JAKARTA Seven Speed Motorsport, the racing team owned by Ahmad Dhani's son, Al Ghazali, set a high target this year after attracting senior driver Ricko Nugraha into their line-up.

Ricko was presented to the team to look at a series of racing events in 2025. He is expected to boost team performance and help guide the other two drivers, Al Ghazali and Davin Augusta.

"Here is our new drifter, Ricko Nugraha. He is more senior, so he can bring the Seven Speed team to get what we want," Al Ghazali said at a press conference in the Pondok Pinang area on Thursday, April 24, 2025.

Seven Speed Motorsport plans to take part in the Indonesian Drift Series and D1 of the Indonesian Grand Prix. In addition, they will also take part in motorsport events in Southeast Asia.

Ricko hopes that his presence into the Seven Speed Motorsport team can have a significant impact and meet the desired targets.

"I'm really new to the Seven Speed team. The point is I will give a new color to the team. Save Speed will be my new family. Thank you very much for your trust," said Ricko.

In addition to attracting Ricko, Seven Speed Motorsport has also made a number of changes to the engine and car set-up to be used by Al Ghazali in the 2025 competition season.

Then, they also equipped the meeting with a new drift car that Davin Augusta will use. The three of them also have their own cars so they don't need to share like in 2024.

With this series of changes, the target of Seven Speed Motorsport in 2025, of course, still wants to be the best team and always get a podium in every event that is followed.

"I am optimistic that in the 2025 racing season. There is still a lot of homework to do. Hopefully we can excel more and be able to climb the podium often," said Al Ghazali.

Seven Speed Motorsport is actually only two years old. However, they are so ready to give color to the world of Indonesian drift and at the same time want to answer bigger challenges.

Al Ghazali will move to class this year. He will enter Pro 2 after previously appearing as New Gen. However, he is willing to do extra work and is ready for more fierce competition.

"The previous challenge was New Gen, now it's Pro 2 Class. So, I am now more competitive and have to focus on the opponent. In the past, the race alone became tandem," said Al Ghazali.

Davin is also so confident in the strength of their current team. He is optimistic that Seven Speed Motorsport will be able to show good results in various important events later.

"I am very happy to be a part of Seven Speed. I am sure this team can give something different in Indonesia's drifting world. In 2025 we will give the best all-out," said Davin.
