Astra Honda Racing Team rider Mohammad Adenanta Putra leads the Supersport 600 class standings at the 2025 Asia Road Racing Championship final in Buriram, Thailand. He holds a slim eight-point advantage over his rival, while teammate Fadillah Arbi Aditama dominates the Asia Production 250 class with a 36-point lead. Both riders are emphasizing consistency ahead of this weekend's races.
The final round of the 2025 Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) is taking place at Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand, from December 5-7, 2025. Mohammad Adenanta Putra of the Astra Honda Racing Team (AHRT) leads the Supersport 600 (SS600) class with 152 points, eight points ahead of Malaysia's Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin in second place. Meanwhile, Fadillah Arbi Aditama tops the Asia Production (AP) 250 class with 171 points, leading Malaysia's Izam Ikal by 36 points.
These two riders give AHRT a chance to secure titles in both classes at ARRC 2025, marking the first time for the team. During Friday's free practice sessions on December 5, 2025, Adenanta admitted facing difficulties in optimizing the bike's setup. "In FP1-2 earlier, it was quite difficult because there were still many points where the bike's setup feeling wasn't quite right. Alhamdulillah, from FP1-3 there was always improvement, though not significant," Adenanta said at the circuit.
He stressed the importance of lap-by-lap consistency over just the best lap time. "What I want to find is consistency lap by lap, not just the best lap. With a good enough time. Tomorrow's race is very important, right, 12 laps, the important thing is the laps," he added. Adenanta also predicted tight racing in Race 1 and 2 on Saturday, December 6, with very narrow time gaps.
On the other hand, Arbi feels his preparation is 95 percent optimal and is focused on race execution. He aims to start from the front row in qualifying. "Qualifying will be the decider. Position in qualifying is very important. Main target (for qualifying) is the front row, if not 1 then 2 or 3," Arbi stated. The rider from Purworejo prefers long runs for consistency rather than chasing the fastest time, and he feels unburdened by rivals. "Arbi often does long runs and focuses on himself... So he can be more patient, not rushed," he said. With a solid points lead, Arbi is determined to maximize points without emotional pressure.
