Action from Indian Racing Festival in Coimbatore on Sunday

At the Kari Motor Speedway on Sunday, named after one of the pioneers of Indian racing, a lot of changes have taken place. No, not just cosmetic, but in the real sense.

The IRL cars under the franchise model is big stuff, and the hype is justified, with team owners also being famous, from Arjun Kapoor to John Abraham. And for the connoisseurs of racing, the show on view was enriching. As if by design, seasoned racer Raoul Hyman showed he was in a different league. Asa driver for the Goa Aces, he showed that experience would count as he clinched the race. More than Hyman exulting, it was his rivals who showered lavish praise on him. It included Shahan Ali Mohsin, who finished second.
