ZK Racing to send four riders to Valencia for MotoMini World Final

Determined: Qasha Irfan Azlan will feature in the 190cc category at the FIM MotoMini World Final in Spain.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia have qualified four riders – Qasha Irfan Azlan and Malek Ridha Mohd Nazrun in the 190cc category; Al-Adam Mikail Mohd Hamirul Aliff and Qaish Isyraf Qayyum in the 160cc category - for the FIM MotoMini World Final in Valencia, Spain end of this month.

For Qasha and Adam, it will be their second appearance on the world stage, having both competed in the 160cc category last year.

Adam finished the 2025 competition in 11th place overall and will be looking to improve on his return visit to Valencia.

Zulfahmi explained the ultimate mission for the team is to secure a world championship title for the second time following Qabil Irfan’s victory in the 160cc category in 2023.

ZK Racing’s approach differs from that of many other nations, which do not cover travel expenses for their riders.

In other countries, riders typically manage their own travel arrangements before meeting up with their team managers at the destination.

ZK Racing though handles the entire travel and accommodation process for their riders.

From a technical standpoint, the racing machines and spare parts are provided by Dorna. 

ZK Racing produced its first world champion for motorcycle racing in Qabil, who was only 11 when he won three races en route to winning the MiniGP World Series Finals in 2023. 

Qabil has since gone on to win the overall ESBK Talent (Espana Superbike Championship) title and finished fourth overall in the Moto4 Asia Cup last week.
