world class SuperSport team and to be the first team from Asia to
participate in FIM World SuperSport Championship. Our goal is to build
awareness about this sport in India and raise it to the level of
cricket, hockey, tennis, badminton and other sports in our country.
What’s even more interesting is the motorbikes that race in the FIM
Superbike World Championship will also be seen on roads and this will
give a strong connect between people who ride bikes and this sporting
event. I am looking forward to the 2013 season as our Indian flag will
fly high on the World Superbike championship circuits across the
globe. It will be a proud moment for Mahi Racing Team India and all of
us, Nagarjuna added.
After making its debut in the 600 CC class of the FIM World Superbike
Championship this year, Mahi Racing Team India is now considering to
enter other categories such as Sport and Supersport.
The 2013 race season to be announced officially soon is expected to
have 14 rounds. Starting 24th February 2013 from Phillip Island, the
season promises to be very exciting as new teams and tracks join in.
The Indian Team rider line-up next year will be triple world champion
Kenan Sofouglu and former world champion Fabien Foret. Signed by
Kawasaki as its official factory team, with technical direction in the
hands of Andrew Stone, the Mahi Racing Team riders will be testing the
Ninja ZX-6R bikes during the winter.
“We will be a strong and competitive force in the world superbike
championship and will be the team to watch next season.” Nandish
Domlur, Co- Owner & Co- Managing Director, Mahi Racing Team India
said.
Mahi Racing Team India’s Kawasaki ZX-6R bike will sport a new logo and
livery for the upcoming season and mark India’s first foray into the
production bikes based racing categories, at the Indian Round of the
World Superbike Championships next year at the Buddh International
Circuit near New Delhi on March 10. Mahi Racing Team India entered the
17-race championship midway in the 10th race of the 201 season at
Brno, Czech Republic. It will compete through the full season in 2013
beginning at Phillip Island, Melbourne on Feb 24th 2013.
British rider Dan Linfoot of the Mahi Racing Team earlier finished a
remarkable 3rd in the Supersport category giving the team its first
podium finish in only its sixth race in Oct 2012 at the Magny Cours
circuit in France.
The team members are equally upbeat. We would like to achieve some
good results, and our true goal is winning the World Championship in
2013,” they stated. “We all like to aim for victory! Anything may
happen, but we would like to go with a goal in mind, when you take
part in competitions.
After Cricket, Badminton and Tennis which put us in the global
professional sport league, it is now time for Hyderabad to talk about
Motorsport. We are keen to groom Indian Bikers and provide them a good
platform to perform at the global level. Nagarjuna said.
