FMSCI National Karting Championship Rotax: Bengaluru's Rohaan Madesh (Peregrine Racing) came up with a brilliant drive to top the Senior Max category in the first round of the MECO-FMSCI National Karting Championship Rotax Max Classes at the CoASTT circuit here.

Also topping their respective classes were a trio of MSPORT team drivers, Chennai’s Eshanth Vengatesan in the Junior Max, Rivaan Dev Preetam, also from Chennai, in the Mini Max and Shiv Neel from Coimbatore who notched a double by winning the Pre-Finals and Finals races in the Micro Max.

Rohaan Madesh’s skills were put to acid test in the Finals as he stoutly defended his P1 spot despite close attention from Mumbai’s Aahil Mecklai (Rayo Racing) who had to settle for second place ahead of Bengalurean Rishon Rajeev (Birel Art India). Having also won the Pre-Finals earlier, Rohaan, thus, completed a fine double. Incidentally, the Senior Max attracted Asia’s biggest grid of 34 drivers.
