A red-flagged final race failed to dampen Azroy Hakeem Anuar’s spirits, winning the final round of the 2024 Petronas Malaysian Cub Prix championship. The tenth race of the season took place in Batu Kawan, Penang, and Selangor born Azroy fended off strong challenges from Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin and Ahmad Afif Amran.
Leading from pole position after winning the morning’s SuperPole session, Azroy, riding for Honda Estremo Yuzy Racing, faced off against Kasma of Petronas Sprinta Yamaha Maju Motor and Ahmad Afif Amran of Petronas Sprinta Yamaha CKJ Racing.
Racing was stopped on lap seven and resumed with 11 laps remaining. With that, the leading trio fought for position with Azroy reclaiming his lead and eventually leading his main contenders by 1.467 seconds to finish the race in a time of `13’44.979.
However, the championship title was taken by KL-boy Mohamad Akid Aziz of Petronas Sprinta Yamaha CKJ Racing, who topped the riders’ standings with 25 points despite crashing out on the fifth lap. Azroy consoled himself with second in the championship while Ahmad Afif of Terengganu was third.
