Rally Driver Dominates Sirkuit Jalak Harupat Special Stage
Sirkuit Jalak Harupat hosted a special stage with varying lengths, from the longest at 4.1 kilometers to the shortest at 3.7 kilometers, all on winding asphalt tracks known for their fast-paced nature. Over the course of a two-day race, drivers tackled 4 SS totaling 15.60 kilometers. The track got a bit tricky at SS2 due to heavy rain causing wet conditions.
Barlean, alongside navigator Ronan Riwong, took the lead from the first Special Stage. Driving a Toyota Yaris Proto, they dominated the race with a time of 14 minutes and 41.7 seconds, securing the top spot in class M1.
Emmanuelle Amandio, with co-driver H. Rizky Fauzi, ruled the F3 category in a Mitsubishi Lancer GTi, completing 4 SS in 15 minutes and 13.4 seconds.
Meanwhile, TB Adhi, paired with navigator M Fahrezi Fadh, pushed the Ford Fiesta Rally3 in the RC3 class but ultimately conceded to Toyota Gazoo Racing.
Dewa United Motorsport X MSRT, under the leadership of Director Kusuma Bagya, expressed satisfaction with their results, viewing it as a significant step towards their goal of becoming the national Rally champion by 2025.
Looking ahead, Dewa United Motorsport X MSRT recruited top-notch drivers split into two teams. Team A features TB Adhi, Bintang, and Emmanuelle Amandio, while Team B consists of Andi Yusrizal, Krishna Adiyasa, and Indie Fiancoko.
TB Adhi, the Group J Sprint Rally National champion and AXCR 2023 runner-up, brings a wealth of experience, alongside Bintang Barlean, who has claimed numerous podium finishes in the Kejurnas Reli series. Muliana Saleh also joins the list of drivers.
With a strong lineup and positive results, Dewa United Motorsport X MSRT aims to make a mark in the upcoming Rally event in Semarang later this month, showcasing their determination and passion for the sport.
