Hakim Danish is ready to return to action in the Moto3 World Championship as the next round, the Japanese Grand Prix (GP), takes place at Mobility Resort Motegi this weekend.

The Japanese GP marks the opening round of the 2026 Asian leg of the championship, before the series continues to the Indonesian GP on 11 October, Australian GP on 25 October and Malaysian GP on 1 November.

Racing with AEON Credit-MT Helmets-MSi, Hakim Danish heads to Motegi with confidence after collecting 101 points, placing him seventh overall in the World Championship standings.

With the competition becoming increasingly intense, Hakim Danish is targeting a consistent start to the race weekend from the opening free practice session.

Motegi demands a high level of precision and concentration, particularly when tackling its combination of technical corners and several challenging braking zones, which are among the key characteristics of the circuit.

Hakim Danish’s main focus will be to find a competitive bike setup from the opening session before turning his attention to qualifying and the race, with the aim of securing his best possible result in Japan.

The Asian leg will also be an important phase of the season for Hakim Danish and the team as they look to maintain their momentum heading into the final three rounds in Indonesia, Australia and Malaysia.

Hakim Danish: “This weekend is race week for the Japanese GP, and I’m really excited to begin the Asian leg of the championship. I’ve been looking forward to this race and I’m determined to give my best performance at Motegi.

My strategy is to make a strong start from the very first day. I want to build a good rhythm, stay focused and remain competitive throughout every practice and qualifying session.

Together with the team, we will work hard throughout the weekend to ensure the bike is performing at its optimum level, with the goal of scoring as many points as possible and carrying that momentum through to the MalaysianGP.”

Zulfahmi Khairuddin: “This week marks the start of the Asia Tour, which is a very important period for us as we will be facing back-to-back races. The priority is to ensure that Hakim Danish remains healthy and in the best possible condition. Secondly, we want to build his confidence with the bike and make sure he continues to compete at a strong and competitive level.

I will be with Hakim Danish in Motegi, and I hope that my presence there will give him the encouragement and support he needs as he prepares for the race.”
