Honda to Build New Motorcycle Production

Asia Road Racing Championship
ADC CHAMP KHAIRUL TO COMPETE IN SPANISH CHAMPIONSHIP
AND CUB PRIX IN 2015
Reigning Asia Dream Cup Champion, Khairul Idham Pawi takes his racing career a step
further as the young Malaysian confirmed he will compete in the FIM CEV Repsol Moto3
Junior World Championship and the PETRONAS AAM Malaysian Cub Prix
Championship simultaneously for the 2015 season.
The 17-year old will race for Honda Team Asia in the Spanish Championship, following in
the footsteps of Hiroki Ono, who also came through the developmental series.
The CEV Moto3 championship runs eight rounds, six of which will take place in Spain,
with the championship kicking off in Portugal at Portimao, and the CEV Moto3 class
appearing as a support class at the French Grand Prix round at Le Mans.
Meanwhile in the national championship, Khairul is set to move up to the intermediate
CP115 and battle it out with his seniors having clinched the age-capped WIRA title with
eight straight victories last year.
“When you think about the number of world champions Spain has produced, this move to
the Moto3 Junior World Championship is a huge opportunity for my career. No doubt, I
am really excited and looking forward to this new challenge,” said Khairul during the Asia
Dream Cup Moto3 test at the Pasir Gudang Circuit in Johor.
When asked about his thoughts about competing in two different championships at the
same time, Khairul added, “For sure flying in and out of the country is going to be tough
and tiring. In fact, it would be easier to just focus on one championship. However, the
management believes Cub Prix is necessary because it helps keep my competitive edge.
After all, the Moto3 championship has only eight rounds with a lot of spare time in
between.”
Khairul will make his debut in the FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 Junior World Championship
when he attends the pre-season test at the Jerez Circuit in Spain on the 27th and
28th February.
