From ROC
Team India's Narain Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok are celebrating Friday night after they took victory in the inaugural ROC Asia competition, the first night of action of the 2012 Race Of Champions weekend.
On a hot evening at Bangkok's Rajamangala Stadium, Karthikeyan and Chandhok joined forces for Team India as both made their ROC debuts. The Indian duo topped the group stage with four wins out of six to go into the final as favourites.
There they faced Toyota Team Gazoo Japan, who were represented by Kazuya Ohshima and Takuto Iguchi, who were both class winners in this year's Nürburgring 24-Hour race. In the end the Indian duo prevailed, both winning their heats to take the title.
The performance earns Team India a place in tomorrow's ROC Nations Cup along with Team Thailand, who qualify as host nation.
