JAKARTA - Banteng Motorsport successfully achieved the target when appearing at the 1,200 cc Indonesia Touring Car Race (ITCR) National Championship. This event is part of the Mandalika Festival of Speed (MFoS) series.

Taking place at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit, on October 25-26 2025, Banteng Motorsport lowered three drivers' lines-ups including M. Ichsan, Hendra Widjanarko, and Lucky Mardiono.

Relying on the Honda Brio 1,200 cc, the three representatives of Banteng Motorsport fell in different categories. Hendra and Lucky competed in the non-seeded category, while M. Ichsan was in the seeded category A.

Ichsan said that the preparation for this race was quite helped from Honda Brio's blueprint, which had gone through long research and development.

"It was the first car we researched and developed specifically for this championship and gave the expected results in the previous series."

"So, the two new cars driven by Hendra and Lucky just need to follow the blueprint from the first Brio, which now has the number 44," said M. Ichsan in a statement quoted on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.

The results of last weekend's race were also on target for the team. Hendra grabbed the first podium in the non-seeded class in race 1 and second podium in race 2, while Lucky was also able to finish in two MFoS round 3-4 series yesterday considering this is his first series competing on the race track.

Then, M. Ichsan was quite satisfied to be in third place in the seeded A class considering that there was an adjustment to the weight excess of 64 kg in the car. Regarding the achievement of a satisfactory team, M. Ichsan added that it could not be separated from sponsorship support, namely the HL Machine.

"From a technical point of view, the Banteng team received full support from the HL engine, which provides complete equipment in the paddock, such as impact tools, jackstands, special jacks for low ground clearance cars, and various precision keys to support the smooth running of mechanical work," said M. Ichsan.

After this agenda, the touring division of Banteng Motorsport will prepare to look at the final series which will be held again at the Mandalika Circuit on December 12-14, 2025.

On the upcoming agenda, Banteng Motorsport has a chance to win the title through Hendra Widjanarko, who has a great opportunity to lock up the 1.200 cc non-seeded ITCR national champion.
