due to a mechanical failure in his car and also met with an accident
during the competition, but he managed to finish the race in fourth
place, through determination. In this race also, he competed with
reputed drivers in the current field.
Romesh Goonawardena is a proud product of St. Peter's College

well-known Christian family of Gampaha. He always appreciates the
guidance and the support he received from his cousin Anil Senewiratne,
who is also a reputed driver.
Romesh is grateful too to his current employer, Abans Automobiles for

to his motor racing carrier.
Today, he fulfilled his childhood dream by being a Motor Racer and is
also looking forward to gain more experience in future to become a
household name.
