PETALING JAYA: South African Darryn Binder ended his first race for Petronas Sprinta Racing on the podium after finishing third at a windy Losail International Circuit in Doha. A perfect start to the race saw Binder take the holeshot and maintain his lead throughout the opening lap. With the slipstream effect on the start-finish causing the lead to change hands almost every lap, Binder battled hard to be in contention for the victory throughout the race. “To be on the podium in the first race of the season was exactly what I needed though. “What a great first weekend with the team and the Honda, I’m super happy and can’t thank the team enough, ” said Binder.
