Annite alumnus Imraz Fayroze cruised to victory at the 2022 Katukurunda Circuit Race, garnering yet another shield for his ever-expanding trophy cabinet.
The competition was held earlier this month at the Katukurunda Air Force Station and was organized by Sri Lanka Automobile Sports (SLAS), the governing body for motorsport in Sri Lanka. Imraz competed under SL-A Mini 7 Class.
During the selection phase, Imraz encountered an unexpected incident where his car was overturned. Each player is allocated 8 rounds during this phase and grid position for the final is awarded based on the fastest time recorded by the players in all of their laps. While all other players enjoyed the luxury of 8 rounds, Imraz was only able to partake in one round as a result of this incident. However, the one round he took was good enough for him to secure second place on the grid. Why do you want eight rounds when you can do it in one round? He barely missed out on the first slot on the grid.
Undeterred, Imraz was able to fix his vehicle within 24 hours and made it to the finals. The tough incident he faced only made him stronger and even more resolved to win, being a testament to the true Annites spirit of Possumus. And courage like this deserves only one outcome, victory and that's exactly what he got in the end.
If you take a good look at his nifty car, you can see the 27-year-old proudly carries the College crest in every race he takes. Well, that's certainly one way to bring Annites glory.
And this is not the first time that Imraz got hold of this Championship trophy, he has already repeated it so many times in the past; more on that to come in another report, as it's bit too much to bring all in one.
This year our splendid Annites never fell short of bringing glory and Imraz's victory adds a fitting end as we approach the end of the year.
