Halfway into the season, Honda Racing India with the end of round 2 has earned a total of 11 points so far in the 2023 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) and will forge ahead to raise the stakes higher in the Asia Production 250cc (AP250cc).

Leading the ARRC charge in Asia Production (AP250) class and with an exhilarating display of racing prowess, is the experienced Kavin Samaar Quintal, the solo Indian team's rider who displayed consistent performance in the AP250cc in Round 2 of the 2023 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC). Kavin was keen to make a forward step in Race 2 however; his race came to an unfortunate end when his bike encountered a technical issue in lap 2, leading him to retire to the pits. Despite this setback, Kavin managed to accumulate two points in Round 2 at the Sepang International Circuit, maintaining a presence within the top 15 in the overall championship standings.
