Sarthak, who will turn 18 at the end of October, clinched the crown by winning Race 1 which put him beyond reach of his rivals in the points tally.

Riding with great maturity, Sarthak tucked himself behind race leader and teammate Chiranth Vishwanath, the 17-year-old from Bengaluru, before making a move late in the six-lapper to notch his eighth win in nine races. Veteran Rajini Krishnan (RACR Castrol Power1 Ultimate) was placed third. The result put Sarthak 57 points ahead of Chiranth on the leaderboard.

“It feels great to win my maiden National title. I have had a good season this year with five podium finishes at the Asian level. At the start of the season, I was focused on my riding and wanting to do well,” said Sarthak.
