In the junior category, another young Malaysian racer, Nik Zamir Zakwan from IS racing finished on top after an intense battle with Bianca Bustamante (from Auto Inc Racing) and Amer Haris Jefry (also from IS Racing) who came in second and third consecutively.
“This success is an important motivation for me to keep trying and win other races. I have another race in Indonesia this week, and another WSK Super Master Series next month.” he told Berita Harian. He also thanked his sponsors and fans for their unwavering support.
Prior to this, Putra Adam Halim had just made record as the first Malaysian go-kart racer to get on the podium at the WSK Super Master Series, a feat he achieved two years in a row.
