Meanwhile, his teammate Senhil Kumar made a spectacular recovery after starting in 7th place, only finishing in Round 2.

Honda Racing finished ARRC in 10th place on the leaderboard.

Speaking about his performance, Rajiv Sethu said: “Today is the last race and I have no choice but to give my best. With wind and rainy weather, all of our ratios and math have changed. My focus is on not rushing but maintaining a steady position in the race. From my previous training and experience, I overcame all the challenges and earned points and places for the team. Bringing all the knowledge home, I will practice more and create new strategies to mark another achievement for the team.”

Speaking at the end of the season, Senthil Kumar said: “It was a difficult and exciting race for me. Unfavorable weather created obstacles for all riders. My agenda is to avoid any mistakes and stay on track to win points for the team. I am satisfied with my performance today because I was able to compete well against all the challenges as well as other experienced riders. We will be back next season with enhanced strategies for better results.”
