Serhan Acar Announces Historic Turn at the Hungarian GP! New Star Emerges as Replacement for Mario Aji
Honda Team Asia announced a significant change before the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Australian driver, Jacob Roulstone, will take to the track in place of injured Indonesian rider Mario Aji. This marks the first time an Australian pilot has competed in the Moto2 World Championship for Honda Team Asia.
New Pilot Joining the Race: Jacob Roulstone
Jacob Roulstone is a successful young driver who competed in the 2024 and 2025 seasons with the Tech3 team within the Moto3 World Championship. Despite finishing 15th in the overall standings, he did not reach the podium. He currently ranks eighth in the Australian Superbike Championship on a Honda CBR1000RR and also competes in the Moto2 European Championship. In the European series, he has drawn attention with his performance, particularly at the Barcelona opening race, reaching seventh place.
Roulstone’s Career Start and Importance to the Team
Roulstone will take his first start in the Moto2 World Championship career this weekend at the Hungarian GP. This is considered a historic milestone for Honda Team Asia as well. In an announcement from the team's social media accounts, it was emphasized that Roulstone is the first Australian pilot representing the team in the Moto2 class, and “Welcome Jacob!” was shared.

Aji’s Injury and Inability to Participate in the Race
Mario Aji suffered a fractured neck vertebra following a serious crash during training in May. As a result, he missed the Barcelona and Mugello races. He will also not be able to start at the Balaton Park Circuit this weekend. The reasons for the team's preference for Roulstone were among the most important considerations regarding Aji’s condition.
Pre-Race Expectations
The participation of Jacob Roulstone represents both an opportunity and a great responsibility for Honda Team Asia. It is expected that the team will unlock the young driver’s potential and achieve a successful result at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The ability of Roulstone, who has drawn attention with his performance in the European series, to compete against other rivals on the track will be tested.
