この号では

Racing season is right around the corner and this month we get up-close with India’s first ever Formula 1 driver and go back in time to the good ol’ karting days with JK Tyre Motorsport. Our cover story highlights the fast-paced life of Coimbatore’s Narain Karthikeyan, to find out if he’s still got the go-faster urge in him and to know what he has been racing ever since F1. We also get under the skin of the Nakajima Racing Honda NSX-GT that Narain pilots in Japan’s premiere racing series, the Super GT. With JK Tyre having overhauled the National Karting series, it seemed a good idea to look back at the karting yesteryears: in a conversation with the JK Tyre Motorsport boss, Sanjay Sharma. Ed gets in touch with India’s race entrepreneurs, Armaan Ebrahim and Aditya Patel on kickstarting the most awaited X1 Racing league, its drivers, the funding, its future and the race car! Next up, we chart out Volkswagen Motorsport India’s cup car evolution tree and also speak to Ramji Govindarajan, the man behind the Ten10 Racing Academy. “We are front ending the talent hunt, right from the shortlisting to selection and training at Ten10 Racing Academy” An exclusive tete-a-tete with Gautam Singhania, India’s representive at the FIA on “promoting the motorsport culture rather than just focusing on producing one Indian F1 driver” Also inside are the race reports from all the motorsport events having taken place in India, right from karting to formula racing, rallies and motorcycles racing.
