In the fourth round a couple of days back at the same venue, Arshi (Leapfrog Racing) won both the championship points scoring races, the pre-final and final, comfortably. She also put in eight consecutive fastest laps in the final today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, two Bengaluru-based Peregrine Racing teammates, Zidaan Arshaan Anees (Micro Max) and Akshat Misra (Senior Max), triumphed in their respective classes, while Hridaan Sanadhya from Pune (Crest Motorsports) topped the Junior Max category. The trio earned maximum championship points by winning the pre-final and final races.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Almost all the sessions today had their fair share of contacts and collisions, which spiced up the proceedings. Amidst the chaos, Arshi Gupta was simply unstoppable as she won the Mini Max races in a dominating fashion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
One of the exciting races was the Mini Max Final, where Coimbatore\u2019s Shivneel Karthikeyan (MSPORT), son of India\u2019s first Formula One driver Narain Karthikeyan, clinched a third spot after fighting his way through the field but could not pass Bengaluru\u2019s Ridhaan Anil Kumarr (Red Rabbit Racing), who finished second behind Arshi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, Zidaan, after jumping into the lead at the start, maintained a consistent pace, which saw him draw away from the chasing pack that included Round 4 topper Kolhapur\u2019s Ayansh Patil (MSPORT) and the hard-charging Rudrapratap Singh Shekhawat from Gurugram (Leapfrog Racing), both of whom finished on the podium in two races on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The senior class races, marked by 23-kart grids, also dished out nail-biting finishes where the track positions kept changing in both the pre-final and final. Akshat Misra, after holding off the challenge in the early laps, topped both outings. Bengaluru\u2019s Rohaan Madesh (Peregrine Racing) managed to finish ahead of Eshanth Vengatesan in the pre-final. Later, in the final, Rohaan looked good for P2 behind Akshat Misra until he got involved in a collision and dropped out of contention. Eshanth squeezed through for a P2 finish ahead of Mumbai\u2019s Aahil Mecklai (Rayo Racing).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
