Rahil Pillarisetty and Savion Sabu hogged the limelight with contrasting victories in the two premier Pro-Stock categories as the Rolon Round of the MRF MMSC FMSCI Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship concluded at the Kari Motor Speedway here on Sunday.

While 27-year-old Rahil (RACR Castrol Power1) fought off a strong challenge to win the Pro-Stock 301-400cc Open race, Savion swept to a comfortable victory, his second of the weekend, for Mad Rabbit Racing team.

Savion’s teammate Varun Patil topped the Stock 301-400cc (Novice) race for his second win in four starts this season. Raj Kumar took the honours in the Super Stock 165cc Intermediate as he led a 1-2 finish for Motul Sparks Racing with Mohamed Samrul Zubair in tow.

Meanwhile, Daniel Lalhriatkima and Johring Warisa scripted history of sorts by delivering a first double podium for Yakuza Racing India, which was formed only this year. Daniel finished first and Johring came in third behind Hari Haran (RACR Castrol Power1) in the Stock 165cc (Novice) race.

The results (provisional – all 10 laps unless mentioned): Pro-Stock 301-400cc Open: Race-2: 1. Rahil Pillarisetty (RACR Castrol Power 1) (12mins, 06.332secs); 2. Chiranth Vishwanath (Petronas TVS Racing) (12:08.080); 3. Rajini Krishnan (RACR Castrol Power 1) (12:08.813).
