Hakim Danish keeps eyes on Red Bull Rookies prize
KUALA LUMPUR: Talented motorcycle racer Hakim Danish Ramli is determined to once again create history for Malaysia before he makes the step up to the Moto3 World Championship next season. Danish is keen on becoming the first Malaysian rider to win the Red Bull Rookies Cup (RBR) and is in a good position to do so as he currently leads the championship with 154 points. But with only two rounds (four races) remaining, the 18-year-old has little margin for error with a resurgent Brian Uriarte (Spain) trailing by only 13 points behind him. The RCB-backed rider said clinching the RBR title would be "unforgettable". "It would definitely mean a lot to me to win the RBR title," said Danish yesterday (July 31). "All the best (young) riders from around the world come to compete in RBR, to be a part of it (series) is already an honour for me. "To go up against them and actually win the title would be incredible. It would be unforgettable. "I will definitely give it my all to win it and I am confident I can continue doing well. I want to finish my season the best way possible." If he is successful in wrapping up the title, it will not be the first time Danish has created history for Malaysia in motorsports. He became the first Malaysian rider to win the Asia Talent Cup (ATC) in 2022, beating Asia's top junior riders for the title. Danish is also competing in the FIM JuniorGP World Championship this season and is seventh in the overall standings with 51 points. A product of the Sepang International Circuit talent development programme, Danish is widely expected to make the step up to Moto3 next season. He could be given a Moto3 wildcard for the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia (MotoGP Malaysia) later this year.
