Clean sweep by racer Donison in Rotax Kart Open Cup

Local lad Ricky Donison of BPC Racing team dominated the Rotax Kart Open Cup by winning all the eight races over two rounds in the senior category at the MECO Kartopia track here.

Donison, the 2015 National Rotax Max Karting Championship winner, was in a league of his own in the eight races spread over two rounds that were run on Saturday and Sunday. The event served as an excellent warm-up for the national championship commencing next month.

Also enjoying a fair amount of success were Donison's team-mate Chirag Ghorpade who won five of the eight races in the Junior Max category while Shahan Ali Mohsin of MECO Racingn team chalked up six wins in the Micro Max class to underline his status as national champion in this class.

Despite the dominance of few, the races, especially in the Micro Max category, were very competitive with Ruhaan Alva of the newly-formed Peregrine Racing and Akshay Bohra of MECO Racing sharing the podium with Shahan.

In the Junior Max category, Ghorpade had to fight off team-mate Manav Sharma and MECO Racing's Yash Aradhya and Nirmal Umashankar who won a race apiece.
