CHENNAI, India – Hyderabad’s Anindith Reddy extended his domination in the MRF FF1600 class by completing a double as the fourth round of the MRF MMSC fmsci Indian National Racing Championship concluded at the MMRT track on Sunday.

With the fifth and concluding round to be run on September 16-17, Reddy, who leads Chennai’s Sandeep Kumar by 29 points, is well placed in the championship whose winner earns a ticket to the Mazda Road To Indy shootout in the United States later this year.

It was smooth sailing for Reddy (pictured, center, with Korada, left, and Kumar) in both races today as he put in a flawless performance to destroy the opposition as he more than made up for a disappointing outing on Saturday when he finished fifth after being forced to pit early in the race for repairs on the nose cone.

Saturday’s race turned out to be disappointing, especially after pole-sitter and championship leader Reddy pitted at the end of Lap 1 to repair a damaged nose cone following a contact with Kumar at the start of the race. 

Reddy, on rejoining the race, finished a lap down in fifth while Sandeep won untroubled, leaving Chennai’s Chetan Korada and Kolkata schoolboy Arya Singh to scrap for the other two podium spots.

Provisional Results (all 15 laps):
MRF FF1600 (Race 1): 1. Sandeep Kumar (Chennai), 15:01.880; 2. Chetan Korada (Chennai), 15:10.711 3. Arya Singh (Kolkata), 15:11.709.
