JK Tyre-MMS Karting Championship Begins

Last month the first and second rounds of the JK TYRE-MMS Rotax Max Kart Open 2014 were flagged off at the Kart Center, Lahari Resorts, in Hyderabad. Over 38 young karters from across the country participated in the event and they battled it out in three different categories – the Micro Max (7-12 years old), Junior Max (13 -16 years old) and Senior Max (16 years and above) categories. The first round was held on Saturday May 10th, and there was some fantastic racing. At the end of the day’s proceedings, Nayan Chatterjee, Ricky R Donison and Yash Aradhya topped the first round in the Senior Max, Junior Max and Micro Max categories respectively. It was nearly a clean sweep by Bangalorean Yash Aradhya from Meco Racing as he won four out of five races to top the Micro Max table with 48 points. The Senior Max category saw a similar clean sweep as pole sitter Chatterjee from Mumbai’s Rayo Racing had a pretty easy run and won all five races of the day. The second round was a repeat of the first day as Yash Aradhya, Ricky R Donison and Nayan Chatterjee emerged as the toppers in their respective categories. Donison from Bangalore’s BPC Racing won the Junior Max category in style, as he won the first four races of the day but was beaten by Akash Gowda of Meco Racing in the fifth race. After the first two rounds, it is Aradhya on top of the Micro Max Championship standing with 98 points, Donison on top in the Junior Max with 97 points, and  Chatterjee on top of the Senior Max with 96 points.
