Thrilling Finale at JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship

The 28th JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship concluded in spectacular fashion at the Kari Motor Speedway on Sunday, wrapping up a weekend filled with adrenaline, emotion, and the crowning of new champions across multiple categories. The spotlight shone brightest on Dhruvh Goswami of MSport, who delivered a stunning performance to clinch the coveted LGB Formula 4 title. Entering the Round 3 finale trailing championship leader Diljith TS of Dark Don Racing, the 18-year-old Class 12 student from St Joseph’s, Bengaluru rose to the challenge with remarkable composure and speed.
Goswami won three of the four races over the weekend, including a memorable triumph in the 20-lap final race on Sunday. Starting seventh on a reverse grid—three spots behind Diljith—he showcased patience and strategic brilliance. After briefly losing the lead to teammate Ruhaan Alva, he reclaimed it with authority to seal the championship. Reflecting on the decisive race and his duel with Diljith, Goswami said, “It was going to be a long race, I knew I required to be patient.” Monith Kumaran Srinivasan of Ahura Racing took home the Rookie title in the LGB Formula 4 class.
