Round 2 of the 24th JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship in Coimbatore this weekend. The opening round of the 24th JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship (JKNRC) 2021 was hosted at the Kari Motor Speedway (KMS) in Coimbatore last month.
Coimbatore: The season's opening round of the 24th JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship (JKNRC) 2021 hosted at the Kari Motor Speedway (KMS) in Coimbatore last month dished out some juicy moments for the spectators.
There is much more in store in the second round to be held at the KMS circuit yet again this weekend. The riders and drivers, who have come from across the country are now even better prepared and battle ready to push themselves up the order in the provisional points table.
Chennai's Vishnu Prasad and Bengaluru boys Sohil Shah and Ruhaan Alva showed fabulous fighting spirit and refusal to accept defeat in the first round. That was perhaps what made the round exciting for those in attendance.
After the first round, Vishnu heads the premier LGB Formula 4 standings with 21 points from three races followed by Sohil Shah (14 points). Amir Sayed of Kottayam is not far behind. He is curre‘ntly lying third and it is only a few points that is now separating him from his former MSport teammates.
But the top three are aware of the other drivers, who are capable of pulling off a surprise on their day. The list includes Mohamed Ryan and A. Sandeep Kumar (both Chennai), Arya Singh (West Bengal), Chirag Ghorpade (Bengaluru), T.S. Diljith (Kerala), to name a few.
The ever-popular Mira Erda from Vadodara, Gujarat, showed fine form as well battling alongside the adventurous boys. There are a host of other drivers from Delhi, Haryana and Faridabad who are also keen to show their bit of magic on the track.
The JK Tyre presents Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup, which made its debut in the opener, was equally enthralling. The bikes looked bigger and heavier but the riders were stronger and faster.
Anish Damodara Shetty from Hubli was the man in command. He was hotly challenged by Allwin Xavier from Thrissur. The duo, having tested the machines for one full round on the smooth and flowing Kari track, is expected to build an even better show during the weekend.
RaivatDhar (Jammu) and Lani Zena Fernandez (Puducherry), the only girl racer on the grid for the RE GT Cup, will all look to better their performance in the second round.
Ruhaan Alva ruled the races in the JK Tyre Novice Cup. There was not even a slight whiff of underperformance from this youngster from Bengaluru. It's going to be tough for the rest in fray to play catch up with him.
The exciting part of the turnover in a JK Tyre racing championship, of course, is the effort in finding new and promising talents. There are many coming in from every nook and corner of the country to test their skills in the Novice Cup.
There will three races each of JK Tyre LGB Formula 4 & JK Tyre novice Cup and 2 races of JK Tyre presents RE Continental GT cup over the weekend.
