“I really want to thank everyone involved in this project. Most of all, thank you to our boss, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, the Crown Prince of Johor, who has trusted me for three years now. In this third year, we made several changes to myself and within the team, and everyone played their part. The race was so tough out there. Battling Keito mid-race was intense. Every time I tried to pass him in the corners, he fought back hard, and that allowed Kaito to pull a gap ahead.” “Around the middle of the race, I had to think about the championship. I knew I had the speed to catch Kaito, but I didn’t need an all-out battle with him. The real mission was to finish in front of Keito. Our approach was simple, if you can win, go win, but if not, make sure you stay ahead of Keito. We rode a smart, calculated race, and we pulled it off.” “Thank you so much to all the fans who came out, to Team Principal Steven Tan, Team Manager Razmin, and the whole crew. We had to change crew chiefs several times because of their World Championship duties, but we worked hard and made the best out of our package. A massive thank you to all the fans in Johor and throughout Malaysia. And finally, this is dedicated to my late brother, Farres. We never forget you.”

“It was quite hot out there, I have to say. My start wasn’t quite as fantastic as yesterday, but in the end, I managed to recover quickly. That allowed me to open up a slight gap, which worked really well.” “The strategy definitely helped, and from there I just managed the distance back to Hafizh. He was pushing incredibly hard to catch me, but I maintained my pace, and here we are, we took the victory.”
KAITO TOBAFORTY FORGED ASIA RACING TEAM
WAHYU’S PERFECT FINAL CORNER SNATCH
“Alhamdulillah, I am so proud of my entire team. They worked tirelessly from the moment we arrived, overcoming every challenge even when our freight containers arrived late. A huge thank you to my family and my loving wife back home. Your endless prayers and support mean everything to me. The start of the race was wild and chaotic. Into the first lap, someone made an aggressive dive-bomb move on the inside that felt reckless and nearly took us all out.” “Instead of losing my head, I stayed calm, focused on surviving the opening exchanges, and settled into the rhythm of the front group. Seeing my teammate Faerozi fighting up ahead gave me a boost of motivation. I kept my head down, matched the pace of my racing ‘brothers’ at the front, and waited for the right moments to strike. Alhamdulillah, all that patience and determination paid off, and we were able to take the victory once again.”

I also want to express my deepest gratitude to all our sponsors, my loving family, and every single Thai fan who cheered me on from home.

“Alhamdulillah for today’s race. Out there, the opening laps and the final stretch were undeniably the most intense and challenging moments, especially having to fight tooth and nail just to hold my racing line and stay within the top five.” “On that dramatic last lap, I was overtaken and thought the podium was slipping away, but I refused to give up. I dug deep, mounted another attack, and fought my way back to the front. To avoid that chaos and cross the line like that after such a fierce battle is an incredible feeling for me and the entire team.”
