Main races postponed in first Indian Racing League in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, Nov 20 (Motor Sports News) The main races on the second day of the inaugural edition of Indian Racing League being held here on Sunday were postponed following a minor incident.

The scheduled qualifying races, pole, sprint and the main event were to be held on Sunday.

However, a reported collision, though officially not confirmed, during practice session with one car led to the organisers announcing that they have postponed the races to further investigate the incident.
