With close to 70 percent of the entries coming from first timers, the JK Tyre IndiKarting National Series, which uses four-stroke karts, is here to stay.

In Race 2, which started with in the reverse grid format with the winner of Race 1 starting last, Aaroh Ravindra was the star of the race after starting in 13th place. He displayed impeccable race craft to finish second, while Rishabh Rathi did well to win Race 2 convincingly having started from second place on the grid. Aanjan Patodia maintained his domination in Race 3 as he pulled off a brilliant move taking the outer line at the first corner to overtake Aaroh.

 

In the Pro Cadet class, Aadityansh Kaulshi convinvingly won Race 1 after dominating the proceedings. But in Race 2, he couldn’t make much ground after starting under reverse grid rules, which was won by Raunaq Sinha, who cruised to victory. In Race 3, Hoshmand Elavia turned out to be the surprise package after making an excellent start from the second place on the grid to grab the lead. Aadityansh tried his level best but couldn’t find a way past Hoshmand, who won the race.

 

The Senior Open race also provided for edge of the seat action throughout the race. After a close fight, Mumbai’s Jatin Vora overcame the competition to take the winner’s crown ahead of Aman Singh Bhui and Tukshad Daver.

 

In the Interschool category Arihand Taleja of St. Mary’s School came out on the top, while Nitesh Deshmukh representing Bhojwani School finished in second place ahead Aryan Shrivastav of Vibgyor High School.

 

The Senior Amateur was the biggest draw of the opening round of the JK Tyre IndiKarting National Series in terms of entries. After some stiff competition Malcolm Elavia from Mumbai won ahead of Saurabh Sutar and Kamran Dubash. All three winners of these three classes gained free entry into the National Final at the last round in Delhi, where they will compete against the winners from other cities.

 

In other classes, Zubin Chinoy won the Master category ahead of Sameer Tahir and Kejas Shah, while Romilla William won the Women’s category ahead of Aishwarya Dhumal and Khyati Mody.
