Neither jaden

Indian National Car Racing Championship: Teenagers Jaden Rahman Pariat from Shillong and Bengaluru’s Abhay Mohan came up with fine performances to claim top honours in the MRF single-seater categories on the first day of the fourth and final round of the fmsci Indian National Car Racing Championship 2024 at the Madras International Circuit, here on Saturday.

The 17-year-old Jaden set a scorching pace to score his eighth win in 10 outings from pole position in the MRF Formula 2000 race while Abhay, 16, was equally impressive in maintaining his unbeaten run in the MRF Formula 1600 category. Neither Jaden nor Abhay was seriously challenged in their respective races that were run concurrently.

Elsewhere, Mumbai’s Biren Pithawalla (N1 Racing) also notched his eighth consecutive victory in the premier Indian Touring Cars class, holding off Chennai ace Deepak Ravikumar (Performance Racing) who drove a fine race to finish second with a last-lap overtaking of Ananth Pithawalla (N1 Racing).
