MRF Challenge poised for exciting finish in last round

CHENNAI: The 2018-19 season of MRF Challenge is returning home to the MMRT here this weekend with the third and final round of the winter series.

The previous two rounds in Dubai (November) and Bahrain (December) showcased the emergence of Belgian Max Defourny and British girl Jamie Chadwick in the Formula 2000 series. The two 20-year-olds together have won six of the 10 races yet with Defourny leading the championship with 201 points followed by Chadwick (183) and German teenager Andreas Estner (124).

However, there is plenty at stake in the final five races this weekend.

The weekend will also witness Round 1 of the 2019 Indian National Racing Championship (Formula 1600), saloon cars in three categories (including Indian Touring Cars), and Formula LGB 1300.
