In a dramatic turn of events, Chittesh Manmody from Kolhapur and representing Team Mohite was penalised after he won the race in the seniors section while veteran Ameya Walawalkar, who finished second, was elevated to the top position in the JK Tyre Rotax Mojo Max Karting Challenge on Sunday.

Earlier, Chittesh had won the race comfortably and results were declared accordingly. However, following an enquiry by the Stewards, Chittesh was penalized for "deliberately braking", thus causing Amit Ahuja, who was following close behind, to go off the track while trying to avoid a collision and out of the race. Chittesh was docked nine places.
