TRACKING BLUE

Yamaha holds its Track Day for customers at the MMRT and has a surprise lined up for us, too

When the opportunity for a track day arises, one must seize it with zeal, so that is exactly what I did. There were no second thoughts as I packed my bags and headed to Chennai, where Yamaha had arranged the Madras International Circuit (MMRT as we fondly know it) for a weekend of blue revelry for its customers. As part of its Call of the Blue campaign, Yamaha has been organising such events all over the country with the objective of familiarising customers with the Japanese brand's racing heritage, while providing them with first-hand track experience.

The event gives customers the opportunity to comprehend the potential of their vehicles, given that owners of the R3, R15, MT15, FZ range and Aerox 155 were eligible to take part in the track ride. Registrations for the event cost an individual a sum of ₹2000, which would get them 30 minutes of track time, a goodie bag and photographic souvenirs. What it also includes is a full leather suit, boots, gloves and even track-certified helmets to use for the duration of the event. At this rate, it is a steal of a deal!
