The round 2 of the FIM Asia Supercross Championship was held at the purpose built Supercross Circuit located at the Kaveh Industrial Park Zone, Iran between June 25 & 27, 2008.
Competitors from Iran, India, Srilanka, UAE, Mongolia, Indonesia, Philipines fought for the honors
From India we had C.S. Santosh and Veer Patel taking part in this round.
In the qualifying session, C.S. Santosh proved his mettle and qualified 2nd with a timing of 1:16.545.
In Moto1, Santosh who was riding a Suzuki (Comp.No.26), unfortunately had a fall and had to settle for the 13th place. However, he was quick to recover, and finished a creditable 4th in the second moto. Overall, C.S. Santosh achieved 7th position in Round 2
Santosh said ” I had a great qualifying….I was a bit upset when I could not repeat my qualifying performance in moto1, but was determined to go all out in Moto2. I am happy with my 4th place in Moto2 but would have been more happy, if I had been on the podium….but I think this is the first time that India had achieved this feat”
Veer Patel, qualified 13th. In Moto1 he finished 11th, but DNF in Moto2.
Like many other Indian Motorsport riders, they are also on the look out for sponsors, to keep the Indian Flag flying high.
