At the Astra Honda Dream Cup 2026 in Purwokerto, Indonesia, a one-make race series was run using the Honda Vario Evo 160 scooter. With CVT modifications restricted to emphasize rider skill, Decksa Pong of Tri Bintang FDR Champion swept both beginner-class categories.
Limiting CVT mods so it comes down to rider skill, that's scooter racing at its purest. Thinking about what works on Asian streets, there's something dreamy about a daily commuter turning straight into a race machine. I want to take a Vario around that course myself.

Scooter racing, Asia's always been serious about this
This looks like a fun event just to watch
What does 'one-make race' actually mean?
A race format where everyone runs the exact same model
A daily scooter turning into a race machine is amazing
With CVT locked down it's basically weight over skill anyway
