Lombok (Indonesia), Jul 27 (PTI) The riders of the IDEMITSU Honda Racing India team impressed in Race 1 of Round 4 of the 2024 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship in Indonesia on Sunday.
The Indian duo of Kavin Quintal and Mohsin Paramban completed the race with determination and consistency at Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit.
Starting strong from the 27th position on the grid, Chennai’s 19-year-old rising star, Kavin Quintal, swiftly moved up after the first lap and maintained consistency throughout the race.
Leveraging his experience and executing strategic moves effectively, he gave tough competition to international riders and continued to elevate his performance despite an injury. He finished the race at 19th position with a total time of 18:37.226.

Both the riders, however, could not secure any points for the team in Race 1 of Round 4.
