ROUND 8 MALAYSIA PETRONAS CUB PRIX CHAMPIONSHIP


ROUND 8 MALAYSIA PETRONAS CUB PRIX CHAMPIONSHIP

TANGKAK: Top spot in the CP150 at the Tangkak Racing Track (Round 8, PETRONAS Malaysian Cub Prix Championship) went the way of title incumbent Ahmad Afif Amran after the PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha-CKJ Racing rider posted 43.877s to establish a new lap record for the 1.025km track.

With wet weather seemingly on the horizon for the finals on Saturday, the first half of the CP150 qualifier saw a flurry of fast laps before Afif established the order for the SuperPole. The Terengganu-born rider was the first to break the 43s barrier, and remained uncontested for the rest of the qualifying session.

Afif’s closest title contender, Azroy Hakeem Anuar from the Idemitsu Honda Yuzy Racing Team was the only rider to get closest to Afif’s blistering time. The Honda rider posted 43.922s, only 0.065s behind Afif.

Behind Azroy, PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha-CKJ Racing’s Mohd Aiman Tahiruddin, Motul Yamaha YY Pang’s Mohd Azhar Abd Jalil and AHM Motorsports Yamaha Racing’s Mohd Iqbal Amri Abdul Malek completed the top five order in the CP150 qualifier.

Of the five, Iqbal would have a thing or two to prove during the SuperPole session ahead of the CP150 finals. The AHM rider stunned the grid when he qualified for pole position at the Tangkak Racing Track in Round 3. Since that achievement, Iqbal had spent the rest of the season struggling to gain momentum.
