Ishaan topped all the sessions \u2013 Official Practice, Qualifying, Heat, pre-finals and finals \u2013 to consolidate his position in the championship standings ahead of the sixth and final round which will be run this weekend.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy, especially the Finals. They were catching up with me and I had to keep pushing,\u201d said Ishaan after holding off Guguram\u2019s Aarav Dewan (Leapfrog Racing) and Mumbai\u2019s Krish Gupta (Rayo Racing) who finished second and third, respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Other winners in Round-5 included Mumbai\u2019s Kiaan Shah (Rayo Racing) in junior max, Rehan Khan Rasheed (Momentum Motorsport) from Chennai in mini max and Coimbatore\u2019s Shiv Neel (MSPORT), son of India\u2019s first Formula 1 driver Narain Karthikeyan, in micro max category.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kiaan Shah kept his wits about him to win a close race in the junior max class after starting from P2. There was considerable jostling in the early part of the race but Kiaan survived some tense moments before breaking through to win with something to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
