Peerapong Boonlert and Keminth Kubo have participated in the ST600 class MOTEGI Road Race Championship held at Twin Ring Motegi.
Both the qualifying race and the final race took place in wet condition. At the qualifying race, Keminth finished the second with a time of 2 min. 6 sec. 155, and Peerapong finished the third with a time of 2 min. 6 sec. 907. They both succeeded to acquire a position that can aim the championship, and moved forward to the final race.
At the final race, Keminth, who was good at wet tracks raised his position from his first round and went to the top. Then Peerapong also came up at the second round, allowing others to expect the one-two finish of Team Norick.
They swap the lead at the fifth round, and Keminth was the one who won the race in the end. Peerapong finished the second place, and they actually did take a one-two finish!
A very good race result for the team!

This was the best race I've ever participated in Japan. I'm good at wet tracks, you know. And this time, both the qualifying race and the final race happened to be held in wet condition. How lucky of me! I'm really happy that I could win the final. And I thank all of you for supporting me! I count on your kind support in the next race too.

Once again, I set my mind to do my best at this race. But the track condition turned out to be wet; a condition type which I did not prefer. I was able to finish at a satisfying race time, yet I think I can do better next time. I would like to practice more until the upcoming race, and try to get a further positive result! I hope you would support me in the next race too.
