Sethu manages second top 10 finish

Zhuhai circuit (China) : Rajiv Sethu of IDEMITSU Honda Racing India managed a second top 10 finish in Race 2 of Asia Production 250 class on Sunday at the Zhuhai Circuit here.

Sethu is the only Indian to have managed two top 10 finishes with the previous one coming in Race 1 of the Australian round earlier.

Despite a decent 14th position on the grid, a bad start dragged Sethu to 18th in lap 1.

Sethu continued his assault on the time sheets immediately and recorded his best ever lap time of 1:54:055 in lap 2.

By lap 3, Sethu gained five positions and was with the top bunch riding in with a gap of less than two seconds.

It was in lap 9 that Rajiv overtook the Malaysian trio of Nazirul Izzat, Muhammad Izam and Muzakkir Mohamed to finally finish inside Top 10.
