Talented Ishaan Madesh began his 2023 campaign in style bagging a double to help his team Peregrine Racing dominate the proceedings in the first round of the FMSCI National Karting Championship 2023. In the Karting Nationals, Adithiya Arvind and Varun Hari Praveen shared the honours in the senior class while Darsh Nawalgaria and Rivaan Dev Preetham won a race each in the Micro Max classes. While Peregrine Racing swept both the Senior Max and Junior Max classes, MSport took the honours in the MicroMax classes. Fifty-eight karts took part in the Nationals, a record in the last few years at the Rotax Nationals. Peregrine Racing’s Adithiya Arvind, the 15-year 11th-grade student SBOA Junior College could only take a 5th place in the Pre-Final but went on to beat a strong field to clinch the top place on the podium in the Finals beating Mumbai’s Adithya Patnaik of Rayo Racing to second. In the Pre-Finals, it was Varun Hari Praveen, also of Peregrine Racing who took the victory beating teammate Akshat Mishra. Abhay M of Birel Art came third. Ishaan Madesh, a multiple National champion, who missed last year’s title by a whisker, began in whirlwind fashion bagging both the point-scoring races, the Finals and Pre-Finals as he launched his 2023 campaign on a winning note.
