Brilliant brace for Ruhaan Alva and Jigar Muni

JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship dishes out exciting races

Brilliant driving by Ruhaan Alva got him a double victory in the Formula LGB4 and Jigar Muni too showed equal skill to bag a brace in the JK Tyre Novice Cup race of the 26th JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore recently.

In the post-event scrutiny five drivers were disqualified from the Formula LGB4 races and three in the Novice Cup races.

Five topline drivers lost their position and points on the final day. Arya singh, Tijil Rao, Diljith TS, Viswas Vijayaraj and Sarosh Hataria were disqualified and excluded for technical infringements in both the final-day races. Thus new leaders made their way into the points table after post-event scrutiny.

Arya began on a winning note, baggin the Race 1 with ease. Starting from P3, the Kolkata racer quickly exerted his dominance and sneaked into the lead in the first lap itself while overtaking his senior teammate TS Diljith. But Diljith kept up the pressure and got the lead back in the next lap only to hand it back to Arya.

However, with the Safety Car out in the fourth lap, it was expected the one behind the leader would make up most of the lost ground and press hard to narrow the gap. But, Arya drove with guile and precision to keep his nose ahead with gritty defence.

Diljith kept the pace on but could not find a way past and eventually had to rest content with the second spot. Championship leader Tijil Rao of Dark Don Racing looked good to secure a third-place finish but his joy was short-lived as Ruhaan Alva of MSport took him by surprise in the final corner for a place on the podium.
