Victory for Parth at Round 4 of Formula Pilota Championship

Five-time National Karting Champion Parth Ghorpade continued his great start to Round 4 of the 2012 Formula Pilota Championship by winning Race 1 at the Guangdong International Circuit. Starting P4, Parth had a terrific start and was able to make his way through to P1 at the end of the first lap and later went on to secure his maiden win in the Formula Pilota series. 

After winning his first race from 4th on the grid a delighted Parth commented, “This is probably the biggest achievement in my international racing career and hope it is the first of many. We have been close in many races but have not managed to step on the top step of the podium.”

With this win Parth has moved to third place in the overall championship standings despite finishing lower down the order in 8th place in Race 2, when he was hit from the back by Ren Nagabuchi in the first corner and had to recover after that.
