Mumbai’s Nayan Chatterjee stayed right behind the leaders by making the podium thrice on Sunday, grabbing the second place twice and the third place.  Bryan Perera of Sri Lanka made the most of slightly wet conditions, to emerge the star, winning two Euro JK 18 races piping Chatterjee both times in the 21st JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore.

In the Race 2 and Race 3, Nayan stood second behind Perera. Chhaterjee finished third in Race 4 behind Chennai racers Karthik Tharani and Ashwin Datta.

Tharani, who won the laurels in this category on Saturday, however, made a valiant comeback in the fourth and final race to catch up with Perera as Round 1 came to a thrilling finish. Datta enjoyed a good run, finishing second in Race 4 and third in Race 2 and 3.

Datta has taken top position on the leader-board with 24 points, upstaging Perera and Tharani who have accumulated 23 points. Nayan has 20 points.
