IDEMITSU FIM Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) is fast approaching. Wahyu Aji Trilaksana is preparing for another thrilling season in the UB150 category. More than just a competitor on the track, Wahyu is also the driving force behind RACETECH SIXTY Racing Team as its owner. Following a ninth-place overall finish in 2024 season, the experienced Indonesian rider is determined to elevate his performance and push his team to new heights this season.
The break between seasons has been a crucial period for Wahyu, who has dedicated his time to both personal development and team progress.
“I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family and working on securing new sponsorships for the 2025 season. Since January, I have intensified my physical training and motocross practice to enhance my endurance and bike-handling skills. Maintaining peak fitness is essential for UB150, where races are highly competitive and unpredictable.”
With less than two months until the ARRC 2025 season kicks off, Wahyu and his team have been diligently preparing under the new technical regulations.
“We have been conducting research and development (R&D) to adapt to the 2025 regulation changes. While there aren’t major adjustments, fine-tuning every aspect of our bikes will be key to staying competitive. Overall, we are confident in our preparations and the progress we have made so far.”
This season, RACETECH SIXTY Racing Team welcomes a new rider, Dimas Juli Atmoko, who previously raced with One For All in 2024.
“Having Dimas in the team is a great addition. He brings three years of ARRC experience, and I believe his insights will be valuable for our overall performance. We also have new sponsors coming in, which means a fresh new look for the team this year. These changes bring excitement and motivation for the entire team.”
There have been speculations about RACETECH SIXTY Racing Team running motorcycles from two different manufacturers this season. Wahyu clarified the situation, “The rumor isn’t entirely true. We will continue to race with two Yamaha bikes, just like last season. However, we have a new team partner who will be using Honda bikes under their own program. This collaboration expands our presence in the paddock, but it doesn’t change our core team structure.”
For the upcoming season, Wahyu remains focused on improving both his personal and team results. “We cannot predict how things will unfold, but we will give our absolute best to achieve better results than in 2024. Of course, the ultimate goal is the championship—either the individual title or the team championship. We’ll take it race by race and push ourselves to the limit.”
Despite the changes in the team, Wahyu believes they have a solid foundation to build upon. “There won’t be a significant difference from last season in terms of our operations, but having Dimas onboard could give us an advantage. His experience will add depth to the team, and I’m looking forward to seeing how we can grow together throughout the season.”
