The team delivered an outstanding performance by winning the annual Asia Production 250cc championship at the fifth round of the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2026, held last weekend at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.

The two Yamaha Thailand Racing Team riders produced exceptional performances. Krittapat Khueamkham, known as Idea, a rising star competing in the Asia Production 250cc class on a Yamaha YZF-R3, showed blazing form to take first place in both races and built a commanding lead of 79 points over second place. This achievement secured the 2026 championship title with one round remaining and marked Thailand Yamaha Motor's eighth Asian championship triumph.

In the SuperSport 600cc class, Thai veteran Anuphap Samueal, known as Tee, competed on a Yamaha YZF-R6 and consistently maintained strong form by claiming second and third place finishes across both races. He trails championship leader Gasma Daniel bin Gasmayudin of Yamaha Malaysia by just 3 points, setting up a showdown at the final round in Thailand.

Tee Anuphap Samueal is preparing at full fitness to chase the SuperSport 600cc Asian championship before Thai motorsports fans at the final round at Chang International Circuit in Buriram province.
