THE KING IS BACK
Jordan King made an emphatic return to the top step of the podium in Race 2 of The MRF Challenge 2012 at The Buddh International Circuit today. Starting again from pole position, he once more got out–dragged into the first corner, this time by Jon Lancaster. Jordan fought back very hard and after a battle that lasted a few laps, he managed to pull off an impressive overtaking manoeuvre, retaking the lead, and then wasn’t challenged again for the rest of the race. Jon Lancaster tried his utmost to get back at Jordan, but ran wide and hit the barrier, ending his race challenge.
The battle for second place raged on with Luciano Bacheta & Conor Daly fighting tooth and nail right up to the last corner of the last lap. Luciano got the better of Conor in the end, and they finished the race in second and third places respectively.
Alice Powell once more just missed out on a podium finish finishing fourth with Matthew Mason in 5th and Hector Hurst in 6th place.
Parthiv Sureshwaren was once more the best placed Indian driver, and after a race long battle with Tom Gladdis, finished the race in 10th place.
Jordan leads the points table with 48 points, followed by Conor Daly with 44 points, and Luciano Bacheta with 39 points.
The next round of the MRF Challenge 2012 will be held at The Buddh International Circuit from 30November – 02 December.
