"I was second in the second race, unfortunately, one of the tires blew at 145 kmph then it was game over," Avik said after the race.
Despite not making it to the podium, Avik said it was a great experience racing in the Clio Cup.
"The experience was great. The race was great. It is a very competitive series similar as the Volkswagen Polo Car series. As I get more time in the car, I think I'll be untouchable," he concluded.
