    While all the winners of the Vios Challenge Season 5  deserve applause, the performance of young drivers is worth mentioning:

    • 17-year-old Hayden Haikal grabbed I position In the Super Sporting Class for elite and professional drivers.
    • 22-year-old Naquib Azlan shot victory in the Sporting Class after making a transition from simulator racing to competitive racing just last year.

    On his victory, Naquib said, “I was hoping to come back to race this season. I really enjoyed racing last year in the Rookie Class and I was looking forward to competing against much more experienced drivers this time.  Thankfully, Axle Motorsports decided to field a team this season and to move from virtual racing  into the real world therefore I am very thankful to them for this opportunity and I want to make the most of it.”

    Nabil also commented on his performance by saying, “I’m surprised how a lot of the things I’ve done in simulator racing can be applied to real-world racing and I was very happy with my racecraft in the first race. I wanted to pace myself and try to  get as close as I could to the other drivers in the Super Sporting Class (both the Super Sporting and  Rookie Classes start together) but just enough to steer clear of any incidents.”

    “The most difficult part with real racing is dealing with the high temperature in the car and this is something I will need to focus more on moving forward, he added.
