Okayama: A runner-up result at Sunday's 10th round of the GT World Challenge Asia in Okayama, Japan, was the shining moment for the Johor Motorsports Racing Team, as Tunku Putera Johor Tunku Abu Bakar Sultan Ibrahim captured his best result of 2025 alongside British professional driver Alexander Sims.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, taking over for the second half of the race, Tunku Abu Bakar wasted little time climbing into P2 with a decisive move, before delivering a composed run of consistent laps to secure a well-deserved podium.

Having also reached the podium in the previous round at Fuji, Tunku Abu Bakar is enjoying a strong run of form as the championship heads into its closing stages with the next stop at the new Beijing street circuit next month.

'We finished the race second, which is a great result. I tried hard to keep up with the leader, but we lacked a little bit of pace. I did make a good overtake on the car ahead early in my stint, and I felt we made strong progress today compared to yesterday's race,' said Tunku Abu Bakar in the statement.

Green had qualified the Corvette on the front row with the second-fastest time, but their race ended on the opening lap after contact resulted in suspension damage and retirement.

Despite the setback, Tunku Abdul Rahman remains firmly in the hunt for the Pro-Am title, sitting third in the standings and just 15 points off the lead with two rounds to go.

Rounds 11 and 12 of the GT World Challenge Asia will take place at the new Beijing street circuit on Oct 17-19.
