KOCHI: Team Dark Don had a fruitful outing on Day 2 with TS Diljith and Tijil Rao picking up wins in the LGB Formula 4 class in the second round of the 24th JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore on Sunday.
After a forgettable Saturday, Dark Don bounced back strongly to wrest the top three slots on the podium in both the LGB Formula 4 races. While it was Ahura Racing’s Amir Sayed who notched up his maiden win on Saturday, it was the turn of TS Diljith who went on to claim the top place on the podium in the first race. The Thrissur native had to fight off stiff competition from championship leader Vishnu Prasad, who trailed him throughout the race.
