Australia's Hugh Barter of Godspeed Kochi made up for his disastrous outing on Saturday with a grand double in the Formula 4 Indian Championship that was held along with Round 1 of the Indian Racing League which concluded at the Madras International Circuit on August 25.
Malaysian Alister Yoong showcased his racing pedigree with a lights-to-flag win for Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers in the first round of Indian Racing Festival which was presented by Kingfisher Soda.
Starting from pole position, Yoong, the 21-year-old son of former Formula 1 driver, Alex, enjoyed an untroubled run after seeing off an early challenge from Hyderabad Blackbirds' Akhil Rabindra who eventually settled for P2.
Czech Republic's Gabriela Jilkova, representing Goa Aces JA Racing finished third after an impressive drive in a race that turned out to be processional with track positions at the front remaining unchanged throughout the 25 minutes plus-1-lap outing.
"I had a beautiful car today. So, yeah, I had a good start, and it is nice to win," said Yoong.
