Coimbatore, Nov 16 (PTI) Tijil Rao moved one step closer to clinching the overall drivers' championship in the Formula LGB4 category at the 27th JK Tyre National Racing Championship.
On an action-filled day at the Kari Motor Speedway, Tijil (Dark Don Racing) timed 23.02.750 minutes in 15 laps to seal victory. Saran Vikram (Momentum Sports) finished second in 23:03.725, while Dhruv Goswami (MSport) took third in 23:04.504.
Though Tijil started second on the grid, he had no problem in surging ahead courtesy his skills and dedication. He has been in dominant form, after having finished runner-up in the 2023 season.
His rise from the ranks of karting five years ago to racing cars in the LGB4 category has been marked by consistency this season, through all the rounds.
Conditions on Saturday were tricky after showers and receding light. That the top three raced close made for good viewing.
On Sunday there are two more races, though in aggregate points, Tijil is poised to seal victory.
