Winning Race 1 ARRC 2022 Thailand SS600 Class, Andi Gilang: All Riders Are At The Top Level

JAKARTA - Astra Honda Racing Team (AHRT) racer, Andi Farid Idhizar or familiarly called Andi Gilang, won the first race of the Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) 2022 Supersport (SS) 600 class at Chang Circuit, Buriram, Thailand.

This victory did not come easily. Andi Gilang has to compete with Thailand's Nakarin Atiraphuvapat. At the end of the race, Nakarin actually fell and made it easier for Andi Gilang to win.

"Today's race was very hot, I had a little difficulty maintaining the performance of the tires. Normally, we have speed with these conditions, but during the race, it was a little difficult to maintain speed," said Andi Gilang in an interview after the race.

"Everyone tried to be in front, but I managed to get back to first position. It was a difficult race, all the riders were at the top level," he continued.

Andi Gilang didn't want to get involved in the celebration of victory in this race. The racer from Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, wanted to stay focused in order to win in the second race.

"Tomorrow we can not relax, we will try to do the same in the second race later," he said.

The second race of the ARRC 2022 Thailand in the SS600 class will be held at the Chang Circuit on Sunday, March 27.
