Anindith & Vishnu win 19th JK Tyre-FMSCI National Racing Championship

A 20,000 strong crowd roared as racers of different categories competed with each other throughout the day. Guts and glory was what awaited them and these young drivers let it all out on the track, all in a bid to claim the coveted titles. The race day came to life with live music, stunts by Terry Grant and one of a kind racing bazaar. One and all had their eyes fixated upon racers, their machines, superbikes and sports cars which paraded the track through the day. The final day played host to the Super Bike 600cc category, Touring Class, LGB 4, Superbike 1000cc category and the coveted Euro JK 16 category.    

The renowned father and son duo of Gurvinder Singh and Simranjeet Singh settled for the runners up trophies in the Superbikes categories (600cc and 1000cc). Sandesh P claimed the title for the JK 1000cc Superbike category with a total of 27 points, while Simranjeet Singh came in second with 27 points. Singh had to settle for second as he finished behind Sandesh in the qualifying rounds. Deepak Ravikumar finished in first place on Sunday with a total of 27 points just ahead of Gurvinder Singh who closed the day with 24 points. Singh finished Sunday's race coming in fourth position which cost him the title despite finishing first the day before.

All eyes were fixed on Anindith Reddy of Hyderabad who had been leading in the Euro JK 16 category. Reddy finished first in both races on Sunday. He was trailed by Ananth Shanmugham who came in second with 99 points. The battle between Reddy, Nayan Chatterjee, Akhil Rabindra and Krishna Mahadik had been fierce throughout the day and Reddy did not have it easy. However a few slips by the others ensured Reddy claimed the coveted Euro JK 16 title. “I had a good start and managed to get ahead of the car in front of me right away. That made it easy for me,” he said, after winning the race. Vishnu Prasad from Chennai also had the crowd on edge, with a spectacular battle for first with Raghul Rangasamy and Bryan Perera in the LGB 4 category. Prasad's flawless performance throughout the season ensured a 19 point lead and the crown in the LGB 4 category.
