Shreyas (220 points) and Jinendra (213) finished first and second in the boys category, respectively. The pair will compete in the World Finals against the winners of their respective National series, which are held in 15 countries.

However, 12-year-old Shreyas staged an incredible comeback, winning four of the next five races, including a double in Round-4 last weekend, to finish first in the Series points table with 220 points. Jinendra, who barely made it through the final weekend, finished with 213 points, placing him well ahead of third-placed Nandanan Mahendran of Chennai (153).
