PETALING JAYA: Wira champion Mohd Hafiz Nor Azman is looking forward to making his CP115 debut in the season-opener Petronas AAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championships at Stadium Batu Kawan in Penang this weekend.
While most riders his age would tremble at the prospect of having to go up against a grid comprising highly-experienced and seasoned riders, the 17-year-old actually relishes the challenge. He believes that only by racing against the big boys “can I make tremendous progress” like his idol Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah, who blazed through the Open-make classes while still in his teens.
