Antar Bhuiyan Set for X30 Senior Karting Debut at Malaysia Festival of Speed 2026
Team Bangladesh brings a diverse and talented lineup to MFoS26, featuring Karting Sprint, Auto Gymkhana, and Karting Slalom.
Bangladesh is preparing to make history once again on the regional motorsport stage. ATXR Racing driver Antar Bhuiyan has been officially selected and nominated by the Automobile Association of Bangladesh (AAB) to represent the nation at the highly anticipated Malaysia Festival of Speed (MFoS) 2026.
Breaking Ground in the X30 Senior Category
Organized under the auspices of MAM, the FIA ASN for Malaysia, the MFoS 2026 promises to be a spectacular showcase of regional talent. Antar Bhuiyan will be fiercely competing in the Karting Sprint Senior category. More significantly, Antar will become the very first Bangladeshi driver to compete in a Professional Regional karting sprint race behind the wheel of a high-performance 125cc X30 Senior Kart.
Driving alongside the renowned PR1 team, Antar is set to navigate the intense, high-speed battles that define the X30 Senior class, demonstrating the rising capabilities of Bangladeshi motorsport athletes on an international circuit.
A Strong National Contingent
Antar will not be the only driver flying the flag for Bangladesh at MFoS26. The national effort is heavily supported by the Automobile Association of Bangladesh (the FIA ASN for Bangladesh), which has nominated a highly capable team.
Joining Antar are esteemed AAB Academy drivers Kashfia Arfa and Sarwar Hussain Chowdhury. Kashfia Arfa, continuing to break barriers as a pioneering female driver, will showcase her precise car control in the Auto Gymkhana category. Meanwhile, Sarwar Hussain Chowdhury will take on the challenging Karting Slalom category, further diversifying the Bangladeshi representation at the festival.
The entire motorsport community wishes Antar, Kashfia, Sarwar, and the rest of the Team Bangladesh contingent the absolute best of luck as they prepare to battle it out at this prestigious regional championship event!
