‘Speed Runs’ organised by the Ceylon Motor Sports Club (CMSC) in collaboration with Mandarin Reid Advertising is the first ever e-racing championship to be held in Sri Lanka.

A special feature at Sunday was an open event with the participation of the x1 racing team from India. Karin Pradeshi took the top position with young Huzeifa Jafferjee coming in a close second. Indian racer Amit Kutti was third.

Round three of ‘Speed Runs’ will be held at Kzone Jaela in April and round four in the cool hills of Kandy in May.
