Indian motorcycle racer Hari Krishnan romped home to his first-ever podium finish at the international level, finishing a creditable second in the Race 2 of the Asia Dream Cup here.
Putting in a spectacular performance from start-to-finish, the 22-year old from Chennai provided ample proof of his talent with his aggressive racing style.
Hari is a product of Honda's training Ten10 Racing academy and selected by the company to represent India based on his consistent performances in the Honda One Make Race Championships. With the podium, he became the second-Indian to do so after S Sarath Kumar had finished second in Qatar during 2014 season.
Having earlier finished the Race 1 in 11th position, Hari is currently placed seventh in the overall Championship Standings with 32 points.
The Asia Dream Cup, a part of the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship, is an six round motorcycle racing championship conducted by Honda. 18 racers from 10 countries across Asia (Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Philippines, Sri Lanka and India) race on specially modified CBR 250Rs in Asia's best race tracks.
This year, the Buddh International Circuit will host the Round 5 of the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship from September 29-October 2.
