Coimbatore: Ashwin Datta of Dark Don Racing emerged champion in the LGB Formula 4 category in the final round of the 25th JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship here on Sunday.
Ashwin won both the races at the Kari Motor Speedway as the curtain came down on the silver jubilee edition of the championship.
"This is probably the closest championship ever seen in 25 years. Going into the final race, only one point had separated the top two. I was leading comfortably and then the safety car came in. It slashed my lead and Arya (Singh) overtook. I did not give up, put my head down and gave my best. I would never forget this moment and this day in my entire life. I'm grateful to my whole team at Dark Don Racing for their consistent support throughout,” said Ashwin.
