"I've never done a three-hour race alone before. This is the most special one," Avik told The Business Standard (TBS) after his remarkable feat.
The weather was adverse on the race day. The race was red-flagged due to rain at the start.
"Once the race resumed I drove really well, and consistently. That's why I could do a lot of wonders," he said.
No racer from Bangladesh achieved the feat before, racing 300 km alone.
The Malaysia Championship Series is a national racing series promoted and organized by Sepang International Circuit as an initiative to promote and develop 4-wheel racing sports in Malaysia.
