Coimbatore, Dec 5 (Motor Sports news): Arya Singh and Ruhaan Alva shone in the rain-hit third and penultimate round of the 24th JK Tyre-FMSCI National Racing Championship here over the weekend, notching up two wins each in the Formula LGB and JK Tyre Novice Cup categories respectively.
Heavy rains had halted the session for a couple of hours on Saturday but the wet track conditions made the races in the LGB Formula 4 & JK Tyre Novice Cup category exciting.
As the participants were gearing up to take to the track, the rain came down and halted proceedings for over an hour. However, race officials took the decision to hold the race for the cars.
It continued to rain but the Formula LGB4 races were held. The race was run under the safety car and yellow flag for the first four laps but Arya Singh of Dark Don Racing did well to secure his first race win. Arya completed a sweet double by winning the final race of LGB Formula 4 race.
On Sunday, Amir Sayed (Ahura Racing) notched up his second race win this season in the LGB Formula 4 class. The youngster from Kottayam took the lead in a first corner and kept Mohamed Ryan and championship leader Vishnu Prasad (both MSport) at bay in the first few laps. But once he broke free, there was no turning back. He further took control to take the top honour.
Due to heavy rains on Saturday, the two-wheeler race was pushed to Sunday. Anish D Shetty proved his superiority winning both the races in the JK Tyre presents Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup. It wasn’t easy though for the Hubbali rider, particularly in the second race, as Allwin Xavier threatened to take him on in the final stretch.
There was something to cheer for Guwahati’s Jaden R Pariat of MSport on Saturday despite the downpour. He managed to win one of the races at the expense of championship leader Ruhaan Alvaa, who hit the finish line first but was handed a 10-second time penalty for crossing the white line at the pit exit. It proved too costly for Ruhaan at the end. But the Bengaluru lad hit back to win the next two races in style on Sunday.
