Chennai, June 22 (IANS): Arjun Narendran and Feroze Khan achieved a triple crown each in the second round of the 2014 MMSC-FMSCI National Racing Championship (NRC) that concluded here Sunday.
Meanwhile, Teenager Tarun Reddy, who was docked a 90-second penalty for his incident with Vikash Anand in the first race Saturday, recovered to win both races of the MRF Formula Ford 1600 championship Sunday.
The penalty pushed Reddy to eighth place in the final classification of Saturday's race and gave Advait Deodhar his first win of the season.
Feroze Khan (Indian Junior Touring Cars) and Arjun Narendran (Indian Touring Cars), completed a clean sweep in their respective categories. Khan, who had both the races Saturday, achieved a hat-trick by easily winning the third race of the weekend Sunday as did Narendran.
Ajay Kini won his second race of the weekend while Goutam Parekh took his first in the LGB Formula 1300 class.
The two MRF FF1600 races highlighted the day's programme and provided all the action. Niranjan Todkari starting on reverse grid pole position lost the lead to Siddharth Trivellore at the start of the first race.
Siddharth went into the lead with a fast starting Reddy jumping from seventh to second by Turn 3 of the first lap. He soon passed Siddharth as well to take lead and went on to win the race.
Advait got past Siddharth when the latter made a mistake to take second place with Siddharth third place. Vikash Anand's weekend got even tougher when he suffered from engine problems.
