Hi, I am glad to cross the finished line with some points collected. I had a tough time during qualifying where it was wet for the both session, but not bad as I did quite a good time in the first session and no-one improved in the second qualifying, not bad to start from 7th position.

Hi Everybody, Now I'm back home after the Brno GP. Now raring to go for San Marino GP. In Brno, not really happy with both races as in Race 1 I just manage to bag 1 point and had a tough time fighting with the fast improved Yui Watanabe for 14th position.

Hi Buddies, I really enjoyed the Sachsenring race, even though I collected no points in Race 2 but still I crossed the finish line. I qualified 12th and started the race in row 3 so that was not so bad. Had a good start in both races, but still need to improved the first section.

Hi All, To start the race from the 2nd row really motivate me to do my very best in Assen. In Race 1 I made quite a good start, but lost it in the first turn. My rear just jumping around during late braking making me lose a few places and I lost the front group.

Hi all, Can't wait to see my bike, my Rookies family after a long off season break. Looking forward to meet the new members. Hopefully 2012 is a good year for me. Last year was a good learning year, racing on a GP bike on new tracks, new environment......

Posted on 04 Sep 2011 | Written by Hafiq Azmi

Hi Everyone, After spending more than two weeks in Misano it was great to see all my Rookies Buddies, mechanics and my bike again for the final round of the season. It was my first ever experience at this circuit, and it's a difficult track. Everybody was fast during qualifying. Just one or two second separating each other. I did less than 2 seconds from the pole time and qualified 12th for the race.

Blog | Hafiq tough time in Race 2

Posted on 16 Aug 2011 | Written by Hafiq Azmi

Hi everyone, Really had a hard time in Race 2. After some adjustment to the rear suspension, the bike improved in the corners but the mid power just disappointed me, especially on the hilly part of the circuit. Totally on my own in the race, just happy to cross the finishing line. Now just hoping for a good race in the final round in Misano, a circuit that I have never been to.

Hi Everyone, Happy with my results in Race 1 in Brno. It's hard for the first time at this circuit. An incident in free practice that hurt my hand gave me a hard time during qualifying. With a two second gap to the pole time I had to start from the last row of the grid.

Hi Everybody, Had a good weekend in Sachsenring after spending more than a week in Munich. It's the best race weekend 'cos I manage to cross the finishing line in both races. Though I started from the last row due to being penalised for going out after the red light was on. I'm happy to finished both race in 11th position with points collected. Although I couldn't catch up to the first group I really had a good race in the 2nd group...clocking constant times each lap.

Posted on 09 Jul 2011 | Written by Hafiq Azmi

Hi Everyone, It was a hard weekend. Whenever we Rookies boys race, rain comes. I was 8th fastest during qualifying but also had a crash and almost couldn't start the race. Luckily the Doctor gave me the green light at the last minute to ride but with a special cast on my leg. It's really hard to race on an almost dry surface with rain tyres. I also had to fight with the pain when shifting gear. I managed to stay in mid group, just played it safe and was happy to cross the finish line in 17th position.

Posted on 01 Jul 2011 | Written by Hafiq Azmi

Hi Everyone, It was a great feeling to be in Assen for the first time. But the weather was wet. In qualifying I manage to qualify 13th fastest. It was my first time at the circuit and the weather was wet. In race 1 I was still not happy with my start. I managed to do some overtaking, going OK until the last 7 laps then I lost my rear end and crashed while in 7th position. I picked up the bike and tried to do the catching up. Happy to cross the finishing line in 11th position. At least some points collected.

Hello Everyone, After enduring 16 hours of flying, finally we touched down in Lisbon in the evening of the 28th for the race weekend rounds 3 & 4. Immediately we went straight to the Estoril circuit... really happy meeting the family...the Rookies Cup family. I went straight to take a peep at my bike, really missed her. Then we went to the hotel to get good rest hoping for the best for the qualifying on Friday and very happy. Since Jerez, I had no chance to do any riding session at all and to be on the bike again during free practice was really the best thing. I could though just manage to be the 10h fastest.
