ADYTYA EYES MOTEGI BREAKTHROUGH

As the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2026 heads to Japan for Round 3 at Mobility Resort Motegi, AdytyaFauzi of JPNW SND FACTORY RACING arrives with quiet confidence and the objective to challenge at the front and mount a serious charge against the championship’s strongest contenders.

Now in his second season aboard the Honda machinery, Adytya believes familiarity with the bike has provided the team with a solid foundation heading into one of the most technically demanding circuits on the calendar. Unlike previous years where adaptation played a bigger role, preparation this time centres heavily on race execution and strategy.

“For Mobility Resort Motegi, we already have a lot of useful data from previous races, and we are using the same bike package this season. That gives us more confidence because we understand the machine much better now,” explained Adytya. “At this stage, I believe strategy will play the biggest role in determining the result.”

Having previously stood on the podium at Mobility Resort Motegi, Adytya enters the weekend carrying encouraging momentum from past campaigns at the Japan circuit. During Round 3 of the 2024 season, the Indonesian rider delivered a strong performance to finish second in Race 2, demonstrating his ability to challenge among the frontrunners at one of the championship’s most technically demanding venues. He followed that result with another podium finish in Round 3 of the 2025 season, claiming third place in Race 1 and further strengthening his confidence at the circuit. 

Those podium finishes have provided Adytya with valuable experience and a deeper understanding of what it takes to stay competitive at Mobility Resort Motegi. With improved familiarity aboard the Honda machinery in his second season, the Indonesian rider believes consistency, race management and strategy will be key to turning past podium success into an even stronger result this weekend.

Still, the challenge ahead remains formidable, particularly against current championship leader Husni Zainul Fuadzy of ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34, a rider Adytya believes excels in the closing moments of races.

“Husni is always very strong, especially on the final lap where he often finds a way to come through at exactly the right moment,” Adytya shared. “To finish strongly in Motegi, we need to carefully understand his racing pattern and prepare the best possible strategy. Racing against a rider like him means every move matters, especially when the fight goes down to the final lap.”

Describing Mobility Resort Motegi as a circuit with similarities to several tracks in Indonesia, Adytyaexplained that major setup changes may not be necessary. Instead, the focus will be on perfecting race details, particularly the final corner, which he believes could decide the outcome. 

“The track is more or less similar to circuits in Indonesia, so we do not expect major setup changes,” he said. “The last corner is the most critical part. If you can exit well, get a strong slipstream and position yourself perfectly, it can make all the difference in being the first rider across the finish line.”
