Hakim Danish Joins Moto3™ Grid for PETRONAS Grand Prix of Malaysia 2025

Malaysian rider Hakim Danish Ramli is set to make his Moto3™ world debut on home soil with the AEON Credit SIC Racing MSI Team at the upcoming PETRONAS Grand Prix of Malaysia 2025, taking place from 24 to 26 October at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC).

The Moto3™ Wildcard Team Reveal Ceremony held at SIC was attended by YB Hannah Yeoh, Minister of Youth and Sports Malaysia, alongside representatives from AEON Credit Service (M) Berhad, SIC, and ZK Racing Sdn. Bhd.

During the event, AEON Credit and ZK Racing signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen their collaboration under the Malaysian Motorsports Development (MDEV) Blueprint, a national programme spearheaded by KBS and SIC to nurture local racing talent.

YB Hannah Yeoh praised the initiative, noting that it showcases how government and private sectors can work together to help Malaysian athletes reach the world stage.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports has allocated RM3 million under the High-Performance MDEV Programme, with another RM1 million through KWASN to support Hakim Danish’s international campaign. In addition, AEON Credit has contributed RM1 million to support Hakim’s Moto3™ wildcard debut.

SIC CEO Azhan Shafriman Hanif said, “Hakim Danish is the first product of our development programme. His journey from the SIC MiniGP to the MotoGP™ grid proves that the MDEV ladder works.”

Fans can cheer for Hakim Danish live at Sepang. In support of the Malaysia MADANI initiative, Tiket Rahmah K2 Hillstand tickets are priced at RM49.90 via www.sepangcircuit.com.

Hafizh Conquers Sepang in Scorching Style!

Malaysian hero Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah thrilled the home crowd with a dominant victory in Race 1 of the ASB1000 class at the IDEMITSU FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2025, held at Sepang International Circuit.

Racing under blistering 41°C heat, the JDT Racing Team rider led from the start and never looked back. Rivals Azroy Hakeem Anuar and Muhammad Zaqhwan Zaidi tried to challenge, but crashes and tyre wear reshuffled the pack. Hafizh managed the tough conditions with skill, crossing the line in 25’26.781s, ahead of Zaqhwan and Thailand’s Nakarin Atiratphuvapat.

“The last four laps were really tough managing the front tyre,” Hafizh said. “When Keito crashed, I told myself to stay calm and enjoy the moment. This win is for the team, my family, and all the fans who came to support.”

Top 5 – Race 1 (ASB1000)
1️⃣ Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah – JDT Racing Team
2️⃣ Muhammad Zaqhwan Zaidi – Idemitsu Honda Racing Malaysia
3️⃣ Nakarin Atiratphuvapat – Honda Racing Thailand

Zero Car Ensures Safety at Rally of Sepang, Malaysia Festival of Speed

Sepang, Malaysia – The Rally of Sepang, held in conjunction with the Malaysia Festival of Speed 2025, brought not only high-octane action but also a strong focus on safety with the presence of the Zero Car.

For this edition, the 0 Car was driven by Mr. Shah Bandi with co-driver Haji Suhaimi Saiko, both experienced rally figures trusted with the important task of ensuring the stage was ready for competition.

Known as the final course-opening vehicle, the 0 Car runs through the rally stage moments before the first competitor begins. Its role is crucial – simulating competition pace to confirm that the route is clear, marshals are ready, and spectators are safely positioned.

Together with the 00 and 000 Cars, which pass earlier to carry out preliminary checks, the Zero Car forms a vital safety system in rally racing. Only after it completes its run and gives the green light does the rally officially begin.

At Sepang, the presence of the Zero Car – and the professionalism of Mr. Shah Bandi and Haji Suhaimi Saiko – underscored the strict safety protocols that make rallying not just thrilling, but also well-managed for all involved.
