After Chennai racer Narain Shankar's dominating performance in round one on Saturday it was the turn of Delhi's Karthik Shankar of Team Wallace Sports to take the honours in race one of round two of the JK Tyre Junior Racing Cup at the Madras Motor Race Track at Irungattukottai yesterday.         Starting from pole in a grid of 16 Formula Maruti cars, Karthik Shankar shot into the lead and did lose momentum till the finish. Building up a good lead, Karthik took the chequered flag far ahead of his nearest competitor and team mate Rohit Khanna from Bangalore with a margin difference of almost 10 seconds.         In the second race, it was a repeat effort by Karthik Shankar as he came up with another scintillating effort to record his second win of the day. Sudarshan Rao's consistent performance helped him to annex the 2nd place while Rohit Khanna came third.
