Chennai, Sep 25 (IANS): The wet conditions following heavy showers, caught out most drivers, but S. Narendran (TVS Girling) and Sailesh Bolisetti (RAD Racing) survived to win the opening runs in the Formula LGB Swift and Super Saloon classes of the fourth round of the JK Tyre National Racing Championship, here Saturday.

Narendran displayed a lot of maturity and patience as he bided his time to move from third to first in the seventh of the 10-lap race.

The experienced Narendran slipped through on the inside at Turn-2 to get past leader Ajay Kini (Wallace Sports) under braking and then held on to the lead in a close battle. On lap-5, Narendran had got past pole-sitter Deepak.

Meanwhile, Bolisetti, the 21-year old from Vizag, yet again demonstrated his dominance in the Super Saloons as he won from start to finish, sparing nearly six seconds to second-placed Raj Virudhan (Prime Racing).

The afternoon showers threw the schedule out of gear while leading to postponement of races in other classes that will now be run tomorrow.

The results:

Formula LGB Swift (Race 1, 10 laps): S Narendran (TVS Girling) 1 (20mins, 16.238secs); Ajay Kini (Wallace Sports) 2 (20:17.497); R Deepak (Mars Racing) 3 (20:24.193).

Super Saloons (Race 1, 9 laps): Sailesh Bolisetti (RAD Racing) 1 (18:33.249); Raj Virudhan (Prime Racing) 2 (18:39.864); Siddharth Kishore (Performance Racing) 3 (18:45.383).
