Petronas Malaysian Cub Prix

The Petronas Malaysian Cub Prix is set to return this weekend, with the first round to take place at the Sepang Circuit (North) on 12-13 March.

The 2022 edition is set to kick off with a bang after two previous seasons was hampered with the ongoing pandemic and Movement Control Order (MCO).

Nevertheless, the 29 edition Cub Prix will return in full blast as the team and riders prepare to hunt the 2022 championship.

CP150 defending champion Azroy Hakeem Anuar will return to the grid feeling refreshed after taking the 2021 crown with Honda Yuzy Idemitsu.

However, this time around, the 24-year-old will pilot the all-new Honda RSX 150, replacing the RS150R.

Meanwhile, the 2022 season also witnessed the return of former two-time Moto3 stage winner Khairul Idham Pawi.

The ex-Petronas Sprinta Racing rider made a u-turn to two-wheel racing after announcing his retirement in December 2020 after his contract with the Malaysian outfit ended.

SuperKIP will feature alongside former CP150 champion Helmi Azman at SCK Honda Racing Team.

The Petronas Malaysian Cub Prix will continue to pursue its primary objective as a significant platform to raise future world championship racing riders.

The first round of the 2022 Petronas Malaysian Cub Prix will be at the Sepang Circuit (North) from 12 to 13 March.

Petronas Malaysian Cub Prix kembali menghangatkan sukan permotoran tempatan bagi tahun 2022 bermual dengan pusingan pertama di Litar Sepang (Utara), hujung minggu ini.

Saingan kali ini dijangka kembali lebih sengit apatah lagi ketidaktentuan musim lalu sedikit memberi kesan kepada persiapan pelumba dan pasukan susulan pelaksanaan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP).

Seperti kebiasaan, kategori CP150 akan kembali menjadi rebutan pelumba selepas edisi terdahulu menyaksikan Azroy Hakeem Anuar muncul juara.

Pelumba pasukan Honda Yuzy Idemitsu itu bagaimanapun akan turun mempertahankan kejuaraan menggunakan jentera Honda RSX 150 baharu. Ini merupakan kali pertama model itu akan beraksi di litar perlumbaan.

Turut mencuri tumpuan adalah kembalinya bekas pelumba Moto3, Khairul Idham Pawi ke saingan Cub Prix musim ini.

Bekas juara kategori Wira 2014 itu akan bersaing di bawah payung SCK Honda Racing Team dan bergandingan dengan bekas juara CP150 2020, Helmi Azman.

Kejuaraan Petronas Malaysian Cub Prix 2022 akan membuka tirai pada 12 hingga 13 Mac ini di Litar Sepang (Utara). Bagi menyemarakkan lagi saingan kali ini, musim 2022 juga telah kembali membenarkan kehadiran penonton bagi menyaksikan perlumbaan secara langsung.

CP150 defending champion Azroy Hakeem Anuar is set to return to the Petronas Malaysian Cub Prix with a new machine.

The Honda Yuzy Idemitsu rider will ride onboard the all-new Honda RSX 150 that was recently launched in Malaysia at the end of 2021.

This will be the first time that the RSX will make its bow at the championship.

Meanwhile, Azroy is looking forward to defending his championship with the new motorcycle.

“My goal for this year is to maintain the champion title.

“The Honda RSX-150 will replace the Honda RS150 motorcycle which was used previously in the championship.

“We are confident with the abilities of the motorcycle and this season, we hope to not just maintain the title of champion for CP150 but also hail as team champion for the CP150 category,”  he said.

As a defending champion, the new Honda RSX 150 will also feature the #1, which was last used in 2014 by Zaqhwan Zaidi.

The 2022 Petronas Malaysian Cub Prix will kickstart at Sepang International Circuit from 12-13 March.
