Astra Honda Racing Team (AHRT) is ready to continue its brilliant journey in the fourth round of the 2025 Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) which will take place at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, this weekend.

With the return of Andi Farid Izdihar #23 in the Asia Superbike (ASB) 1000 class and the reliable performance of the CBR Series, the rider squad managed by PT Astra Honda Motor (AHM) will appear at full strength and is ready to maintain the dominance of the CBR series in front of the Indonesian public.

Up to the third series in Motegi, Japan, M Adenanta Putra #21 managed to lead the provisional standings of the SS600 class with a score of 108 points. Adenanta showed impressive performance after successfully taking the third podium in the first race and a dominant victory in the second race in Motegi.

Relying on racing experience in Mandalika, Adenanta is optimistic about performing confidently to secure full points at home. «The Mandalika series has significant meaning for me. The tight competition in the 2025 ARRC standings is an additional motivation to perform at my best in front of the Indonesian public,» said Adenanta.

In the SS600 class, Astra Honda also fields Herjun Atna Firdaus #46 and Rheza Danica Ahrens #123. Both are determined to achieve better results than the previous series. Herjun currently has 40 points in 10th position in the provisional standings, while Rheza is in 16th position with 13 points.

Meanwhile, in the AP250 class, talented young rider Fadillah Arbi Aditama #93 strives to maintain his performance. After a competitive performance in Motegi with a fifth-place finish in the first race and sixth in the second race, Arbi still leads the standings with a total of 104 points. The Mandalika race is an important momentum for Arbi to secure a points gap from other riders.

«The Mandalika series is a very special moment for me. The experience of competing in the Moto3 class is certainly valuable preparation, and I am determined to perform at my best to secure important points to maintain the chance of winning the Asian title this year,» said Arbi.

Arbi’s teammate, Davino Britani, who is currently in ninth position in the provisional standings with 35 points, is optimistic about showing progress in the Mandalika series. For him, racing at this proud Indonesian circuit will be an additional motivation.

Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit

The Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit is a motorsport racing track located on the island of Lombok, Indonesia. It was built to host international events like MotoGP and the World Superbike Championship, with its construction completed and the circuit officially opening in 2021. The project is a central part of the Mandalika Special Economic Zone, developed to boost tourism and economic growth in the region.

Lombok

Lombok is an Indonesian island east of Bali, known for its pristine beaches, the majestic Mount Rinjani volcano, and the distinct Sasak culture. Historically, it was part of a series of Hindu and Muslim kingdoms before coming under Balinese and later Dutch colonial rule in the 19th century. Today, it is a popular tourist destination that offers a more relaxed alternative to its bustling neighbor.

West Nusa Tenggara

West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) is an Indonesian province comprising the islands of Lombok and Sumbawa, known for their stunning beaches and the majestic Mount Rinjani. Historically, the region was influenced by a blend of indigenous Sasak and Balinese Hindu cultures, along with later Islamic and Dutch colonial influences.

Asia Road Racing Championship

The Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) is a premier continental motorcycle racing series established in 1996 to develop regional talent. It features multiple production-based classes and has a rich history of serving as a crucial feeder series, with many of its successful riders progressing to compete in the World Superbike and MotoGP championships.

Asia Superbike

«Asia Superbike» does not refer to a specific cultural site or place, but rather to a popular genre of high-performance motorcycles and the associated enthusiast culture prevalent across Asia. This culture has a modern history, emerging prominently in the late 20th and early 21st centuries alongside economic growth and the rise of motorsports in countries like Japan, Thailand, and Malaysia. It encompasses a community focused on bike modifications, racing events, and group touring, reflecting a blend of engineering passion and social camaraderie.

CBR Series

I am unable to provide a summary for «CBR Series» as it does not appear to refer to a recognized place or cultural site. It is likely a reference to a specific product line, such as Honda’s CBR series of sport motorcycles, rather than a geographical or historical location.

Moto3

Moto3 is a class of Grand Prix motorcycle racing that debuted in 2012, replacing the former 125cc category. It is the entry-level tier in the MotoGP World Championship, featuring single-cylinder 250cc four-stroke engines. The class was established to provide a more affordable and competitive platform for developing young rider talent.

ARRC

The ARRC (Allied Rapid Reaction Corps) is not a cultural site but a multinational NATO military headquarters. It was established in 1992 in Bielefeld, Germany, following the end of the Cold War to provide a rapidly deployable command structure for allied operations. Its history includes leading missions in the Balkans, Afghanistan, and Africa.
