"I feel very happy because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm currently practicing on off-road bikes and doing visualization training to prepare, because I've heard that the level of competition in the ARRC is very high. I've only ever raced in South Korea and I have no idea how far I can go, but I want to do my best and enjoy battling against rivals from the other Asian countries on some of Asia's best tracks."

Lim debuted as a racer in 2012 and despite being relatively new, he has gained a wide range of experience in 250cc, 600cc and 1,000cc class racing in the Korea Road Race Championship. In the ARRC, he aims to compete hard against his rivals in Asia, gain experience, improve his skills and make greater progress in his career as a racer. Besides aiming for success in the ARRC, he hopes to also make big steps in his native South Korea, such as becoming a 1,000cc class champion.
2015 Pre-season Comments
"I'm glad to have the chance to compete in an international racing series. The tracks and machine are both new to me and there is a lot I don't know yet, so what I can do is limited at the moment. Still, many riders are in the same boat, and as a rider representing South Korea, my motivation is high and I'll do my best. My goal is to stand on the podium. This won't be easy, but I hope to gain a lot from competing against the other riders and continue my growth as a rider this season."
