After Chennai racer Narain Shankar’s dominating performance in Round 1 yesterday it was the turn of Delhi lad Karthik Shankar from Team Wallace Sports to take the honors in race 1 of Round 2 of the J K Tyre Junior Racing Cup which was held today at the Madras Motor Race Track at Irungattukottai near Chennai. Starting from pole in a grid of 16 Formula Maruti cars, Karthik Shankar shot into the lead and did lose momentum till the finish. Building up a good lead, Karthik took the chequered flag far ahead of his nearest competitor and team mate Rohit Khanna from Bangalore with a margin difference of almost 10 seconds. Yesterday’s hero Narain Shankar had the misfortune of going out the race in the very first lap when he swerved to avoid being hit by Delhi racer Rohit Khanna who was subsequently penalized with 10 seconds addition in his overall timings. This pushed Rohit to
4th place and the process Bangalore racer Sudarshan Rao of Team Rams Racing moved up to second place. Another Delhi racer Kapil Khanna also racing for Team Wallace Sports took the third place. Karthik also had the fastest lap timing of 01:14:326.
