Vento Cup round two coming up
The debut season of Volkswagen’s Vento Cup kicked off last month and it’s already time for the second round of the championship. The one-make racing series has 22 Vento sedans on the grid and the 2015 championship has four rounds, with two races at each race weekend.
The second round of Vento Cup will be held at the Kari Motor Speedway near Coimbatore from 4th to 6th September. After the first round, the championship is being led by Karminder Pal Singh who earned 100 points from the third place finish in race one and victory in race two. Singh is followed closely by Anindith Reddy Konda who stood second in the first two races while veteran race driver Sailesh Bolisetti is third in the championship with 90 points.
“I am very happy to see the close competition at the top of the championship table already after the first round of the season. This lays a good foundation for racing going into the second round of the season. Even the young, rookie drivers are adjusting quickly to the world of racing with such a steep learning curve. Now that the drivers have got a good feel of the race cars over an entire competitive weekend, it will be interesting to see how far the drivers take their aggression at the Round 2 of the season”, said Sirish Vissa, Head of Volkswagen Motorsport India.
