MUMBAI, April 1 -- Rising Indian racer Kiaan Shah of Rayo Racing made an impressive international debut in Round 2 of the Senior Category of the IAME Asia Series and IAME Thailand Series, securing a double podium finish. The 15-year-old from Mumbai entered the weekend after a challenging build-up, having fractured his arm in a snowboarding accident in late December. The injury forced him to miss two months of testing and racing. Undeterred, Kiaan stepped up from the Junior category into the highly competitive Senior field, which featured a World Champion and multiple Asian and European Champions. Kiaan impressed in the heats with his speed and composure but could only manage the 14th position in the grid for the Final Race. He moved up steadily and finished a highly commendable fifth place, just 1.6 seconds behind reigning Asian Champion Yu Ka Po of Hong Kong. It was good enough to fetch him a place on the podium as the first five finishers are celebrated as winners in this competition. With the IAME Asia Series doubling up as the Thailand Series, Kiaan moved up to the third place for the second runners-up trophy as two of the racers had not entered for the Thai Series. He finished behind Singapore National Champion Dillan Tan and eight-time Thai Champion Toby Gale.
