The AirAsia-SIC-Ajo rider displayed his maturity and composure at the two tests, consistently posting five top 10 positions in six sessions, only missing out on day two at Jerez after being involved in a crash. The first three sessions at the Valencia test also saw him among the top 10.

“There were people who doubted my abilities to ride a four-stroke machine, but these tests gave me the opportunity to prove that I can handle the new challenges for the upcoming season,” said the 20 year old. “But that doesn’t mean that I can take my foot off the pedal. There’s still a long way to go before the season begins and I have to keep working hard to maintain my performance.”

The Malaysian rider is aiming for an ambitious top 10 position by the end of the season, which he will contest on a factory KTM. “It’s a dream come true for me to finally get my hands on a full factory bike. It is an honour for me to be one of five riders to be given a KTM.”

Team principal, Aki Ajo took pride in Khairuddin’s outstanding improvement since the youngster first came under his wing in 2011. “Fahmi has shown great improvement since he first came to us last year. I am proud of our involvement in Fahmi’s career and delighted to have played a part in providing him a full factory KTM bike this season.”

Sepang International Circuit Chief Executive, Datuk Razlan Razali was delighted with the rider’s encouraging test results, but issued caution before the season start on 8th April in Qatar. “We shouldn’t be over confident with the test results, the real test for Fahmi is when the season starts. I hope that Fahmi will keep focusing and pushing himself towards the goals we have set for him this season. It’s now up to him to deliver the goods and make himself, his family and all Malaysians proud.”

AirAsia Group Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, said: “Fahmi has definitely developed and improved tremendously since we started with him in 2009. We will continue supporting his development and we wish him all the best for the 2012 season and hopes that he will make Malaysia proud.”

Anak kampung ke litar dunia
Oleh AIZAWATI AHMAD
sukan@utusan.com.my

ZULFAHMI (kiri depan) mudah menyesuaikan diri dengan krew pasukan yang terdiri daripada warga asing walaupun cuma berasal dari pekan kecil Banting.

SEPERTI kata pepatah Melayu, ‘tuah ayam nampak di kaki, tuah manusia tiada siapa yang tahu’. Begitu juga dengan tuah Zulfahmi Khairuddin.

Empat tahun lalu, tiada siapa menduga anak kampung kelahiran Banting, Selangor ini mampu menggegar dunia, apatah lagi permulaan kariernya di litar perlumbaan CubPrix agak kurang menyerlah.

Namun, sikapnya yang enggan mengalah dan sentiasa dahagakan cabaran telah membuka lembaran baru dalam karier Zulfahmi. Cubaan nekadnya untuk menyertai Program Wild Card 2009, nyata membawa tuah apabila potensi besar yang dimilikinya dikesan oleh Litar Antarabangsa Sepang (SIC).

Bagaimanapun menurut Pegawai Media SIC, Nor Lina Ayob, sebelum SIC mengetengahkan bakat Zulfahmi ke pentas perlumbaan dunia, pelumba SIC-AirAsia-Ajo itu terlebih dahulu diasah bakatnya oleh dua individu yang memainkan peranan penting dalam kariernya.

“Fahmi tidak pernah lupa jasa Ron Hogg (Pengarah Promosi Promoter Kejuaraan Two Wheels Motor Racing Sdn Bhd) dan Shahrul Yuzy Ahmad Zaini (bekas pelumba kelas 250cc).

“Mereka ini merupakan individu yang cukup yakin dengan bakat dimiliki Fahmi, walaupun kedengaran suara-suara sumbang yang seolah-olah tidak merestui hasrat Fahmi beraksi pada perlumbaan dunia, 125ccc (kini Moto3),” katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia.

Bukan mudah sebenarnya untuk Zulfahmi mengembangkan sayap ke perlumbaan Grand Prix dunia kerana setiap langkahnya diiringi dengan kata-kata sinis oleh mereka yang tidak yakin terhadap kemampuan anak muda itu.

Malah, keperitan yang terpaksa dilaluinya itu turut diluahkan ketika penulis menghubungi Zulfahmi, baru-baru ini.

Zulfahmi berkata: “Sebenarnya ramai yang tidak yakin dengan kemampuan saya. Tetapi, apabila saya berjaya berada di kedudukan keenam pada GP Qatar dua minggu lalu, mereka yang selama ini tidak sokong, tiba-tiba berikan sokongan.

“Alhamdulillah, saya akhirnya berjaya bukti kemampuan saya, malah, sokongan peminat juga semakin ramai. Dulu tiada siapa yang pandang saya, tetapi kini saya sudah ada penyokong yang memberi dorongan kepada saya.”

Siapa yang menyangka daripada seorang budak kampung biasa, Zulfahmi kini berada di pentas dunia. Anak muda itu amat beruntung kerana selain mendapat restu kedua orang tuanya, perjalanan karier Zulfahmi turut mendapat sokongan penuh daripada Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif SIC, Datuk Razlan Razali.

Razlan merupakan insan di sebalik tabir yang sentiasa memantau perkembangan anak muda itu agar dia kekal fokus terhadap perlumbaan Moto3 dan tidak lupa di mana bumi dipijak.

“Fahmi tidak dimanjakan oleh SIC. Untuk pengetahuan semua, Fahmi merupakan seorang pelumba yang sangat berdisiplin dan berjimat cermat.

“Sikap merendah dirinya itu diharap akan terus bersamanya sampai bila-bila.

“Datuk (Razlan) amat mengambil berat terhadap Fahmi, mereka berdua terlalu rapat, sehinggakan setiap keputusan yang hendak dibuat Fahmi pasti dia dapatkan pandangan Datuk,” kata Lina mengakhiri perbualan.

Pada 29 April ini, Zulfahmi bakal bersaing dalam perlumbaan kedua Moto3 di Litar Jerez, Sepanyol.

Jika, dia berjaya mengekalkan persembahan konsisten, tidak mustahil anak muda itu mampu meletakkan dirinya berada dalam kelompok 10 terbaik dunia untuk musim 2012 seperti yang diimpikannya.
