Jinkawa wins MRF 1600 race in National Ch'ship

Japanese driver Yudai Jinkawa won Race two of the MRF 1600 race in Round 2 of the MMSC-FMSCI National Racing Championship ahead of Sudarshan Rao and championship leader Ashwin Sundar.
Sundar, starting last, fought his way up to third place after a last lap move on Goutam Parekh. In front Jinkawa cruised to victory with Sudarshan not getting close enough to challenge him.
Vikash Anand drove well to finish in fourth place with 15-year old Tarun Reddy finishing in fifth place after damaging his front wing with a crash with Sundar, who continues to lead the championship.
The Indian Touring Car races were closely contested with championship contenders N Leelakrishnan and Arjun Balu winning races one and two respectively.

In other races, S Narendran capped off a strong weekend by winning both races of the Formula LGB4 & Swift.
Earlier in the day Gokul Krishna won his first race in the India Junior Touring Car championship ahead of Charen Chandran and race one winner Mihir Dharkar.
Race 1 of the day saw the Indian Touring Cars in action with Arjun Narendran on pole ahead of local favourite Arjun Balu. Both got off the line really well and had a great battle in the first half of the race with Leelakrishnan right behind them.
The leaders then collided sending both drivers backwards and Leelakrishnan getting past both of them. Leelakrishnan went on to win the race with Ramnarayan in second and Arjun Balu fighting back to finish in third place.
