Rider Sarath Kumar, having recovered from a knee injury, scored his first points in the Asia Road Racing Championship finishing 15th in the first of the two SuperSport 600cc races in Sentul, Indonesia, over the weekend.
Having qualified 20th for the first race on Saturday, Chennai-based Sarath of Ten10 Racing and WOW Digit HK, gained places in the wake of retirements of riders ahead of him and finished 15th which won him his first point in the ARRC this season.
In the second race, Sarath — riding for T-Pro Yuzy NTS Honda Racing — ended 17th to complete a satisfying weekend after missing the first two rounds in Malaysia and Thailand.
Summing up the weekend, Sarath said, “I am happy with the progress and this is the first time I was able to ride the bike to its full potential. I am still having problems with my knee which bothers me towards the end of the races, after about 10 laps. However, it is a good sign that the recovery is happening.
“I have managed to get closer to the experienced guys, about five seconds off pace in my first full race weekend. I think I will be in good shape for the India round in October. We have already planned a few training methods to improve my confidence and performance on the bike as from this point, it is about learning the nuances and tricks of riding a bigger bike which is not the same as riding a 250cc,” he added.
