(last updated 2026-01-27

Malaysian racer Yin Yi Loke became the first female champion of the SKILLDRVN One Make Race Series in 2024, taking home over RM8,500 in prizes and proving she’s a force to be reckoned with on Southeast Asia’s circuit racing scene.

EARLY YEARS

Information about Yin Yi Loke’s early life and entry into motorsports is not currently available. What is clear is that by her late twenties, she had found her way into Malaysia’s competitive one-make racing scene, where she would make her mark as one of the country’s standout female drivers.

OTHER INTERESTS

Details about Loke’s interests outside of motorsports have not been publicly documented.

EARLY SUCCESS

Loke cut her teeth in endurance racing, competing in Malaysia’s legendary Sepang 1,000km event. In 2023, she co-drove with Nurul Auni Nasharuddin in a Toyota Vios, gaining valuable seat time and experience in the grueling multi-hour format[1]. The following year, she returned to Sepang with a different strategy and co-driver lineup, sharing a car with Daniel Storkersen and Kirill Syrapushchynski, finishing respectably in the highly competitive field[2]. By 2025, she had joined forces with Kenny Lee under the Kegani Racing Academy banner, and the duo topped the Vios Cup category with 163 laps completed, finishing 21st overall[3]. It was clear: Loke wasn’t just participating—she was learning, adapting, and getting faster.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

2023: Competed in the Sepang 1,000km endurance race with co-driver Nurul Auni Nasharuddin in the Toyota Vios class[1].
2024: Won the SKILLDRVN One Make Race Series Season 2 championship as a 30-year-old female driver, earning RM8,377–RM8,500 worth of cash and prizes[4][5][6].
2024: Returned to Sepang 1,000km with co-drivers Daniel Storkersen and Kirill Syrapushchynski[2].
2025: Secured pole position at SKILLDRVN One Make Race Round 3 with a blistering lap time of 2:52.414[7].
2025: Won the Vios Cup category at the Sepang 1,000km with co-driver Kenny Lee, completing 163 laps and finishing 21st overall under the Kegani Racing Academy banner[3][8].
2026: Selected as one of the drivers for the Kyojo Cup auditions at Fuji Speedway as part of Toyota’s 2026 Japanese motorsports programme, joining Williams Racing Driver Academy member Sara Matsui and karting star Ella Lähdemaa[9][10].

INSPIRATIONS

Loke has not publicly shared details about her personal inspirations or mentors in racing.

REPUTATION

Yin Yi Loke has earned a reputation as a consistent, fast, and smart racer. Her 2024 SKILLDRVN championship wasn’t a fluke—she dominated Round 3 of the 2025 season with pole position and showed she could maintain her edge under pressure[7]. In endurance racing, she’s proven to be a reliable co-driver, able to handle multi-hour stints and deliver clean, competitive lap times. Her selection for the prestigious Kyojo Cup auditions in Japan signals that international scouts have taken notice of her talent[9][10]. In Malaysia’s tight-knit motorsports community, she’s known as a driver who gets the job done without drama—a rarity in any racing paddock.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Loke’s participation in the Kyojo Cup auditions at Fuji Speedway in late 2025 positions her for a potential leap into Japanese motorsports in 2026[9][10]. The Kyojo Cup is part of Toyota’s structured driver development programme, and being selected for the tryout alongside drivers from the Williams Racing Driver Academy and top-tier karting backgrounds suggests she’s being groomed for higher-level competition. Back home, Kegani Racing Academy has confirmed its return for the 2025–2026 SKILLDRVN One Make Race Series, and with a new Supercup Pro category added to the championship, Loke is expected to defend her title while competing in more advanced machinery[11]. Whether she stays in Southeast Asia or makes the jump to Japan, one thing is certain: this is a driver on the rise.
