2024 IDEMITSU FIM Asia Road Racing Championships
Round Three – Mobility Resort, Motegi
Asia Superbike 1000cc Race One
Yuki Kunii of SDG Team HARC-PRO Honda started the opening Superbike race at Motegi from pole position on Saturday afternoon, but the Japanese rider crashed on lap three after coming together with Nakarin Atiratphuvapat of Honda Asia-Dream Racing, which saw the race red-flagged.
The race was resumed and contested over nine-laps, at the end of which TKKR BMW’s Sho Nishimura emerged victorious by a nose at the flag over Thai rider Nakarin Atiratphuvapat.
Malaysia’s Hafizh Syahrin was a further six-tenths behind on the JDT Ducati, almost four-seconds clear of fourth-placed Soichiro Minamimoto.
Lachlan Epis rode the Evolution Sports Group BMW M 1000 RR to eighth place and eight-points.

Asia Superbike 1000cc Race Two
Yuki Kunii bounced back from Saturday’s disappointment to a dominant victory on Sunday for SDG Team HARC-PRO Honda.
The 21-year-old crossed the line five-seconds clear of JDT Ducati’s Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah at the end of the 13-lap distance.
A further five-seconds back and rounding out the podium was 28-year-old Nakarin Atiratphuvapat on the Honda Asia Dream Racing Fireblade.
24-year-old Aussie Lachlan Epis bagged eight-points from another eighth-place finish to retain his ranking of eighth in the championship.
The Asia Road Racing Championships now move to Mandalika over the last weekend in July before heading to Sepang on September 15. The series culminates where it started, with Thailand’s Chang International Circuit hosting the finale on the weekend of December 8.
