Bengaluru’s Tijil Rao (Momentum Motorsports) came up with a stunning drive to win Race-2 in the Formula LGB 1300 category after starting from P14 in the first round on the opening day of the MRF MMSC FMSCI Indian National Car Racing Championship 2023 at the Madras International Circuit (MIC) here on Saturday.
Tijil (20), a Business Management student, made up for a retirement in Race-1 when he came into contact with another competitor. Starting from P14 on the reverse grid, Tijil scythed through the field for a tremendous victory.
“Unfortunately, I was involved in an incident in the first race and so, had to make up for that in the next race. It was fun as I managed to overtake all the 13 cars in front of me and win. I should have more such performances,” said Tijil.
