Tijil takes LGB Formula 4 overall title; Navaneeth seals Continental Cup at National Racing Championship finale

On a sunny Sunday at the Kari Motor Speedway, Tijil was all smiles as he had opened a massive lead even before the last round was held on the outskirts of Coimbatore. Even though seasoned racer Saran Vikram surprised one and all by winning the first and second races on Sunday, Tijil did not mind it.

He had realised there was no point in attempting anything too hard as he was assured of the overall trophy.

"This has been a brilliant season for me and I am happy with the way it went about. I wish to thank my team and also JK Tyre for putting up such a great show," said Tijil. As runner-up in the 2023 season, Tijil had gone back home and worked hard and to a plan. "The main thing was working on my fitness and it has made a huge difference. But then, I am very happy with my overall season performance, after putting in seven years in racing," added Tijil. His parents were to cheer him as well. Indeed, the surprise of the morning was seasoned professional Saran Vikram (Momentum Motorsports) as he pushed pedal to metal and stayed ahead.
