Meco Racing’s Dhruv Goswami and Dark Don Racing’s Balaprasath shared a race win each in the premier Formula LGB4 category of the CTR-JK Tyre FMSCI Indian National Car Racing Championship at the Kari Motor Speedway circuit in Chettipalayam here on Sunday.

The season’s opening round saw rain and safety car interruptions for most part. It was quite a challenge for the drivers but Dhruv and Balaprasath held their nerve to steal the show.

Anish Shetty called the shots in the pro class of the Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup. He moved his way up from the fifth position to cross the line ahead of Navaneeth Kumar.

In the amateur category, Kabir Sahoch completed a weekend hat-trick, fending off early chaos and a collision between Shyamal Das and Akash Boro to win by 1.793 seconds with a fastest lap of 1:19.452.

Pratik Sonawane completed a weekend sweep in the Gentleman class with a flawless pole-to-flag win by 5.053 seconds over Sidharth Balasundaram in the JK Tyre Levitas Cup. Aadam Junaid made it two wins in two starts in the rookie class.

Team N1 Intervalve’s Biren Pithawalla won a chaotic, rain-hit Indian Super Touring Cars finale by 2.480 seconds, snatching victory from star driver Arjun Narendran at the final corner.
