JAKARTA - The 2022 Asian Road Racing Championship is in sight. The inaugural ARRC 2022 series will be held at the Chang Circuit, Buriram, Thailand, March 25-27.

The Asia Production (AP) 250 class ARRC 2022 is believed to be attracting the attention of motorcycle racing lovers in Indonesia. The reason is, there are nine Indonesian racers competing in this prestigious class.

This number exceeds 50 percent of the number of participants in the AP250 which was followed by the 17 racers. You could say, this will be a battle arena for Indonesian racers.

In this class, the manufacturer from Indonesia, Astra Honda Racing Team fielded three riders. They are Adenanta Putra, Herjun Atna Firdaus and Rheza Danica Ahrens. The last name is the 2018 ARRC AP250 title holder.

Meanwhile, another Indonesian manufacturer, Yamaha Racing Indonesia, fielded two riders, namely Aldi Satya Mahendra and Anggi Setiawan.

Other Indonesian racers who took part were Andy Muhammad Fadly (Manual Tech Racing Team) Rafid Topan Sucipto, Fitriansyah Kete (LFN HP969 Indonesia Racing Team), and Reynaldo C. Ratukore (ONEXOX TKKR Racing Team).

Indonesian riders have a good track record in the ARRC AP250 class in the previous three events. The champion trophy is always won by the Red and White riders.

In 2017, Gerry Salim came out as the winner with Astra Honda Racing Team. The following year, Astra Honda Racing Team brought Rheza Danica Ahres out as champion.

Meanwhile in 2019, it was AM Fadly's turn to win the championship trophy with the Manual Tech Racing Team. This season, he wants to defend his title.

"I can't wait to come back. The competition looks impressive," said AM Fadly, on the ARRC's official website.
