Vishnu, who suffered yesterday after making a jumpstart, was back to his best as he overtook the pole-sitter and Race 1 winner Akhil Rabindra of Bangalore early in the race before stamping his class to win in the morning at the Buddh International Circuit.
The versatile driver has been adjusting to three different cockpits this season as Vishnu aims to become the champion racing driver in the domestic circuit with three crowns.
"I am trying to make my mark. Money is a big factor which prevents me from going abroad so I want to win here and impress upon sponsors to further my career," said Vishnu.
After an uneventful start to the FB02 race, Rabindra fell behind midway through before fast-pacing Vishnu caught up with those ahead and pushed to the front. He clocked 22 minutes 00.295 seconds to win the race ahead of Mumbai's Rahil Noorani, who was home in 22:14.946. Rabindra ended third with a timing of 22:18.461.
