Honda’s Somkiat Chantra will get his first taste of Balaton Park during the Hungarian WorldSBK.
Honda HRC rider Somkiat Chantra will make his debut at Balaton Park this weekend after being cleared to ride and missing the track’s MotoGP visit last year due to injury.
Chantra’s return to the circuit comes after being sidelined at Assen two weeks ago following a crash in FP3 that led to upper leg contusions.
The Thai rider expressed his happiness at being cleared for competition and looks forward to familiarizing himself with the new track throughout the weekend.
Joining Chantra in the Honda garage this weekend is Yuki Kunii, who is making his World Superbike debut in place of the injured Jake Dixon.
Kunii aims to make the most of this experience and is grateful for the opportunity provided by Honda HRC team manager Yuji Mori.
Both riders, who have a history together in various championships, are excited to be teammates once again and are looking forward to a successful weekend at Balaton.
