Di final, Rio yang mengawali start dari belakang, mampu finis di urutan kelima. Sebelumnya, Rio memang tak dapat menyelesaikan babak prafinal setelah gokartnya dilanggar peserta asal Malaysia.

Di kelas senior rotax max, Alexandra Asmasoebrata yang finis di urutan kedua setelah Ryan Anthony juga unggul dalam raihan poin klasemen akhir. Sementara, gelar juara kelas master diraih Eris Mahpud.

Rio, Alexandra, dan Eris yang sama-sama berada di bawah bendera Shadaff Racing Team berhak mewakili Indonesia di kejuaraan gokart dunia. Kejuaraan gokart dunia atau world final rotax max akan berlangsung di Italia, November mendatang.(ANS/Wira Respati)

Rio, next Indonesian Racing Star

Liputan6.com, Pattaya: Pembalap muda Indonesia, Rio Haryanto, membuat kejutan dengan menjuarai Formula Asia 2.0 di Thailand, belum lama ini. Mengawali lomba di urutan start ke-4, Rio langsung menyodok ke urutan dua. Namun, sesudahnya ia harus berjuang mengamankan posisinya yang terus dibayang-bayangi pembalap Prancis Mathias Beche dan Yoshitaka Kuroda asal Jepang.

Setelah menuntaskan 20 lap lomba di atas lintasan Sirkuit Internasional Bira, Pattaya, Thailand, Rio akhirnya berhasil finish di tempat kedua. Di depannya pembalap Swedia Felix Rosenquist yang memang jauh lebih unggul dari segi pengalaman.

Namun, di kelas Asia, Rio menjadi yang tercepat dan berhak atas podium teratas. Tak hanya sampai di situ, pembalap muda yang tengah meretas jalan ke pentas balap dunia Formula Satu ini menorehkan waktu lap tercepat dengan torehan waktu 1,101 detik.(ADO/Wira Respati dan Taufik Maru)

Rio Haryanto Bersiap ke Formula 1

Liputan6.com, Jakarta: Nama Rio Haryanto sudah tak asing lagi di dunia balap otomotif Tanah Air. Usia yang relatif muda dan sederetan prestasi di awal berkiprah pada ajang balap single seater patut diacungi jempol. Terakhir Rio membuat kejutan dengan meraih podium Formula Asia 2.0 di Thailand akhir pekan lalu [baca: Rio Haryanto Juarai Formula Asia].

Dengan prestasi tersebut, tak berlebihan rasanya bila para penggemar olahraga otomotif menaruh harapan Rio dapat menjadi pembalap Indonesia pertama di balap Formula 1. Yang jelas, Rio mengaku senang bisa berbuat untuk bangsa dan negara. "Intinya, bangga bisa mengibarkan Merah Putih, juga untuk HUT SCTV," ujarnya.(ADO/Tim Liputan 6 SCTV)

Heavenly drums, silver bell dancers, light wheels and flying men took center stage to greet guests at the National Stadium Sunday for the closing celebration of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. "You made the Games," said IOC President Jacques Rogge
