Congratulations to Ayrton (Year 6)! 🏎️

We are proud to celebrate Ayrton’s outstanding performance in the Micro Max Class, competing against a strong grid of 17 drivers across two major events:

• RMC Asia Trophy 2026 – Round 2
• RMC Thailand 2026 – Round 2

Starting from P1 in the Final, Ayrton faced intense pressure throughout the race and briefly dropped to P2. Demonstrating exceptional focus, composure, and race management, he delivered a decisive move on the final lap to reclaim the lead and finish in a spectacular P1 victory.

His remarkable performance secured a Double Podium finish across both events, highlighting his growing confidence and competitive strength on the track.

An exciting and inspiring weekend of racing — well done, Ayrton!

Congratulations to Punn (Year 6)!🎾

We are thrilled to celebrate Punn’s outstanding achievements at the Space Tennis Junior Championship 2026, where he captured the 🏆 U12 Boys Singles Title and the 🏆 U12 Boys Doubles Title in an exceptional tournament performance.

In the U12 Boys Singles, seeded No. 7, Punn demonstrated incredible determination and resilience throughout the competition. He battled through every round from the Round of 32 to the Final, ultimately defeating the No. 1 seed (5–3, 4–2) to claim the championship, after also overcoming the No. 4 and No. 8 seeds along the way.

In the U12 Boys Doubles, seeded No. 2, Punn and his partner displayed excellent teamwork and composure, securing the title with a hard-fought 7–5 victory over the No. 1 seeds.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is Punn’s rapid progress since moving up to the U12 category at just 11 years old. Since February, his LTAT National Ranking has soared from No. 190 to No. 77, and now to an impressive No. 33 (as of 4 May 2026), reflecting his dedication, perseverance, and competitive growth in a very short period of time.
