Delhi boy tops Polo R Cup C'ship table after round 3

Karminder Pal Singh of New Delhi has emerged as the most consistent performer and leader in the overall tally with 251 points at the end of round three of Polo R Cup 2014.
Bonnie Thomas holds the second spot with 229 points, closely followed by Lee Keshav with 215 points. Angad Singh Matharoo (190 points) and Anindith Reddy (189 points) stake claim to fourth and fifth position, respectively.
In the first two rounds held at Coimbatore, it was Thomas who clinched two victories out of the four races. The other two races belonged to Matharoo and Karthik Singh Tharani.
Coming into round 3, it was Keshav, who stuck his nose ahead of everyone on day one to walk away with two wins. However, a consistent Karminder has turned out to be the hero after the seventh race of the season - with not a single victory so far, yet at the top of the championship.

The Delhi lad finished second in the last race. However, he clinched maximum points since race-winner Dylan Perreira, being an international guest driver, doesn't qualify for scoring points.
The round three also saw a few disappointing moments for some of the top drivers. Anshul Shah moved down to 6th place after being stripped of all the points in the last race of the round three for an incorrect move during racing.

For Keshav, it was a weekend with mixed feelings - winning two races back to back on day one and getting a DNF (Did Not Finish) on day two. Nonetheless, he moved up from 5th position to 3rd. The biggest disappointment though was for Chennai's Tharani, who despite having excellent pace through all sessions, couldn't move up the order and stayed a seventh.

Commenting on the season so far, Sirish Vissa, Head of Volkswagen Motorsport India said, "Motorsport is most exciting when you have close battles, tight fights and an ever-changing championship leader. The season so far has had it all.
"It is good to see that the championship is not going in any one particular direction, but is indeed being fought for by the top eight drivers who are placed within 50 points of each other.
