It was part two of a race that had been red-flagged earlier after a crash.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Team-mate Efr\u00e9n V\u00e1zquez (26, from Spain) added to the Mahindra team\u2019s celebrations by claiming two points, finishing 14th.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The sprint race came about after the planned 18-lapper was red-flagged before the required two-thirds distance had been completed. Positions counted only for grid places in the restart, over just five laps of the fine new 5.5-km circuit outside the Texas state capital of Austin.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Oliveira had already improved by pulling through to eighth from 18th on the grid. His race was a thriller, as he forced his way through a close pack battling for fifth. In the end he swooped through to lead them all. \u201cI just attacked,\u201d he explained.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>V\u00e1zquez had also moved up from 15th to 14th for the restart; and held his position.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The all-independent new Mahindra MGP3O has made its mark on the competitive Moto3\u2122 class in just two races, six months after it first took to the drawing board. In Qatar the white-and-red racers were seventh and tenth.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Now the squad is looking forward to the Spanish GP at Jerez in two weeks, where the twisty circuit promises much.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By ISN<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai: Fresh from a best-ever result in the opening round at Qatar for the only Indian team in Grand Prix motorcycle racing, the all-new Mahindra MGP3O went two better at a tense two-part race at the Circuit of The Americas in Texas, when Portuguese rider Miguel Oliveira claimed a superlative fifth place finish on Sunday.&nbsp;The [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-out-of-box"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fifth place finish takes Mahindra Racing to new heights - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
