JAKARTA - Moto3 racer from Indonesia, Mario Suryo Aji, can't wait to continue the struggle after appearing in Moto3 Indonesia at the Mandalika Circuit, last weekend. The Honda Team Asia racer is enthusiastic about welcoming Moto3 Australia which will take place at the Philip Island Circuit, October 20-22.

"Phillip Island is a circuit I really like, maybe one of my favorites. I want to get good results here," Mario Aji said in an official statement quoted Thursday, October 19.

Previously in a race at the Mandalika Circuit on October 15, Mario Aji passed a tough weekend. Appearing as the host, Mario, who started the race from P21, could not develop his acceleration further, so he had to settle for finishing in P25.

From the unsatisfactory results at the Mandalika Circuit, Mario Aji is determined to appear more impressive and improve his record when paving at the Philip Island Circuit on October 20-22.

Mario Aji's great desire also appeared because he reflected on the unsatisfactory results when he played Australia's Moto3 last year edition. At that time Mario admitted that he had difficulty from the start of the race.

Mario Aji started the race in a fairly good position. He even had time to absorb several other riders before finally making a mistake at the corner of 10 and finally fell.

Last year, I struggled from the start of the race. The position of the grid really affected me. I started well and overtook many racers, but I made mistakes and fell," he said.

"I hope things will change this year because my feelings about driving have increased in the last race," hoped the rider.
