Blue Steel Racing are back. One of H1GP's most recognisable outfits returns for the 2026 season with a renewed sense of purpose. BSR are a professional Kuala Lumpur-based team that has built its identity on the simple, uncompromising premise that pros don't race for free.
With over 170 race victories and 40 championships to their name across multiple series, BSR carry serious pedigree into the new season. But it is not their past they are focused on; it is a title that got away by the thinnest of margins.
Five wins in 2025. A championship that came down to just five points. For most teams, finishing second in such a tightly contested season would be cause for celebration. For Blue Steel Racing, it is unfinished business.
The Lineup
BSR field a two-driver lineup that blends proven championship pace with fresh, emerging talent. A combination that reflects the team's broader philosophy of nurturing the next generation while competing at the very top.
Anson Yong: The Contender
Anson Yong was the standout performer of the 2025 H1GP season by any objective measure. Five wins. The fastest driver on the grid across stretches of the calendar. And still, come the final reckoning, he finished five points adrift of Logan Pearce in the championship standings.
It was a result that stung. Not because Yong was outpaced, but because he knows exactly where those points were left on the table.
"Yeah, it was frustrating. Five points is basically nothing over a full season, so it makes you think about all the small things that could've gone differently. I also had a few weekends where attendance didn't go my way, and at times the calendar felt a bit too packed, which meant we didn't always have enough time to prepare properly between rounds."
— Anson Yong, Blue Steel Racing
The self-awareness is striking for a 14-year-old. Rather than point fingers, Yong identifies the marginal gains such as consistency, preparation, weekend management. These are the areas that will define his 2026 campaign. The pace, as he puts it, has never been the issue.
"But there's no point sitting on it. You take it, learn from it, and move forward. For 2026, it's about being more consistent, making fewer mistakes, and managing weekends better. The pace is there, so it's really about putting everything together more often and not wasting chances. As for Logan Pearce, it doesn't really change much. He did a good job last season, but we're focused on ourselves. If we perform how we should, we'll be right there."
— Anson Yong, Blue Steel Racing
That composure, combined with the motivation of last season's near-miss, makes Yong one of the most dangerous drivers on the 2026 grid.
Keith Moh: The One to Watch
Alongside Yong, Blue Steel Racing hands a seat to 13-year-old Keith Moh. A driver who represents exactly the kind of story BSR love to tell. His journey into sim racing was not manufactured; it grew organically out of a shared passion with his father, a curiosity that gradually became something much more serious.
"I started sim racing 5 years ago after my father introduced me to cars and racing, and my interest kept growing over time. What began as simple curiosity developed into a real passion as I learned more about driving techniques, tracks, and different racing styles. Through consistent practice and dedication, I improved my skills and became more serious about sim racing."

Now a paid driver for one of Malaysia's most established sim racing organisations, Moh arrives in H1GP not as a passenger but as a genuine prospect. His trajectory consists of five years of dedicated practice, culminating in a professional seat at 13. This reflects exactly the kind of development pathway Blue Steel Racing have made their trademark.
"Today, I feel proud and happy to be racing for Blue Steel Racing as a paid driver, as it shows how far I have come from when I first started."

The Team Behind the Drivers

Founded in Puchong, Selangor, Blue Steel Racing have spent years building one of the most complete sim racing operations in Malaysia. Their drivers do not just compete. They are trained, supported, and compensated as professionals. It is a model that has produced results across domestic and international competition, including a historic first Malaysian win in GPVWC history and a Le Mans 24 Hours LMP2 category victory in 2026.
Blue Steel Racing is a professional sim racing team based in Puchong, Selangor, with over 170 race victories and 40 championships across multiple series. Known for fielding paid drivers and producing elite-level talent, the team competes across both domestic and international platforms.
That infrastructure gives BSR an edge that goes beyond raw driver speed. The ability to prepare, analyse, and adapt across a long season, which are qualities Yong himself identified as crucial, is built into the team's DNA.
2026 Outlook
The 2026 H1GP season is 14 rounds long, beginning at Suzuka on March 29th. Blue Steel Racing enter as one of the championship favourites. A team that was seconds and small decisions away from the title just one season ago, now hungrier and better prepared.
Yong's message to the grid is clear and unambiguous: if Blue Steel Racing execute how they should, they will be right there. No asterisks. No caveats. Just a driver who knows what he is capable of, backed by a team that knows how to win.
H1GP welcomes Blue Steel Racing back to the grid. The championship just got a great deal more interesting.
