🇬🇧 Sungai Long, Selangor | 17 May 2026 – Three young Malaysian riders, Qasha Irfan Azlan, Al-Adam Mikail and Haqim Al Mahdi, stole the spotlight in the opening round of MotoMini Malaysia 2026 after each secured back-to-back victories in their respective categories, strengthening their status as early title contenders this season.
The main focus was undoubtedly on the MotoMini Malaysia 190cc category as Qasha Irfan delivered an impressive performance by dominating both races to collect the maximum 50 points. Even more remarkable, the 12-year-old rider from Team 4 Racing achieved the feat despite making his debut in the 190cc category.

Race 2 then became a comeback platform for M8 Racing Team as siblings Faith Mikael and Ayden Maleeq secured a one-two finish for the team. Team-mate Emyr Asyhman completed the podium to seal a dominant result for M8 Racing Team. The result allowed Ayden Maleeq to take the lead in the overall standings with 40 points.

Although several categories witnessed clear domination from certain riders, the opening round still delivered competitive racing, particularly in the battle for podium positions and the overall championship standings.
The second round, scheduled to take place at Horizon Beranang Circuit on 20 and 21 June, is expected to provide an important opportunity for the challengers to close the gap in the standings and challenge the riders currently leading their respective categories.
🇲🇾”Perlumbaan Pusingan 1 MotoMini Malaysia 2026 di LYL International Karting Circuit berlangsung dengan lancar. Dengan penggunaan konsep baharu, saya melihat ia membawa satu semangat dan kelainan yang sangat positif kepada kejohanan ini. Lebih ramai pengunjung hadir, lebih banyak ahli keluarga turut datang memberikan sokongan dan saya percaya langkah yang diperkenalkan ini adalah satu perkembangan yang baik untuk kejohanan MotoMini Malaysia. Saya yakin ramai ibu bapa gembira dengan konsep yang diketengahkan kali ini.
Bagi kategori RCB MotoKidz, saya amat bangga dengan prestasi semua pelumba apabila catatan masa sepusingan berjaya diperbaiki hampir 2.3 saat lebih pantas berbanding tahun lalu. Peningkatan ini jelas membuktikan tahap latihan, disiplin dan perkembangan mereka semakin baik walaupun menggunakan motosikal serta susun atur litar yang sama.
Begitu juga dalam kategori SIC Ohvale Junior Championship. Kemenangan Haqim Al Mahdi serta Wan Adra Mikayla yang menamatkan kedua-dua perlumbaan di tempat kedua menunjukkan program RCB MotoKidz adalah satu program pembangunan yang berjaya. Perkembangan pelumba daripada RCB MotoKidz ke SIC Ohvale Junior Championship amat positif dan saya sangat gembira melihat prestasi semua pelumba dalam kategori tersebut.
Bagi kategori MotoMini 160, Al-Adam Mikail masih lagi menjadi pelumba yang sukar dicabar oleh pelumba lain. Saya percaya dengan pengalaman serta kelajuan yang dimilikinya, bukan mudah untuk pelumba lain mengejarnya. Saya yakin Al-Adam akan terus menjadi antara calon utama kejuaraan musim ini.
Untuk kategori MotoMini 190 pula, saya berharap lebih ramai pelumba antarabangsa dapat dijemput bagi memeriahkan lagi perlumbaan di Malaysia. Bagi pelumba tempatan seperti Qasha Irfan, saya sangat bangga dengan cara tunggangannya kerana dia semakin menghampiri catatan masa Qabil Irfan. Ini menunjukkan dia semakin selesa mengendalikan jentera Ohvale GP2 selepas naik daripada kategori 160cc sebelum ini.
Secara keseluruhannya, saya amat gembira dengan permulaan FIM MotoMini Malaysia musim ini. Terima kasih kepada KBS, MAM, SIC serta semua rakan kerjasama yang membantu menjayakan program MotoMini tahun ini.”
🇬🇧 “Round 1 of the MotoMini Malaysia 2026 at the LYL International Karting Circuit ran smoothly. With the introduction of a new concept, I see it bringing a very positive sense of energy and variation to the championship. More spectators attended, more families came to show their support, and I believe this initiative is a positive development for the MotoMini Malaysia championship. I am confident that many parents are pleased with the concept introduced this time.
In the RCB MotoKidz category, I am very proud of all the riders’ performances as lap times have improved by almost 2.3 seconds compared to last year. This clearly demonstrates that, despite using the same motorcycles and circuit layout, their training, discipline, and development have improved significantly.
Similarly, in the SIC Ohvale Junior Championship, Haqim Al Mahdi’s victory, along with Wan Adra Mikayla finishing second in both races, shows that the RCB MotoKidz programme is a successful development pathway. The progression of riders from RCB MotoKidz to the SIC Ohvale Junior Championship is very positive, and I am delighted with the performances of all riders in this category.
In the MotoMini 160 category, Al-Adam Mikail remains a rider who is very difficult for others to challenge. I believe that with his experience and speed, it will not be easy for other riders to catch him. I am confident that Al-Adam will continue to be one of the main title contenders this season.
For the MotoMini 190 category, I hope more international riders can be invited to further enhance the competitiveness of the championship in Malaysia. As for local rider Qasha Irfan, I am very proud of his riding as he is getting closer to Qabil Irfan’s lap times. This shows that he is becoming more comfortable on the Ohvale GP2 machine after moving up from the 160cc category.
Overall, I am very pleased with the opening of the FIM MotoMini Malaysia season. Thank you to the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS), MAM, SIC, and all partners who have contributed to making this year’s MotoMini programme a success.”
