Sri Lanka´s premier racing team, EZY Racing started their 2011
campaign on a very strong note with 3 of their 4 drivers who
participated in the very first night race held in Kandy, storming their
way through to win their respective races. ´Speed at Night´, a unique
road race which was held under lights, was organized by the Kandy Off
Road and Adventure Club together with the Sri Lanka Motor Cycle Club.
EZY Racing, the reigning Rally Champions for 2010, displayed their true prowess in this, their very first race for the year with Rizvi Farouk and Shafraz Junaid, starting the Mclarens Formula Event at 1st and 2nd on the grid, and going on to finish in the same order. This provided EZY Racing an outstanding start for the night, unfortunately Junaid who finished 2nd was disqualified later on the grounds of a rolling start.
EZY Racing´s new kid on the block Mudith Madumarachchi, making his debut race for the team in the Standard Mini up to 1000CC category, was also in peak condition and completed a faultless race, yet again leading from the front to convert his Friday´s pole position into victory. This was indeed a great start for Madumarachchi, considering the fact that this was his very first time on the track with the EZY Racing team who have great plans in store for this promising young driver.
With 2 wins already in the bag, Sajaad Zuhair, the 2010 Foxhill winner in the Group SL-H up to 1600CC category, provided the icing on the cake by finishing as the undisputed winner of his class. Zuhair who was showing all signs of winning the class from the free practice session, managed to be on pole in Friday´s qualifying race and was simply untouchable from the outset, finishing well ahead of his competitors.
Computer manufacturer EZY, who entered the motor racing arena in 2009, has become a firm fixture on the racing track within a remarkably short period, primarily due to their professional approach to motor racing.
