Biography — Alvin Bahar
"Racing is not just about speed. It's about precision, discipline, and the relentless pursuit of perfection — on every lap, on every track."

Alvin Bahar is not merely a racing driver — he is a living institution of Indonesian motorsport. As the Director and founding pillar of Honda Racing Indonesia, Alvin has spent over four decades accumulating a record that stands unmatched: 14 National Championship titles across touring car and single seater classes.

Background

Through sheer talent, strategic race craft, and an engineer's understanding of the machine beneath him, he rose to claim 13 National Touring Car Championships and an additional National Single Seater Championship — a feat that has cemented his status as Indonesia's most decorated touring car driver.

Legacy

Beyond the podium, Alvin's true legacy is the ecosystem he has built. As Director of Honda Racing Indonesia, he has transformed HRI into a world-class programme — developing young talent, managing professional drivers, and competing with factory-level precision. His son, Avila Bahar, who holds five national titles, stands as proof of the dynasty Alvin has forged.

2025 Season

In 2025, Alvin dominated the ITCR 3600 MAX with 53 championship points across six rounds. Six races, six P1 finishes, five qualifying poles. The master still sets the benchmark.
