Mobility Resort Motegi, Japan, 11 July 2025: As the 2025 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) heads towards its third round, the IDEMITSU Honda Racing India team is preparing for the weekend challenge at Mobility Resort Motegi in Japan
The Round 3 presents a crucial opportunity for the IDEMITSU Honda Racing India riders to showcase their skill at one of the most demanding circuits on the 2025 ARRC calendar — Mobility Resort Motegi in Japan. In the previous round held in Malaysia, Kavin Quintal and Johann Reeves Emmanuel finished at 15th and 20th positions, respectively, in Race 2. Building on their efforts, the team is now sharpening their strategy and execution with a clear aim to earn crucial points in the races ahead.
With a total of 5 points accumulated so far this season, the team remains committed to building momentum and achieving improved results in the upcoming rounds of the Asia Production 250cc (AP250cc) class, starting with Round 3 in Japan.
Sharing his thoughts, Kavin Quintal said, “Motegi challenges every aspect of a rider’s skill — it is fast, technical, and requires precision. The Round 2 in Sepang was tough, and I knew I had to stay focused and push through. Finishing 15th in Race 2 was a step forward, but there is still a lot to improve. The goal is to improve speed, accuracy, and be consistent. Round 3 is another opportunity to push harder, and I am looking forward to making further progress.”
Johann Reeves added, “The Round 2 at Sepang was a valuable learning experience. It gave me clearer insight into the level of competition and where I need to improve. Motegi is another technical and demanding circuit, and I have been working closely with the team to keep refining my performance. I am feeling more prepared and confident heading into Round 3, and I am focused on elevating my performance from here.”
