Nationak 4W Racing C'ship: Pune Teenagers Arjun Chheda, Sai Shiva Sankaran Top
17-year-old Arjun Chheda fully captailised on a poor start by pole-sitter Ishaan Madesh from Bengaluru and took the honours in the MRF F2000 races. Finishing third behind the pair was another Bengalurean, Tarun MB who briefly was in P2 before yielding ground to Ishaan Madesh in the first lap. “It was my signature start, but hopefully, I will do better tomorrow,” said Ishaan, the recently crowned National karting champion, reflecting on his tendency to botch starts from pole position. Arjun was happy to score his fourth win of the season, but said: “I had my moments, but managed to keep it all together.”
In the MRF F1600 race, Sai Shiva Sankaran, also 17 from Pune, started from pole position and held off two Bengalureans, Arjun S Nair and Nigel Abraham Thomas to consolidate his position at the top of the points standings. “I made a lot of mistakes in the first part of the race but got into my rhythm in the last three laps. Hopefully, I will not repeat the mistakes tomorrow,” said Sai Shiva Sakaran.
