"It was all about Speed, Skill & Consistency in the Round 2 of the Levitas Cup"

Racing isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. Ever since I was 9, the race track has been my happiest place. For the past 15 years, I've poured my heart into this sport, pushing myself to go faster, work harder, and achieve my goals.

Racing, like any other sport, demands complete dedication, discipline, and passion. It’s not just about driving at high speeds; it’s about the countless hours of preparation that happen long before the lights go out. From spending time on the simulator and building physical and mental strength, to maximizing every lap of track time, every detail matters. We're constantly striving to extract the best from both the car and myself.

What most people see is the race itself. What they don’t see is the relentless work, the late nights, the setbacks, and the small victories that lead up to that moment. Thus, when I got the opportunity to go race in the Levitas Cup at the JK Tyre National Racing Championship as Team TOPGEAR INDIA. I was all set to go race and take ya'll along with me.

WHAT IS THE LEVITAS CUP?

Before I dive into the race weekend, let me give you a quick brief about the Levitas Cup. The Levitas Cup is designed to make motorsports more accessible by bridging the gap between karting and premium car racing categories. Part of the JK Tyre National Racing Championship, it features 16 identical Maruti Suzuki IGNIS cars and two categories — Rookie and Pro — giving both young and experienced drivers an equal chance to compete purely on skill.

THE LEVITAS CUP CAR

The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is a quirky little car — extremely easy to drive and, in my opinion, an ideal starting point for newcomers entering the world of racing. The Ignis used in the Levitas Cup is far from stock. It’s fully race-prepped, built and tuned by experts to make it lighter, faster, and suited for competitive racing.
