Akhil Rabindra from Bangalore finished third.

Race 3 of the class was a sheer display of speed and clean racing, while Khushlani continued his domination, the race was much closer than the previous ones.

Finishing second, Chennai boy Vishnu Prasad had a few nervous moments with Arjun Maini from Bangalore right on his tail, eventually pipping Maini by less than half a second.

In Race 1 of the Polo R Cup Rahil Noorani, the fastest driver on track during the qualifying started first and held his position till the chequered flag finishing with a total time of 14:26.151.
