The IDEMITSU Honda Racing India team prepares for Round 5 of the 2024 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship at Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit. With the team lingering at 12 cumulative points, riders Kavin Quintal and Mohsin Paramban aim to improve their standings following a challenging Round 4 in Indonesia.

As the 2024 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) approaches its final stages, the IDEMITSU Honda Racing India team is gearing up for the penultimate round this weekend at Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit. With only two rounds remaining, this race offers a crucial opportunity for Honda riders to demonstrate their skills at one of the most demanding circuits on the ARRC calendar.

After completing Round 4 in Indonesia, young riders Kavin Quintal and Mohsin Paramban finished in 18th and 23rd positions, respectively. The team has been fine-tuning their strategies to push the limits and accumulate more points in this crucial round. Currently holding a total of 12 points for the season, the team is focused on maximizing their performance in the Asia Production 250cc (AP250cc) class.

Kavin Quintal expressed, "Sepang is a circuit that challenges every rider's ability and expertise. It's fast, technical, and demands perfect harmony between the rider and the machine. While Round 4 didn't go as planned, it has only fueled my motivation for Round 5. I've been working hard on improving every aspect of our performance to ensure we come back stronger. The support from the Honda team is a significant driver for me."

Looking ahead to Round 5, Mohsin Paramban stated, "Round 4 was quite challenging, and finishing in 23rd place wasn't where I wanted to be. However, setbacks are part of racing and they teach valuable lessons. Sepang International Circuit is known for its long straights and tight corners. I've been focusing on refining my techniques for the upcoming challenge. I'm more prepared, both mentally and physically, for what's ahead, thanks to the incredible support from the team. I'm determined to maximize our performance in the final rounds."
