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.

The MIC hosted the first two races of the IRF 2024 on August 24 and 25. 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.
