Two hyderabad

Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship: Two Hyderabad riders, Rahil Pillarisetty (RACR Castrol Power1) and Rajender Beedani (MAI Racing) ended a long wait for title as both sealed the championship in their respective category with a race to spare in the fifth and final round of the MMSC fmsci Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship at the Madras International Circuit, here on Saturday.

To also seal the championship today was Bengaluru’s Varun Patil (Mad Rabbit Racing) in the Stock 301-400cc category while Raj Kumar (Motul Sparks Racing) from Coimbatore moved within one point of claiming the title in the SuperStock Intermediate 165cc category after surviving a close battle with team-mate Md Samrul Zubair (Hyderabad).

The day’s programme was affected by light rain and fading light leading to postponement of one race (Pro-Stock 200cc Open) to Sunday morning.
