Ameya Walavalkar was crowed the champion of the 2012 Volkswagen Polo R Cup yesterday, the 3rd of December, 2012. The race ended with very close timings between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd position winners. Ameya finished the race with a timing of 14:48:856 with runner up Jeffery John Kruger 0.745 behind him followed by 3rd position winner Avdumber Hede just 1.276 behind the leader.

Ameya made a statement after being crowned the champion, “It is an unbelievable feeling to win the Volkswagen Polo R Cup. I would like to dedicate this victory to the entire Volkswagen Motorsport team who have worked closely with me to make this possible. I am overwhelmed to be at the BIC. Jeffrey set the benchmark yesterday but I was lucky to get ahead of Avdumber at the start which set the tone for the rest of the race. I kept up with Jeffrey and finally got past him on the last lap.”

Prithviraj Siddappa, Head of Volkswagen Motorsport India, said, “The Sidvin Festival of Speed is an important milestone in Indian motorsport and we are thrilled to be part of it. It is not often you get Volkswagen, JK Tyre and MRF Tyres under one roof for one spectacular event. This season has been fantastic and the season finale at the BIC is definitely the highlight of the year. I would like to congratulate Ameya for winning the Championship and no one can be more deserving than him. All the drivers have really improved drastically over the season and it is great for us to see that. Most importantly I would like to thank the Volkswagen Motorsport team for the endless hours they have spent in making this championship a success.”
