Millar Buchanan, an 11-year-old racer who competed in the Ohvale UK Cup, lost his life following a training incident at the Crail Circuit Scotland, last Saturday.

  • the 11-year-old racer kiled during a training session at the Crail Circuit (Scotland) on Saturday.
  • SSBK champion, Callum Grigor, will wear the number 29 at the next round as tribute to the young rider’s death.

The young rider was competing in this year’s British Mini Bike Championship in the MiniGP 140/50 Championshiap and Ohvale 160 Cup category.

Acccording to reports, reigning Scottish Superbike Champion, Callum Grigor will compete at the next round of the SSBK wearing the number 29, as tribute to Buchanan.

Grigor also went on his social media, expressing his disbelief over the tragic incident.

“The sport we love is so so cruel sometimes.

“Millar was one of the most committed and talented young riders in Scotland and he was a true star of the future.

“I was lucky enough to share the track with Millar doing some coaching and playing around on minibikes and I cannot believe that this has happened.

“The world has lost a true little gentlemen and I am not alone when I say that he will be greatly missed by everyone in the racing community,” he said.

Ohvale UK also paid tribute to the 11-year-old.

“We have lost a member of our Ohvale family.  Millar Buchanan has sadly passed away after being involved in an accident over the weekend while training at Crail Circuit.

“Millar joined our Ohvale UK cup last year and it has been a pleasure to have him in the paddock and in our junior championships, he will be sorely missed by everyone.

“We extend our deepest sympathies to Andy and Pauline and the rest of his family and friends at this sad time,” Ohvale UK said in a statement.

The 2021 FIM MiniGP World Series was a success, with Spain’s Izan Rodriguez Alvarez emerging as the world champion at the final MotoGP round in Valencia.

The championship is a part of an effort to grow future MotoGP riders and a race endorsed by FIM and MotoGP organizing body, Dorna Sports.

Unfortunately, it might seem that someone else has already held the MiniGP trademark since 2008.

Ryan Fleming founded the NJminiGP race organization back in 2008, proving that he holds the right to the MiniGP name.

“We have spent over a decade working to build a program that this sport is in dire need of,” Fleming explained.

“We have worked to create a sustainable instructional and developmental program that supplies top talent for the highest level of motorcycle racing.

“We have franchised this product up and down the East Coast successfully. Our name is everything that we are. We can’t lose our name. 

“It’s who we are,” he said.

Moreover, the MotoAmerica Mini Cup series also goes by FIM MiniGP North America Championship; hence Fleming believed that Dorna is infringing the MiniGP name that belongs to him.

According to Fleming, he argues that the confusion could negatively impact his business despite the FIM-sanctioned race requiring Ohvale race bike while his NJminiGP rules include various bikes and models.

Despite the huge claims by Fleming, Dorna has yet to respond to the matter.

Farres Putra telah pun dinobat juara keseluruhan FIM MiniGP Malaysia Series sekaligus bakal menggalas cabaran negara ke Kejuaraan Dunia yang akan berlangsung di Valencia, Sepanyol, November ini.

Pelumba 13 tahun itu bakal ditemani Emil Idzhar dan Farish Hafiy yang menamatkan kejohanan di tempat kedua dan ketiga ke Valencia.

Farres muncul juara selepas mengutip 135 mata diikuti Emil dengan 122 mata dan Farish dengan 120 mata.

Berbeza dengan kejuaraan sebelumnya, edisi kali ini mendapat pengiktirafan Dorna yang juga merupakan pemegang hak penganjuran MotoGP.

Pengiktirafan ini juga menyaksikan para pelumba bersaing dengan jentera Ohvale 160cc buatan Itali dan melibatkan bakat muda berusia antara 11 hingga 13 tahun.

Sementara itu, pengurus pasukan ZK Racing dan bekas pelumba negara, Zulfahmi Khairuddin luah rasa gembira dengan pusingan kali ini.

“Saya amat gembira kerana perlumbaan berlangsung dan berakhir dengan selamat kerana pertama kali, mereka berlumba di litar basah, yang tentunya lebih mencabar.

“Apapun, saya gembira para pelumba pertama kali mendapat pengalaman untuk berlumba secara kompetitif di litar basah, yang sememangnya penting untuk perkembangan karier seorang pelumba.

“Saya juga gembira kerana kita akhirnya dapat memilih tiga pelumba teratas dalam FIM MiniGP Malaysia Series untuk bersaing pada kejuaraan dunia di Valencia. Saya yakin mereka mampu beraksi dengan baik dan mempamerkan prestasi membanggakan pada kejuaraan dunia ini,” jelasnya.

Pelumba muda negara, Hakim Danish, merekodkan dua kemenangan berturut-turut dalam Kejuaraan MiniGP Junior Coppa Italia yang berlangsung di Pomposa, Itali.

Pelumba berusia 14 tahun itu turut merekodkan catatan masa terpantas bagi kategori junior GP-2 190 sebelum terus memenangi perlumbaan 1 dan 2.

Hakim merupakan hasil daripada pembangunan bakat baru negara selepas muncul juara keseluruhan SIC MiniGP 2020 kategori 160cc.

Kejayaan itu menyaksikan dia layak ke Kejohanan Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup 2021 sebelum menempah tiket ke Kejuaraan FIM CEV 2021 bagi kategori European Talent Cup (ETC) bersama pasukan Liqui Moly Intact SIC Racing Team.

In collaboration with Ohvale, Petronas Sepang Racing Team (PSRT) is proud to bring you the limited edition Special Series MiniGP motorcycle.

Limited to only 46 units, the PSRT Ohvale Special Series MiniGP is build based on the Ohvale 160cc GP-0 but with a host of key enhancements and features.

It is the same motorcycle endorsed by DORNA and FIM for the FIM MiniGP World Series Championship.
