JAKARTA - The 2022 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship is back this weekend. In this third series, the racers will compete at the Sportsland Sugo International, Japan.

Indonesian racer Andi Farid Idhizar is ready to fight in the 600cc Supersports class. This Astra Honda Racing Team champion wants to continue his mission to be the best in the SS600 ARRC 2022 class.

Facing the third round at Sugo, Andi Gilang made preparations as usual. The routine is related to fitness and training with the team.

In addition, this racer from Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, must also study the layout of the circuit. The goal is to identify the right strategy for the race. Understandably, this is a new track for most riders.

"Like most riders, I also have never raced on a circuit before. Adapting quickly is very important so that I can race competitively," said Andi Gilang, in the official Asia Road Racing.

"I definitely want to win at Sugo for my team, also for the 77th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia," he continued.

This season, the performance of the racer who is familiarly called Andi Gilang was like a rollercoaster. Being the fastest in the first race in the inaugural series this season, he actually failed in the second race due to an incident.

However, he bounced back in the second series. He managed to win again in the second race.

"I always want to win in every race. However, we are sometimes defeated due to unforeseen circumstances," said Andi Gilang.

"The most important thing is not to be disappointed, but to use it as motivation to keep learning and doing better," he continued.

He admits, the SS600 class this season is very competitive. In this class, there are top Asian racers who provide an extraordinary challenge for Andi Gilang.

"For me, all the riders are an inspiration for me to continue to look at my riding technique and make the necessary changes to stay on par or be one step ahead," he said.
