The fight for 2ndand 3rd spot was exciting as it was on till the last corner of final lap.Prashanth snatched an excellent podium by overtaking his brother Karthik Tharani in the middle of the race and overtook Yatin to finish second. He was followed by Karthik, Angad and Rahil.

I am looking forward to the last round here at Buddh International Circuit,” said Jeffrey Kruger Prithviraj Siddappa, Head of Motorsports, said, “The penultimate round of 2013 Volkswagen Polo R Cup made for a thrilling weekend with not 2 but 3 races with the clear domination from South African driver Jeffery Kruger.
