Chennai sensation Vishnu Prasad, who had sealed the victory on Day 1 itself, added another feather to his cap surpassing 100-points tally for the season in JK Racing India Series with yet another emphatic victory in the final race of the day. With his third career Championship title, Vishnu further enhanced his growing reputation as one of the contry’s premier racing driver.

With more consistency, they will be expected to provide a tougher competition to Vishnu in the coming years.

Comeback-man Ajay Kini from Dark Don Racing, who returned to the grid after a long sabbatical, announced his arrival in style. A fourth-placed finish in the final race of Formula LGB4 Series was enough for the 26-year old pilot from Chennai to seal a Championship triumph. In the closely fought championship, Vishnu Prasad and Raghul Rangasamy finished second and third as Ajay’s vast experience proved to be the clinching-factor.

Meanwhile, Anandith Reddy romped to victory in the JK Tyre-VW Vento Cup category while Delhi-boy Karminder Singh finsihed second. Ishaan Dodhiwala from Hyderabad finished third.

The second-race of the day – Formula LGB 4 saw an early stutter due to a major collision in the second lap that started with Sandeep Kumar of Meco Racing Chennai getting hit and crashing in to two other racers. Three cars got eliminated from the race as a result. The fiercely contested battle between Dark Don Racing drivers Krishnaraj Mahadik, Sudharshan Rao and Vishnu Prasad ended with Krishnaraj crossing the finishing line first with a narrow gap of 1.090 seconds over Sudharshan. However a belated penalty to Krishnaraaj relegated him to the third-place as Sudarshan took the top-spot. Vishnu finished second in the race.
