In the last two days of the 2019 ARRC season, the final race was held at the Chang International Circuit in Thailand. The Honda Racing Vietnam team and speed enthusiasts worldwide are familiar with this track—the Chang International Circuit. The track, which is 4.554km long and has 12 turns, is considered Honda Racing Vietnam’s “home” track because it has been the site of their greatest success. The track features long straight sections and sharp turns, with turn 12 being known as the “fateful turn” of the race.
Nguyễn Anh Tuấn’s debut in the 2019 ARRC
Honda entered the final race with a morale boost from Cao Việt Nam’s stellar performance in the previous race at Sepang, where he earned 12 points. This brought his total to 44 points and moved him up to 14th out of 40 racers in the AP250 category. This achievement also helped the Honda Racing Vietnam team secure the 7th position out of 20 teams participating in this category.
Racer Nguyễn Đức Thành UB150 (#193)
Notably, in the final race, the UB150 category duo “Song Thanh,” Nguyễn Vũ Thành and Nguyễn Đức Thành, did not race side by side. Replacing Nguyễn Vũ Thành in this race was racer Nguyễn Anh Tuấn, known as the champion of the 2018 VMRC season and currently leading the VMRC 2019 ranking after 4 races in the Winner 150 category. With his calm and wise racing style, coupled with the advantage of racing on the Winner 150, Nguyễn Anh Tuấn is expected to create surprises in the UB150 category in the final race of the ARRC 2019.
Racer Cao Việt Nam AP250 (#65)
In the qualifying session on the morning of November 30th, Cao Việt Nam (#65) secured the 13th starting position. The two racers in the UB150 category, Nguyễn Anh Tuấn (#178) and Nguyễn Đức Thành (#193), secured the 28th and 31st starting positions, respectively.
On the first official race day, Cao Việt Nam, starting in the 13th position in the AP250 category, showcased his racing prowess and determination by finishing in 10th place. However, luck was not on Vietnam’s top racer’s side in Race 2, as he had to retire due to a technical issue with his bike. This was a regrettable incident for Cao Việt Nam, considering his impressive performance. At the end of Race 7 ARRC 2019, Cao Việt Nam earned an additional 6 points, bringing his total to 50 points.
Meanwhile, in the UB150 category, two Vietnamese athletes, Nguyễn Đức Thành and Nguyễn Anh Tuấn, competed. Starting from relatively low positions, their chances of breaking into the top 15 scorers were slim. As predicted, at the end of Race 1, Nguyễn Anh Tuấn finished in 19th place, while Nguyễn Đức Thành finished in 20th place. In Race 2, racer Nguyễn Đức Thành finished in 22nd place, while Nguyễn Anh Tuấn had to retire due to a technical issue with his bike.
So, the final race of ARRC 2019 ended in disappointment for Honda Racing Vietnam. However, in compensation, great news came for Honda Racing Vietnam in general and racer Cao Việt Nam in particular. At the Chang circuit over the weekend, the “madman” impressively won the 2019 Honda Thailand Talent Cup with a total of 168 points after 7 rounds and 14 races.
Cao Việt Nam wins the 2019 Honda Thailand Talent Cup
In the 2019 season of the Honda Thailand Talent Cup, Cao Việt Nam stood on the podium 5 times, with 1 first-place finish, 2 second-place finishes, and 2 third-place finishes. This achievement is also the best record of a Vietnamese racer competing internationally to date.
