Philippos Matthai of Delhi tops INAC Rd 2 with four wins, Double for Mysuru's Syed Salman
Chennai, June 15 (UNI) New Delhi's Philippos Matthai brought into play all his vast experience and undoubted driving skills to win outright in four categories in the Vamcy Merla Channai Gravel Fest which doubled up as the second round of Octane Pits FMSCI Indian National Autocross Championship 2025 at the Madras International Circuit, here on Sunday. Matthai, driving his INRC 2 Polo car, blitzed quality fields in the premier INAC 1 and INAC 2 categories in both of which he won the Open and 2000 classes to stamp his authority on the event as he also put in the fastest time of one minute, 38.880 seconds over the 1.8 Kms track which was a mix of dirt, gravel and tarmac. The Delhi ace was in a league of his own as he held off his arch-rivals who included top guns Syed Salman (Mysuru), Arnav Pratap Singh (Gurugram), former National Rally champion Chetan Shivram (Bengaluru) and Vaibhav Marathe (Ponda) all of whom finished on podium in the four classes. Reflecting on his performance, Matthai said: 'I am very happy to have won in four classes. We achieved what we had set out to do. The track was a bit tricky in the early part with water puddles in some of the corners after overnight rains. However, the track dried up and became a bit rough in the latter half of the day. I didn't participate in the first round in Chikmagaluru last month. So, it was a good result here. I now look forward to the next round in Coimbatore.' Meanwhile, Syed Salman also enjoyed a fruitful outing as he topped the INAC 2 Up to 1650cc and Up to 1450cc classes for a fine double. Davangere's Shivani Pruthvi won in the Ladies class ahead of Chennai's Nivetha Jessica and Anusha NS from Bengaluru, while Gowtham CP (Chikmagaluru) topped the INAC 3 Open category. Hyderabad's Sundeep K, who finished eighth in the INAC 1 Unrestricted Open category, was adjudged 'Best Novice' driver. The results: INAC 1: Unrestricted Open: 1.

Nearly 5,000 will train at Washtenaw Community College (WCC). The influx of trades professionals brings not only advanced training to the region but a $23 million boost to the local economy. Plasterers and cement masons; roofers; ironworkers; electrical workers; and plumbers and pipefitters will train with their respective trade organizations each for a week from June through August. The 'Train the Trainer' partnerships bring union members from throughout the United States and countries such as Canada, Ireland, Australia and beyond. Through a multi-year program, trainers work to enhance their skills and safety practices and then go back to teach fellow trades workers in their organizations. A new report from Destination Ann Arbor revealed that three of the major unions impacted the local businesses, restaurants and economies of Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County by $23 million last summer. Union members and their families booked nearly 21,000 nights of hotel rooms and spent nearly $18 million during their stay. This year's summer of training kicked off Monday with approximately 120 members of the Operative Plasterers' and Cement Masons' International Association on campus.

Highlights of the week include Industry Day, in which hundreds of industry leaders and vendors are hosted on campus, as well as the UA's International Apprentice Contest (INAC). Union trainers typically spend a week on campus enrolled in hands-on instruction to stay ahead of the curve in cutting-edge skills and technological developments within their industries. Some also return at various times throughout the year for specific training. Additionally, union members may also enroll as WCC students to pursue a certificate or associate degree. Destination Ann Arbor will host downtown Ann Arbor block parties July 30 for the electrical workers and August 11 for the United Association.
