Where Grassroots Racing Feels Like a Street Festival
If you think motorsport is all about superbikes and big horsepower, you haven’t stood trackside at a Malaysian Cub Prix round. The 2025 PETRONAS Malaysian Cub Prix Championship rolled into Teluk Intan for Round 4 and delivered its trademark mix of chaos, colour and caffeine-fuelled adrenaline to one of Malaysia’s most passionate racing towns.
This isn’t ARRC.
There’s no corporate hospitality, no air-conditioned lounges.
This is street food, screaming underbones, tents instead of pit walls, and fans who treat every pass like a national celebration. Grassroots motorsport at its purest.
Teluk Intan’s tight, street-style layout and unpredictable grip gave us everything we came for: handlebar-to-handlebar combat, last-lap lunges, and a few physics-defying saves that would make MotoGP riders take notes.
CP150 – Afif Amran Makes It Look Easy (Again)
It’s starting to feel like Ahmad Afif Amran is determined to remind everyone why he’s the benchmark of CP150. The PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha CKJ Racing rider looked frighteningly composed — the kind of calm that only comes from total confidence.
Afif qualified strong and controlled the early laps, but Honda’s Izzat Zaidi didn’t make it simple. The pair traded lines, divebombs and braking markers like seasoned gamblers. But Afif’s exits were different class — smooth, tidy and impossible to match.
With two laps to go, the gap opened. By the time the chequered flag dropped, Yamaha fans were already halfway to a carnival. Kids waved flags like helicopter blades, mechanics hugged like long-lost uncles, and someone was still yelling “Milo ais!” over the sound of engines cooling down.
Another win, another layer of confirmation:
Afif isn’t leading this championship by accident.
CP125 – Idlan Haqimi’s Patience Pays Off
If CP150 is where the stars shine, CP125 is where future champions are forged, and Teluk Intan delivered absolute gold.
Up front, it was a straight-out dogfight between Idlan Haqimi Raduan and Hafiz Nor Azman. Two riders entering corners two-wide, exiting on pure belief, and treating every lap like the last.
Hafiz led early, but Idlan — riding for Yamaha RCB AHM Motor — played it smart. He managed tyres, watched lines, and waited for the mistake. It came at Turn 3 with two laps remaining: Hafiz drifted wide, Idlan slipped through, and that was that.
He held it to the line, taking his first win of the season. In a class where milliseconds matter, that kind of maturity hits different.
Wira KBS – Amirul Hadi Steps Up Again
The Wira KBS category (under-17 riders) is always a cocktail of raw talent, nerves and chaos — and Round 4 delivered all three.
Amirul Hadi kept his momentum rolling with another lights-to-flag masterclass for Honda Yuzy Idemitsu Team. Smooth, focused, fast — even when the rear tried to step out through bumpy Turn 5, he didn’t flinch.
Behind him? Absolute bedlam.
Positions changed three times within corners, elbows out, knees grazing tarmac hot enough to fry telur mata.

The Character of Teluk Intan
Teluk Intan isn’t a conventional racetrack. It’s part street, part temporary circuit, and fully committed to chaos. Heat radiates off the asphalt, the grip shifts corner to corner, and bravery becomes its own currency.
Spectators line the barriers just metres from the action.
Nasi lemak and satay vendors keep the crowd fed.
Kids wave handmade flags.
The whole town feels alive.
This is Cub Prix.
Racing isn’t brought to the people — the people make racing what it is.
Why Cub Prix Still Matters
In an era where motorsport is often polished, expensive and corporate, the Malaysian Cub Prix remains beautifully, stubbornly human.
Mechanics wrench under tents, not pristine pit awnings.
Riders hustle for every chance.
Fans show up rain or shine.
And the energy? Pure electricity.
This is where future world champions start.
This is where Malaysian motorsport breathes.
For CheekyMoto, covering Cub Prix means staying connected to the roots — the stories that shape riders long before they hit the international stage.
Championship Momentum Going Into Jasin
With Teluk Intan wrapped:
Afif Amran tightens his grip on the CP150 crown

Round 4 didn’t just hand out points — it reminded us why Malaysian motorsport is thriving.

Local pride.
Real racing.
Teluk Intan can sleep easy knowing it delivered another classic.
For us at CheekyMoto, it’s another story told from the tarmac — because sometimes you don’t need 200 horsepower to feel alive.
All you need is 150cc, a street circuit, and a crowd that believes.
