Petronas Raceline Malaysia Bids Hafizh Syahrin Farewell

Team Petronas Raceline Malaysia parting ways with Hafizh Syahrin in 2018.
Hafizh Syahrin has finished on the podium twice this year.
He has been with team Petronas Raceline Malaysia for the past 10 years.

Kuala Lumpur 20 OCTOBER 2017 – Team PETRONAS RACELINE MALAYSIA has announced that Hafizh Syahrin will not be continuing with the team in the 2018 Moto2 season, after an illustrious 10 year partnership. (Click here for Team Petronas Raceline Malaysia’s official Facebook page.)

Team PETRONAS RACELINE MALAYSIA has had a very successful relationship with Hafizh Syahrin, dating back to 2007, when the young rider made his debut at the PETRONAS AAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship. Barry Leong, the Team Principal then, first discovered the budding star when he was racing in the Pocket Bike League.

“It has been a wonderful journey, seeing Hafizh progress throughout his career from racing in the PETRONAS AAM Malaysian Cub Prix, moving up the different classes, and advancing on to the Asia Road Racing Championship. Hafizh, under Team PETRONAS RACELINE MALAYSIA, then participated in The Australian Formula Extreme Championship in 2011, before we moved on to race in the FIM CEV Championship in Spain” said Barry.

“It truly has been an honour and a privilege for us as a team, to have grown together with Hafizh. I have known and guided him since he was 12 years old, racing as a very talented boy, and now, a passionate young adult. However, for everything that has a beginning, there has to be an ending, and we have come to a natural and amicable one” he said.

“Malaysia still has a pool of untapped local talents that are waiting to be discovered. Moving forward, Team Raceline will continue to develop and groom these young talents in setting higher goals to fully maximize their potential” he added.

Hafizh Syahrin has scored a few podium finishes in Moto2, including two this year, one of them at Motegi last week. Syahrin picked up his “Pescao” nickname when he was contesting in the CEV Championships in Spain. According to the rider, because he had always done well in the rain, his crew called him, “Pescao,” meaning “fish” in Spanish. True to his nickname, his podium finishes were mostly from racing in wet conditions.

Since his full season debut in 2014, Hafizh has steadily improved on his overall standings – 19th in 2014, 16th in 2015, 9th in 2016, and is currently in 9th with three rounds to go.

Hafizh Syahrin spreads joy of ‘Hari Raya’ at the Assen TT

Motorsport is an emotional sport, it is full of ups and downs, trials and tribulations and plenty of heartbreak. For our national racing heroes like Hafizh Shahrin, Khairul Idham Pawi and even Adam Norrodin, emotions were running high at last weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix (Assen TT) as the race coincided with Hari Raya (Eid celebrations).

Though they had to be far away from their families, who were undoubtedly stuck to the TV to watch the race, it was Hafizh Syahrin who brought some Raya cheer to the track.

The 23 year old was seen around the track in the traditional ‘baju melayu’ complete with songkok. He was also keen to share some local delicacies as he offered dates and other yummies to members of his team and others.

The racer from Ampang, who had a scary moment on track when his race bike threatened to high side him but managed to control it with brute force, shared some interesting photos on his social media page showing him mingling around, and even wearing the songkok on the starting grid, only replacing it with his helmet when it was time for the teams to clear the grid. Some members of his team too were seen donning the baju melayu complete with songkok on the starting grid and around the pits.

Hafizh Syahrin finished the race in 8th place after a strong showing.

To Hafizh we say tahniah and thank you for flying the Malaysian flag up high. And Selamat Hari Raya!
