Overall Champion CP115 AAM Malaysian Cub Prix Petronas, Ahmad Afif Amran led the contingent of Hong Leong Yamaha Malaysia at the 10th edition of the rival Yamaha Asean Cup Championship (YACR) in Manado, Indonesia, from today until December 1.
Afif plays in Jupiter 115cc category with four riders of Abdul Muhaimin Roslan, Tengku Amirul Haffiruddin, Mohd Adib Rosley and champion of the Super Cup Series manufacturer Yamaha 135 Petronas, Mohd Azam Omar.
For Afif, he did not have high expectations even though the category in which it participates equal to CP115 Championship and ARRC Underbone 115cc category, but this time the machinery used is different and quite alien in Malaysia.
JUPITER MACHINERY
“Jupiter Machinery is actually different with Yamaha legends used in the Cub Prix races because Jupiter machinery uses fuel injection system completely, type of machine is still new in Malaysia, and is said to be faster. Without any experience using this machine, as well as the crew, I can only expect to be able to achieve the best results and a bonus if it can be on the podium,” said Afif.
Meanwhile, team manager, Melvin Tan said: “The whole crew and riders have to quickly adapt to the machine. They should use the first day of free practice session to understand and get the best adjustment. ”
Apart from Malaysia, also joined the championship YACR is the team from Thailand, Philippines, India, Japan and the host, Indonesia.
