Rounds Ashwin Sundar declared FRC Champion ; under scrutiny for 3 races in 2010
The Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India, today officially declared
Ashwin Sundar as the Formula Rolon Chevrolet Champion Driver for the year 2009.
In the final round of the JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship, held at the Chennai Race Track on 4th Oct 2009, the Stewards excluded
Ashwin Sundar, for 'dangerous driving' in both races of the finals (round 6).
Ashwin Sundar prefered an appeal to the Indian Motor Sports Appeal Court (IMSAC), the internal tribunal for settlement of any disputes arising out of motorsport in India. The IMSAC Tribunal which heard the appeal, confirmed the decision of 'exclusion' of Ashwin Sundar from Race No.2 of the round 6, but decreed that the penalty of exclusion is disproporationate for the incident in Race No.1. and accordingly set aside the same. However, the IMSAC had issued a 'suspended sentence of suspension' on Ashwin for 3 races in 2010 season. This would effectively mean that Ashwin Sundar is under scrutiny and if found to repeat the offence, the Sentence of Suspension would be invoked.
Due to the above IMSAC decision,
Ashwin Sundar has been reinstated in the 3rd position in Race 1 of Round 6 and accordingly has a total of 64 points in the overall championship classification.
Saran Vikram who had been the unfortunate victim in both the races had to content himself with the runner up title as he also has 64 points, but lose to Ashwin in the number of first places, applying the tie-breaker rule. Gaurav Dalal, who was the provisional champion, after the Stewards decision, finishes third with 63 points.
