I WANT TO MAKE INDIA A STRONG PLAYER IN THE MOTORSPORTS WORLD

“RPPL’s vision is to make India a strong player in the motorsports world and it is committed to creating a clear pathway for racing enthusiasts to move up to racing internationally. Karting and sim racing in India will lead to the F4 Indian championship, followed by the Formula Regional Indian Championship, which in turn acts as a stepping stone for FIA-sanctioned international racing.”

VIJAY DEVERAKONDA, Actor & Entrepreneur

What is your larger purpose and goal behind organising Formula 3 and Formula 4 racing league? What is your vision for RPPL?

The vision of racing promotions and its initiatives in F3 and F4 is to take an all-Indian team to F1 in the next five to seven years and an all-Indian women team to F2 in the next 10-12 years. From a purely commercial standpoint, F3 and F4 add a lot of technical legitimacy to our offerings, including the Indian racing league, given the FIA points that come with them. They will attract the international racing fraternity to India, and subsequently, suppliers to the global auto-racing industry.
