The cool and cloudy conditions in Coimbatore at the Kari Motor Speedway allowed the drivers to push their cars to the limits. Ishaan Dodhiwala stormed to a stunning pole position on his first fast lap itself and clocked a lap time of 1 min 10.087 sec. After having stayed out for less than half of the session, Ishaan returned to the pits confident of the performance he had already put in.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the first pole position of the season, Ishaan said, &ldquo;I had a good feeling right from the pre-season test into the free practice sessions. The car was feeling good and I was confident of the timing I had put in right at the beginning. The conditions were good for driving today and I hope it stays like this for the races tomorrow.&rdquo; He further added, &ldquo;My target for tomorrow will be to have a good start and carry the pace that I have had over the last week into the races.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While Ishaan was at his best, Keith Desouza went on to clinch the second position on the grid with a fastest lap time of 1 min 11.018 sec, 0.931 second behind pole-setter Ishaan. Coming in at a very close third position was last year&rsquo;s Vento Cup Runner-Up Karminder Pal Singh with a fastest lap time of 1 min 11.288 sec. Former Polo Cup driver Aditya Pawar, who returned to racing this season after a break of couple of years, clocked 1 min 11.608 sec to take the fourth spot.<\/p>\n<p>Jeet Jhabakh, who debuts this weekend with his first ever race tomorrow, put up an impressive lap of 1 min 11.628 sec to clinch the fifth spot on the grid. Talking about his experience in the Volkswagen Motorsport programme, Jeet said, &ldquo;The Vento Cup race cars are just great to drive. The pre-season test helped me a lot to understand the track, the car and the lines that I should be taking. Driver Coach Rayomand Banajee and fellow drivers played an instrumental role in making me understand the fine bits of getting faster out there. I am looking forward for a good set of races tomorrow.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-27475\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Volkswagen-Vento-Cup.jpg\" alt=\"Volkswagen Vento Cup\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Volkswagen-Vento-Cup.jpg 250w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Volkswagen-Vento-Cup-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Coimbatore:<\/strong> Competitive driving for the Volkswagen Motorsport India Vento Cup 2016 started off today with the Qualifying session for Race 1 of the weekend.
