Round 2 of the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship came to a close at Sepang International Circuit on May 14, 2023. The weekend saw the Motul-Supported Manual Tech Racing team take a solid points haul. The team now managed to solidify its P3 positioning in the Team Championship Standings.

Despite the challenging race, the team managed to pull through and score a strong result. However, Motul lubricants ensured that the riders extract maximum performance from the bike to increase their chances of scoring points. Motul has been a valuable partner for the team for several years, which has allowed it to understand the products better and improve formulations for future lubricants.

The Motul Sniper Manual Tech Racing team ran a 4-bike line-up for this round. The line-up consists of Irfan Ardiansyah (IDN), Aiki Iyoshi (JPN), Liu Chun-Mei (TPE) and a wildcard M. Alif Adamsyah (IDN).

After a challenging practice and qualifying session, the team managed to show some great race pace. All 4 riders showed great improvement as the weekend progressed. Each rider improved with increasing confidence in the bike and pushing to the limits. At the end of the final race, the team managed to finish P4 and P5, right outside the podium positions.

This Asia Road Racing Championship is unique as it deals with some of the harshest conditions and challenging track layouts. Motul’s support for the team in the championship and the trust of several manufacturers in Motul’s product. The series travels to Japan next for a stunning display of bike racing in Sportsland Sugo at the end of June.

“My team has been using Motul 300V since 2007 for our racing bike. We’ve compared several top oil brands on dyno test and in the circuit for several years. I can conclude that Motul 300V is the best oil for engine performance and durability. This is especially for the gearbox and clutch. In the Asia Road Racing Championship Asia Production 250cc class, we have used Motul 300V on the Kawasaki Ninja250 since 2019 and won 2 consecutive titles.”

“Motul lubricants maintain the durability of many engine parts such as pistons and cylinders, bearings, transmission gear, clutch and other moving parts. It also significantly reduces damage to these parts even though the engine works in extreme conditions. Based on our team’s experience and testing for years, I firmly say that Motul 300V is the best oil for engine performance and endurance.”
