The 2025 SKILLDRVN One Make Race Season 3 ignited Round 2 on April 19 at the Sepang International Circuit, this time challenging drivers with the technical North Track layout. Held under cooler evening conditions, the race was anything but calm, testing driver finesse and race strategy as a damp track added an extra layer of complexity.
Redemption was the story of the night for car #331, Yin Yi (YY), who stormed back from a P5 finish in Round 1 with a flawless performance. She clinched pole position during the 2:30 PM qualifying session and never relinquished her lead, even as her car suffered a cracked oil sump mid-race. “I gave it my all. I made a lot of mistakes in Round 1 and knew I couldn’t afford any this round,” YY reflected after her hard-fought win. With momentum on her side, she’ll carry a 15 kg success ballast into Round 3 — but her eyes are firmly set on staying at the front of the championship chase. 
Making waves in his season debut was Vox Lim (#390), who claimed P2 after a strong qualifying run and a well-executed strategy during the finals. The cooler nighttime conditions worked in his favor. “The weather helped, but I was a bit disappointed I couldn’t close the gap to YY. I lost focus slightly after the pit-in while managing the timing window,” he admitted. Vox is optimistic about Round 3, which promises a fuller grid and even fiercer competition. 
Championship leader Andy Boey (#328) completed the podium in third. Entering the round with a 15 kg success ballast from his previous win, Andy battled against reduced straight-line speed and a costly spin on Lap 3 after clipping a slick curb. Dropping to P5, he mounted a gritty comeback with some daring overtakes to secure P3. “It was a bit of a disadvantage, but since it’s the North Track, it wasn’t too bad,” he said. Andy will now carry a 20 kg ballast into the next round. 
With Round 3 shifting to the full Sepang Circuit and new challengers entering the fray, the 2025 SKILLDRVN One Make Race is shaping up to be a tightly fought season. The championship battle is far from settled — and the best may be yet to come.
