Rajiv aims for another top 10 finish in ARRC final round
India’s Rajiv Sethu will be hoping to end the Asian Road Racing Championship 2019 on a high and add to his points tally in the seventh and final round, beginning at the Chang International Circuit here on Friday.
Buriram (Thailand) : India's Rajiv Sethu will be hoping to end the Asian Road Racing Championship 2019 on a high and add to his points tally in the seventh and final round, beginning at the Chang International Circuit here on Friday.
Participating in the Asia Production 250cc class, the Idemitsu Honda Racing driver has so far collected 33 points, which includes a top-seven finish in the third round at the Chang Circuit.
Sethu, in his third season in the ARRC, became the first Indian rider to finish in the top 7, with a new fastest lap time (1:53:573).
He is already in the top 16 from among the 40 riders in the AP 250cc class – which is an improvement from his overall 27th place in 2018.
The 21-year old Chennai-based Sethu is keen to secure another top 10 finish this weekend as well as the fight for the top honours in the category continues.
In 2018, he scored his maiden international points here and will be hoping the venue proves lucky again.
"Chang International Circuit is like a second home to me. This circuit has brought good fortune for my team and me in the past. I'm much more confident of my riding style here," he said ahead of the final round.
"This weekend is about being in prime form, strategically moving ahead on the grid and avoiding any riding mistakes which can push me back.
While Thai riders have the home-ground advantage here and 6 wildcards will heat up the competition even more, my aim is to be in top 10 here," Sethu added.
