Sepang 1000KM 2024 – Performance Race Driver Coaching by Mikko Nässi

I competed in the Sepang 1000KM race for the 3rd time in a row. The past two years I raced in the Toyota Vios category with Axle Motorsports. This year I drove the Honda Jazz alongside Jwan Hii and James Russell with the Motul Awesome Racing Team.

It’s always tough adapting to front-wheel drive cars, but having two very quick teammates makes it much easier to find the pace. Being able to compare onboard videos and data with quick drivers is a cheat-code to speed.

We brought the car home in 3rd place! A few car issues in practice meant we didn’t get a lot of time to run the car, which definitely cost us time in terms of being prepared properly with strategy and affected at least my own ultimate padce – but stepping up onto the podium was a great reqard for the hard work everyone had put it.

Big thank you to all the team sponsors and to James and Jwan for calling me up to partner them.

Here’s a few pictures from the event:
