Round 2 of the PETRONAS Malaysian Cub Prix Championship, scheduled for the Sepang North track this weekend, will proceed without spectators for the upcoming round.
βOf course we miss the presence of race fans at Cub Prix races. But with only one more round to go before the 2021 series heads into the Ramadhan and Syawal break, we felt that it would be better to stick to the status quo for the moment. With more time to prepare for the return of spectators, we will be better able to create a safe environment for everyone to enjoy the races,β said Ron Hogg, Director of Safe Aim Mutual Sdn Bhd, the race promoters of the Malaysian Cub Prix.
The second leg of the 2021 season will rev off with the ONEXOX TKKR Racing Teamβs Mohd Muzakkir Mohamed in the lead for the premiere class title chase. The season opener at Sepang South two weekends ago turned out to be a challenging start for the usual race leaders with top names like defending champion Helmi Azman, Azroy Hakeem Anuar and comeback kid Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin finishing off the podium.
As in the 2020 season, team PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha Maju Motorβs Mohd Syafiq Rosli is still the man to beat in the CP125 class. After a decisive victory in Round 1, Syafiq has given his title defense campaign with the best possible start.
Finally, team PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha 31 Racing will be looking to extend the teamβs domination in the age-capped Wira KBS class. The team led by former Cub Prix Champion K. Sivanesan, locked out the top three steps of the Wira KBS podium in Round 1 with Mohd Syamil Amsyar Iffende, Danial Johan and Mohd Aqil Danial Nasrul.
