2025 LGB F4 champion Dhruvh Goswami

The 2025 JK Tyre National Racing Championship (JKNRC) concluded with the third and final round held at Coimbatore’s Kari Motor Speedway. 18-year-old Dhruvh Goswami defeated Diljith TS to win the LGB F4 title, while Anish Shetty secured his second Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup title victory.

Heading into the finale, Goswami was trailing championship leader Diljith TS. But he delivered a dominant performance, winning three of the four races, to secure the 2025 LGB F4 title. Race 4, in particular, was a highlight. After starting from P7 on the grid, Goswami took the lead early in the race, but lost it briefly to Ruhaan Alva before regaining it to take a dominant win.

Monith Kumaran, meanwhile, won the LGB F4 rookie title.

F4 India

Formula 4 India

The last two rounds of the 2025 F4 India championship were supposed to be held on the new street tracks in Goa and Navi Mumbai. However, the debut of both tracks has been pushed to next year. As a result, Round 3 of the championship was held alongside the JKNRC finale over the weekend.

France’s Sachel Rotge capitalised on a late mistake made by leader Shane Chandaria to win Race 1. Chandaria bounced back the next day, though, taking a comfortable win in Race 3.

South African driver Luviwe Sambudla picked up his first win of the season, converting pole position into victory in Race 2.

Levitas Cup

Maruti Suzuki Ignis Levitas Cup

The Levitas Cup, featuring the race-spec Maruti Ignis, joined the JKNRC with the aim to bridge the gap between entry-level karting and top-level professional racing at a more affordable price. The competition is divided into two categories – the Rookies class for those who haven’t secured a podium finish in a national car championship and the Gentlemen class for more experienced racers.

Jai Prashanth Venkat dominated in the inaugural season, taking home the title in the Gentlemen class. Balaji Raju was crowned champion in the Rookies class.

Anish Shetty has been the clear favourite to clinch his second Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup title this season. Victory in Race 1 meant that he wrapped up the Professionals title with a race to spare. But that doesn’t mean he took it easy; Shetty returned on Sunday to win the final race as well.

Bryan Nicholas bagged the Amateurs title after a pair of P2 results at the finale.
