Harith Farhan Baharin was confirmed as the WIRA category overall champion after his sixth straight win in the seventh round of Petronas AAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship which went on at Teluk Intan, Perak, yesterday.
The Kozi Yam Honda racer recorded a time of 11 minutes and 48.241 seconds in 12 rounds, collecting 25 points adding to the total of 170 points in the overall standings.
“Hard to express my excitement of being crowned champion. I dedicate this win to the team, and also my family and fans. We had the confidence to win the round yesterday, but did not expect to claim the overall title,” Harith told Berita Harian.
“It is still early to consider moving to CP115 category, but if I do, I’m sure the team will have an initial plan for me to gain more exposure in the current category.”
Despite having three rounds remaining in the championship, closest rival Saiful Izman Ahmad Zamani failed to collect any points, leaving Harith far ahead with a difference of 77 points.
Amirul Hakim Mohd Rizal of Espada Willaim Racing claimed the runner up spot, with Weststar Motorsport’s Qhuwarismi Mohd Nasir coming in third.
