EVERYONE LOVES TO RIDE ON A CLOSED circuit, be it a racetrack or a go-kart track. All forms of circuit riding are filled with fun while also helping develop one's skills. And that is exactly what went down at the TVS Apache Racing Experience GP that was held recently at the Pune Kartdrome track at Kharadi, Pune.
I reported at the venue at around eight in the morning and was guided to the registration desk where I completed paperwork, signing forms and collecting merchandise. I then had my breakfast and was asked to report in the classroom at around nine o'clock. In the classroom former bike racers Pradeep and Harry introduced themselves and spoke about the programme. We were then shown a video on TVS Motor Company, TVS Racing, and the Apache Onemake Championship. After spending about an hour in the classroom, Harry and a few other national level racers debriefed and divided us into three batches. During the debrief, we were taught about track etiquette and the significance of the various flags. I was given the number 42 (Alex Rins?) and was put in batch one and was on track at around 10 o'clock, all set and ready to go. TVS had provided me with a riding jacket, pants, and boots. I had my own pair of gloves and a double D-ring helmet.
