Transcript

00:00Hot drama in the third round of the second season of the 7th Toyota VRS Challenge.

00:05Let's fan it a bit. It's hot, right?

00:07The drama involving Naqib Azlan is about to seize the opportunity, Akbar.

00:11However, after I made the decision,

00:14Naqib managed to defeat the defending champion, Michelle Chia,

00:17as well as strengthen his status as the champion's predecessor.

00:24Not so long ago, the sensation of Naqib Azlan's Axle Sports

00:26created history in the Toyota Gazoo Racing.

00:29He defeated the defending champion, Michelle Chia, in the Super Sporting category.

00:33This victory completes Naqib's career,

00:35who previously won the Rookies and Sporting category in the previous editions.

00:43First of all, Alhamdulillah.

00:46This result is the happiest that I can ask for.

00:53There were many challenges in today's race,

00:57but we tried our best.

01:00We never gave up.

01:04Alhamdulillah, justice was turned,

01:07and the results paid out the way we wanted it to.

01:11Big thank you to the team, to Axle, to Toyota,

01:15for giving me the chance to start racing in the Rookies in 2021.

01:21I lost for words.

01:23Michelle Chia, in his reaction,

01:25admitted that Naqib's ability to portray the young racer as an extraordinary racer

01:29has raised the standard of the race.

01:34What can you say about your performance as an overall champion?

01:42To be honest, I'm happy that I gave it my best until the very end.

01:49And of course, the penalty to drop me out of the championship overall.

01:55But it's fine, because as I said, I'm happy that I gave it my all.

02:01Mainly because we were struggling throughout the entire week.

02:05We were having issues with the speed of the car.

02:08I had a loss of speed from the very beginning of the weekend.

02:12That's where it put me at the back of the grid,

02:15where I wasn't able to fight with the rest in front.

02:19And that made it very difficult for me to fight for the championship.

02:23But until the very end of Race 2, the fight was still there.

02:28There was a chance.

02:31In the end, it sucks that I had an issue with the car.

02:35But I'm happy that we managed to get second overall with the fight.

02:42Alright, thank you.

02:44Good luck for next season.

02:45Yeah, thank you.

02:47With this victory, Nakiab Azlan strengthened his status as one of the best racers in Malaysia,

02:51bringing a new spirit to the race.
