ARRC 2026 Round 1 Sepang: Pointer x Tianyu Asia Racing in AP250

The 2026 ARRC (Asia Road Racing Championship) season opener at Sepang, Malaysia set the tone for another intense AP250 campaign — and this paddock shot says it all.

Our Pointer logo stands out prominently on the pit board, reflecting years of close technical collaboration with Tianyu Asia Racing Team. This partnership is built on data, reliability, and shared race goals.

In AP250, we have been deeply focused on real race conditions for years. Today, among AP250 teams racing with Yamaha R3, around 90% (9 out of 10 teams) run our high-capacity Pointer Racing Radiator — a milestone earned through continuous on-track validation.

The most widely adopted product is our Pointer Racing Radiator, trusted to keep engines stable in Southeast Asia's extreme heat and humidity. We iterated the cooling package five times to optimize water-channel flow and impeller design for race-specific thermal management.

For 2026, we also brought our in-house full exhaust system to the grid. This Yamaha R3 build carries multiple Pointer components, and the same race-proven parts are available through our online store.

From R&D to race day, Pointer remains committed to helping teams run harder, cooler, and more consistently in AP250.
