Tyre - Rotax Mojo |
| Coimbatore : 8th June 2008 The senior class witnessed a very tough session as top karters from various corners of the country fought it out for honors on race day of the second round of the JK Tyre Rotax Mojo Karting Challenge which was held at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore today. The new generations of racers were on view giving the seasoned seniors and former champions a run for their money. And hogging the limelight in the senior’s category with a bit of luck was Rounak Patil from Kolhapur. Luck also favoured seasoned Rayomand Banajee from Mumbai to help him capture the second place. However, It was an unfortunate outing for the youngster from Kolkata, Karan Goenka who after starting from pole and lead from the beginning till the last lap misread the markers to make a wrong maneuver to surrender the lead and finish third.
After tasting success in Round 1, Parth Ghorpade continued his winning run as he raced to his second successive podium of the season in the junior category.. It was a tough duel for the second place between Kolhapur lad Chitesh Mandody and Samyak Shah from Mumbai. In a thrilling finish Chitesh just squeaked ahead to grab the second place. It was yet another great effort by ten-year-old Dhruv Mohite from Kolhapur in the Micro Max class which saw him recording an extremely comfortable win. Finishing in a distant 2nd place was his hometown teammate Krishna Mahadik. Another promising youngster from Chennai Surya Raghuraman finished in third place. Race results Seniors
