Asian Champion Yu Ka Po: India’s rising karting talent Kiaan Shah of Rayo Racing marked his Senior international debut with a double podium finish in Round 2 of the IAME Asia Series and IAME Thailand Series.

The 15-year-old Mumbai racer came into the weekend after a difficult phase, having suffered a fractured arm in a snowboarding accident in late December that sidelined him for nearly two months. Despite limited preparation, Kiaan made a confident step up from the Junior category into a highly competitive Senior field featuring a World Champion and several Asian and European champions.

Kiaan showed strong pace in the heats but was placed 14th on the grid for the Final. He produced a determined drive, steadily gaining positions to finish fifth, just 1.6 seconds behind reigning Asian Champion Yu Ka Po of Hong Kong. The result earned him a podium finish, with the top five classified as winners in the competition.
