The final round of the 2023 Asia Road Racing Championship unfolded with some heart-pounding action and sheer determination as the riders of IDEMITSU Honda Racing Bharat team fought it out on the tracks of the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand in the Asia Production 250cc class (AP250 class).
The Indian duo of Kavin Quintal and Mohsin Paramban was seen unleashing their riding prowess and resilience, leaving a lasting impression during the 10 lap race in the 2023 Asian Road Racing Championship. In the second race, starting from number 11 on the grid, Kavin Quintal put on an impressive show in the last race of the season and continued his quest for victory in the final round.
The excitement intensified as he very strategically manoeuvred his way and pushed his limits on the track giving strong competition to the fellow riders. He crossed the checkered line in 10th position with a total time of 18:56.590. Meanwhile, his teammate Mohsin Paramban from Mallapuram unfortunately couldn’t manage to finish the Race 2.
Race 1 which took place in the peak heat of the afternoon, Kavin Quintal showcased unwavering focus and skill while maintaining consistency and race pace throughout.
Despite facing challenges, Quintal exhibited his prowess on the track, securing a strong position. However, a mechanical failure, awaiting him in the final few laps of the race prevented him from driving past the checkered line.

I appreciate the unwavering support from my team and eagerly look forward to showcasing an even stronger performance in the races to come,” said Honda Racing India rider Kavin Quintal.
Mohsin started the race from the very back of the grid in 20th position. Through strategic moves and expert throttling, Mohsin secured the 16th position, proving his mettle against tough competition on the track.
“In Race 2, I was determined to make a stronger impact, and despite starting from a challenging position, I fought my way through the competition but unfortunately could not finish the race. Every race teaches me something new, and I am focused on refining my skills. I appreciate the support from the Honda team, and I am determined to continually improve and deliver better performances in the future,” said Honda Racing India rider Mohsin Paramban.
