Malaysian Moto3 rider, Muhammad Zulfahmi Khairuddin, heads to Indianapolis this weekend to continue his battle in the 11th round of the Moto3 World Championship on Sunday, 19th August.
The 20 year-old Banting boy is currently 6th in the World Championship standings and Zulfahmi aims to do well to collect more points in the 2nd half of the season, having just departed for The States for this weekend’s race at the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix.
Unfortunately, come race day, he won’t be enjoying ketupats and rendang, but rather will be doing his best to secure some much needed points and do us all Malaysians proud – he’s now very much determined to bring the fight to the other European riders by achieving a podium finish at the least.
For this season, Zulfahmi may look to be able to achieve a possible top 5 standings overall in the Moto 3 World Championship.
