Coimbatore : Hyderabad’s Anindith Reddy threw the Euro JK 16 championship battle wide open by winning both his races in the third and penultimate round of the 19th JK Tyre-FMSCI National Racing Championship here at the Kari Motor Speedway on the first day of the race weekend.
There were no such surprises in LGB Formula 4 and JK Touring Cars, with race leaders Vishnu Prasad and Asish Ramaswamy winning their respective categories as expected.
Twenty-six-year-old Anindith exhibited pace, skill and determination all through the day, jumping to number three in the tussle for the Euro JK 16 crown. He has 58 points now and two more races to go through on Sunday to set himself up for striking gold in final round at the Buddh International Circuit next month.
He began on the wrong foot in the qualifying rounds, though, beaten to the pole by Mohammed Nalwalla. But he was quick to assert his supremacy,.
