Starting from 28th position on the grid at the Grand Prix of the Czech Republic at the Automotodrom Brno, Khairul Idham Pawi, better known to his fans as Super KIP, stormed up to to third place with some very aggressive riding in the wet.

While in second place on lap 15, Super KIP highsided his Honda Team Asia Moto 3 race bike. Khairul – who is rapidly gaining a reputation as a wet weather specialist – was at the time running a steady pace, and high-sided heading for the exit of the 12th corner.

Super KIP expressed disappointment, and apologised to his team. “I had hopes to win, and aimed to keep a steady pace. I’m sorry for the team. I will continue the challenge in the next race,” said Khairul.

Khairul stands at 11th place in the Moto 3 championship with 54 points. The next round of the Motorcycle Grand Prix will be in Britain at the Silverstone circuit on 2 to 4 September, 2016.

    While KIP is ridicilously very fast and in winning form during wet race, to move to the next level he also needs to improve his pace during dry race, which is 90% of what racing condition is all about.
