Leaders Shrachi Rarh Royal Bengal Tigers will be going toe-to-toe with Goa Aces JA Racing for the team honors as the 2024 Indian Racing Festival reaches a grand climax with the fifth and final round at the Kari Motor Speedway circuit in Coimbatore this weekend.

With just eight points separating the top two in the provisional standings and a maximum of 54 on offer across the double-header in the Indian Racing League, the stakes are high for both teams.

“Our goal with the Indian Racing Festival has always been to bring world-class motorsport to India, and this weekend’s grand finale at Kari Motor Speedway is a proud testament to that vision. With the championship race so tightly contested, we can expect some of the most thrilling and close finishes yet,” said Akhilesh Reddy, Chairman and Managing Director, RPPL.

“As we look ahead, we’re excited to expand the sport to new cities and explore innovative experiences like night street racing, ensuring that the IRF continues to grow and connect with motorsport fans across the country,” he added.

The Goa Aces, riding on their fine performances with their leading drivers Sohil Shah and Raoul Hyman are fast closing gaps with Shrachi Rarh Royal Bengal Tigers, who have been on the top of the table since Round 1 of the league.

Chennai Turbo Riders, despite winning four of the eight races, are provisionally third on the leaderboard having dropped a lot of points midway through the season followed by Speed Demons Delhi, Bangalore Speedsters and Blackbirds Hyderabad complete the Championship table respectively.
