The fourth round of the MRF MMSC FMSCI Indian National Motorcycle Championship, with 152 entries, will commence at the Madras International Circuit here on Friday. After three rounds so far, the titles are up for grabs in all the National and One-Make Championships (Petronas TVS and Idemitsu Honda India Talent Cup) categories.
The premier Pro-Stock 301-400cc Open class has witnessed fierce battles with Hyderabad’s Rahil Pillarisetty (RACR Castrol Power1) on a Yamaha R3 and Pune teenager and defending champion Sarthak Chavan (Petronas TVS Racing) involved in a virtual slugfest. Both have won three races with 27-year-old Pillarisetty ahead by just nine points.
The intensity of competition is no less in other categories where the championship leaders will have no respite in their bid to protect their positions.
Two Bengaluru riders, 18-year-old Savion Sabu and his Mad Rabbit Racing team-mate, Varun Patil, 31, head the Pro-Stock 165-200cc Open and Stock 301-400cc (Novice) categories, respectively.
