Round 3 of Indian Racing Festival 2024 shifts to Madras International Circuit from Coimbatore’s Kari Motor Speedway

The Indian Racing League (IRL) and Formula 4 Indian Championship (F4IC) will be back at the Madras International Circuit (MIC) for the third round of the Indian Racing Festival (IRF) 2024 on September 14 and 15.

The Kari Motor Speedway, which was supposed to host Round 3, has been replaced in the calendar with the MIC. The track in Coimbatore, however, has been announced as the venue for Round 4.

Track action is set to resume this weekend following a week’s break post the inaugural night-street race at the Chennai Formula Racing Circuit.

Jon Lancaster and Alister Yoong won Race 1 and Race 2 of the IRL, respectively, giving their teams an early lead in the championship. In the F4IC, Jaden Pariat won the opening race, followed by Hugh Barter who won the next two races.

“We are delighted to return to the Madras International Circuit for Round 3 of the Indian Racing Festival. The circuit was a fantastic host for Round 1 and It was a bonafide thrill to witness Jon Lancaster and Alister Yoong take top honours in the IRL and several youngsters shine in F4IC,” said Akhilesh Reddy, Chairman & Managing Director of Racing Promotions Pvt.
