Racing was never in my career list until 1996. My adventure into motor sports began in the year 1997 with rallying and motor cross. Since then the bug of winning pleasure has created hunger for more adventure and challenges.

Every flag off (3, 2, 1, go…) is a new start of my career and this is the joy of my life

Since from 2013, I’ve been getting a lot of people asking why cars? The answer is simple .My passion is competition and I need challenge. I have a best car prepared by R-Tech fluid dynamics, enough to drive without limitation.

I have an opportunity to race at the highest level in Indian motorsport events. There is a tough competition but I’d never forgive myself if I did’t take this opportunity to see if I have what it takes to be a champion again.

I love to race and I believe I can be successful. I’ve been in this situation before when I switched my focus from (2w) rallying to Motocross .I caught a lot of criticism but I followed my passion and went to win National Motocross Championship.

I’m the underdog again the rookie. I feel like I did when I was 21 and about to turn pro in motocross. Hoping I can be a champion but only having a slight grasp of what it’s going to take to get there.
