Accordingly, Cao Viet Nam said: “The Sugo race track is like a roller coaster with high uphill sections and deep downhill sections, as well as twisting and turning sections, extremely exciting. The surface of the track is very beautiful, but because cars run a lot, there are burnt rubber on the road. Hopefully, the weather will be sunny, because if it rains, the track will be a bit slippery compared to other race tracks.”

Furthermore, Cao Viet Nam also shared that the most difficult corner of Sugo is probably corner 9-10. This is a high-speed, downhill corner before entering the final corner.

“I think the final corner is also a challenging task for the riders in terms of technique because of the relatively steep incline, about 10%. However, I always feel very confident, mentally prepared to conquer this stage,” Cao Viet Nam said.

Returning to stage 3 of this year’s ARRC season, the Honda Racing Vietnam team continues to participate with the presence of 3 young talented riders with impressive achievements: Nguyen Duc Thanh, Nguyen Anh Tuan, and Cao Viet Nam, registered to compete in the AP250 and UB150 categories.
