Honda Malaysia, Khoo, and Lawrence Headline Winners as MTCC Delivers Split-Class Battles at Sepang

In MT1600, the Honda Malaysia Racing Team pairing of Aaron Lim and Avila Bahar established themselves as the benchmark from the outset. After leading practice and qualifying in the #27 Honda, they converted that pace into victories in both races. Behind them, the battle for the remaining podium positions shifted across the weekend. Papaya Pay Racing's #8 crew of Faidzil Alang and Hendra Ade Putra finished second in Race 2 after teammates Lai Wee Seng and Mohamed Farriz secured the runner-up spot in Race 1, while Ken Wu and Russell Tan maintained consistency with podium finishes in both races.

The supporting MT1600 classes delivered different winners across the weekend. In MT2G, Mark Darwin and Luke Anton Netto claimed Race 1 before Ady Rahimy Rashid and James Russell responded with victory in Race 2. Ling Guang You and Lew Karwai, alongside Ng Chong Chin and Freddie Ang, featured on the podium in both outings. MT2V followed a similar pattern, with Daniel Rein Oil and Justin Toh taking Race 1 before Divvyesh Perajun and Harkiesh Geeva won Race 2. Genevieve Henrietta Ooi and Raja Amirul were the class's most consistent pairing, finishing on the podium in both races.

The TP2000 category belonged to Leon Khoo Beng Koon. Driving the R-Engineering #39, Khoo topped practice, qualifying, and both races to complete a perfect weekend. Arif Hanafiah and Jonathan Xie shared the remaining overall podium positions across the two races, while Ken Urata completed a double victory in the TP2 class with Chiow Teck Song finishing second in both encounters.

The Asia Classic Car Challenge produced another commanding display. Yannick Lawrence set the pace from the opening practice session, topped qualifying, and claimed the Category SL victory in Race 1 while Kareen Kaur secured Category A honours. Lawrence went one step further in Race 2, taking the overall race victory to complete a dominant weekend. Kaur, however, retired in the second race due to a mechanical issue after opening the weekend with her class win.

Across three championships and multiple classes, the weekend belonged to those who converted early pace into race results. Honda Malaysia Racing Team maintained control in MT1600, Khoo completed one of the cleanest weekends of the season in TP2000, and Lawrence left Sepang as the standout performer of the Asia Classic Car Challenge.
