All the action from Indians and Southeast Asians in global motorsport, this week.

The Trans-Anatolia Rally

Harith Noah

Starting off the TransAnatolia rally strong, Harith maintained P2 overall in Stage 1 until his bike went off a cliff and he was unable to get it back up. Fortunately, he managed to finish that stage and move onto Stage 2 where he was P1 overall. Stages 3 and 4 were learning curves, with Harith finishing P2 and P4 respectively. At the end of stage 6, he was just a second off from winning the stage after missing a waypoint by a few meters.

Formula 4 : Australian Championship

Kai Daryanani

A stellar weekend for Kai at the Sepang International Circuit for Round 4 of the F4 Australian Championship, he qualified P5 and P1 in the two sessions. This led to a points finish in all three races after he crossed the chequered flag in P5 for Race 1 and stood on the podium in P3 for Race 2. Winning Race 3, he returned to the podium again, this time on the top step.

GB3

Adi Kulkarni

@hillspeedracing

A decent weekend for Adi, he qualified P14 and P15 after the last lap time was deleted due to track limits violation. He managed to gain a few places, finishing Race 1 in P16, Race 2 in P14, and Race 3 in P10.

Atiqa Asif Mir

A roller coaster of a weekend for Atiqa, it started off decent with a P15 qualifying despite having the pace for Top 5. She had to retire from Heat 1 after an engine failure during the formation lap. Not letting this upset her, she did gain 5 places in Heat 2 and took the chequered flag in P15. However, a post race penalty pushed her down to P14. In Heat 3, she was involved in a collision that pushed her from P10 to P17. She finished Pre Finals in P14 after starting in P19 and gained 9 places in the Finals to finish P26.
