Ishaan, who missed the first round, outpaced points leader Saishiva Sankaran to win comfortably. Gyan held off points leader Bhuvan Bonu, who finished second, with Tanmay Kothari third. In the Formula LGB 1300 class, Viswas Vijayaraj notched his seventh consecutive win across three rounds. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both The Hindu and DT Next provide neutral, fact-driven race reports with near-identical results, timings and driver hometowns. The Hindu adds a junior category result (Nethan McPherson winning) and mentions Ishaan missed the first round, while DT Next adds a colourful pass-by description in the LGB 1300 race. The shared framing is a straightforward sports roundup with no political or ideological slant.
