Akhil Rabindra from Bangalore finished third.

Finishing second, Chennai boy Vishnu Prasad had a few nervous moments with Arjun Maini from Bangalore right on his tail, eventually pipping Maini by less than half a second.
In Race 1 of the Polo R Cup Rahil Noorani, the fastest driver on track during the qualifying started first and held his position till the chequered flag finishing with a total time of 14:26.151.
