Multiple Teams Vie for Malaysian Rider Hakim Danish's Services

Malaysian Moto3 rider Hakim Danish Ramli is attracting significant interest from multiple international racing teams, with at least five to six squads from both Moto3 and Moto2 categories competing for his signature for the next season. Zulfahmi Khairuddin, manager of SIC Racing, confirmed the high level of interest from "high-profile teams" who are serious about securing the young talent.

Khairuddin stated that discussions are ongoing, and while his primary focus is on the current team, he is evaluating several other options. He emphasized that the selection process will not solely be based on financial offers. Instead, the decision will heavily weigh factors crucial for Hakim Danish's long-term development, including team compatibility and the potential for him to advance to the premier class, MotoGP.

"In motorsports, performance is everything. We cannot make decisions based on emotion or just money," Khairuddin explained. He stressed the need for a competitive motorcycle, a skilled crew, and an environment conducive to a rider's growth. He also noted that not all European crews are necessarily a good fit for Malaysian riders, highlighting the importance of careful assessment of the working environment.

While some teams have reportedly promised a pathway to MotoGP, Khairuddin cautioned against being swayed by "sweet promises on paper." He indicated that his current team, MT Helmets-MSi, is also awaiting his decision as most of their rider lineup for the upcoming season has already been finalized. The ultimate goal is to place Hakim Danish in the best possible environment to foster his career progression.
