September 17th, 2011 - 9:30 pm ICT by IANS
Chennai, Sep 17 (IANS) Young Feroz Khan (HCZ Racing) showcased his racing genes as he recorded his maiden win in the Indian Junior Touring Cars class by also clocking the fastest lap of the 10-lap event in the JK Tyre National Racing Championship here Saturday.
The damp track did not deter Khan, son of former National champion Ayub, as he finished ahead of championship leader Diljith Shaji (LCT Sigaram Sports) and B Bala Vijay (Moto-Rev India).
Starting third on the grid, Khan slipped past the front-runners and once in the lead, did not look back as he came up with a near-impeccable drive.
Meanwhile, Ameya Walavalkar (Mars Racing) survived a spin at turn-1 to win the Formula LGB Swift race from TVS Girling drivers S Narendran and Sandeep Kumar.
Narendran was rather fortunate to finish ahead of Sandeep Kumar as he too spun after catching up with Walavalkar who displayed plenty of pluck and some defensive driving to register his fourth win of the season.
In the Super Saloon class race, Coimbatore’s Vijayakumar Rajvirudhan (Prime Racing) saw off a strong challenge from veteran Narayanaswamy Leelakrishnan (RAD Racing) and chalked up a good win while Siddharth Kishore (Performance Racing) came in third in front of championship leader Radha Selvarajan (RAD Racing) who was nursing fever.
The results:
Formula LGB Swift (10 laps): 1. Ameya Walakwalkar (Mars Racing) 20:02.952; 2. S Narendran (TVS Girling) 20:16.798; 3. Sandeep Kumar (TVS Girling) 20:17.092.
Indian Touring Cars (Super Saloon, 10 laps): 1. Vijayakumar Rajvirdhan (Prime Racing) 20:37.716; 2. Narayanaswamy Leelakrishnan (Rad Racing) 20:40.859; 3. Siddharth Kishore (Performance Racing) 2-:53.665.
Indian Junior Touring Cars (10 laps): 1. Feroz Khan (HCZ Racing) 21:57.952; 2. Diljith Shaji (LCT Sigaram Sports) 22:00.005; 3. B Bala Vijay (Moto-Rev India) 22:23.069.
