With points system being doubled from last round, the gap between drivers is increasing, making the remaining rounds very competitive and crucial.

Closing in fast at the second spot in the drivers' championship standings, Mihir, displayed some brilliant driving skills too and won the action packed Race Two in Round Three, ending the weekend on a high note.

"The drivers have had some good track time at the MMRT for the first time in TSI Race Polo and their feedback has been very encouraging. The racing has been very close and fair, which is what we have been promoting amongst these young drivers. The weather has always been a challenge here but it is great to see the sheer enthusiasm brought by the Volkswagen Motorsport team. I am eagerly waiting for the race weekend to begin and I would like to wish all the drivers best of luck for a tough battle ahead",said Prithviraj Siddappa, Head of Volkswagen Motorsport India.
