At the end of stage 4, the positions of the two racers were 12th and 15th respectively. Before the match, Cao Viet Nam unfortunately tested positive for Covid 19, so he could not compete in this stage. Therefore, Cao Viet Nam’s score remains at 34 points, currently standing at 12th out of 24.
The final stage of this season will once again take place at the familiar Chang International Circuit, in the beautiful province of Buriram, 400 km from Bangkok. Chang International Circuit is Thailand’s first race track to achieve “Grade 1” standard from the FIA, and Grade A standard from the FIM. The highlight of the track is its 12 challenging turns, with a long straight stretch allowing racers to reach speeds of about 300 km/h during the race.
Cao Viet Nam wins Thailand Talend Cup 2019 at Chang Race Track.
For the members of the Honda Racing Vietnam team, the name Chang International Circuit is no longer unfamiliar. This place has left many memorable moments for young racers with thrilling performances and remarkable achievements. In 2019, right at this international arena, Cao Viet Nam excellently became the first representative of Vietnam to win the Thailand Talend Cup in 2019. Also, in the 1st stage of this season, the three talented racers Cao Viet Nam, Nguyen Duc Thanh, and Nguyen Anh Tuan also surprised international opponents with outstanding results. Returning to the final stage at Chang International Circuit, Honda Racing Vietnam promises to leave a special impression in the hearts of Vietnamese and international speed sports fans with the team’s effort and determination.
This November, the three young men in the Vietnamese colors will once again meet fierce competition with rival racers here. Coming to this final stage, with the experience gained from previous stages, the Honda Racing Vietnam team has had a high-intensity training period, determined to achieve the highest performance. Coming to the final stage, Honda Racing Vietnam has carefully prepared and invested in both human resources, technical aspects, and racing cars, expecting to bring home high achievements.
In terms of technology, the participating machines have been upgraded with engine upgrades. The engine changes, along with significant improvements in braking efficiency, will be a valuable assistance, enabling racers to handle even difficult turns.
In addition, after recovering from Covid 19, in October, Cao Viet Nam had the opportunity to participate in specialized training in Thailand. With a high determination, based on the training results, the racer is evaluated to be no less competitive than the top opponents of this season.
HVN, with years of experience training young racers, has high expectations that the young racers will perform well in Stage 5 of the Asia Road Racing Championship: Getting into the Top 5 in the AP250 category in this stage, in which Anh Tuan and Duc Thanh aim to conquer the Top 10 in the UB150 category.
