F4 Indian Championship returns to Kari Motor Speedway for Round 2

The championship began at the same Coimbatore circuit last weekend, giving the drivers another immediate opportunity to build on their opening-round performances. Australian driver Aris Kyriakou leads the standings with 51 points, after recording three podium finishes in Round 1. South Africa's Luviwe Sambudla is second with 38 points, while Singaporean Aaron Mehta is third with 32 points.

Kyriakou produced the first Grand Slam of the 2026 Indian F4 season in Round 1 by securing pole position, winning Race 3, setting the fastest lap and leading every lap of the race.

The opening weekend also produced notable milestones for Mehta and Aaryan Narola. Mehta became the youngest driver in Indian F4 history to start from the front row, finish on the podium and lead a race. Narola became the championship's second-youngest race winner after claiming Race 2.

With the drivers returning to KMS only a week after Round 1, teams will have the opportunity to refine their car setups and race strategies based on their experience of the circuit. The second round is the second of six rounds scheduled in the F4 Indian Championship this season.

The Round 2 grid includes drivers representing teams such as Hyderabad Blackbirds, Chennai Turbo Riders, Kolkata Royal Tigers, Goa Aces JA Racing and Kichcha's Kings Bengaluru. Hyderabad Blackbirds will be represented by Bhuvan Bonu and Shravan Shanmugavel.

The Indian Racing Festival is powered by JK Tyre, with the races available through Star Sports platforms and JioHotstar.
