The regional qualifiers will feature over 1000 racers, and a select group of city champions will compete for the national title at MMRT in Chennai.
The race will be overseen by Jeremy Mcwilliams, a former MotoGP racer with two podium finishes in the 500cc class and a win in the 250cc class. The race will be supported by Emmanuel Jebaraj, a seven-time National INMRC Champion and the founder of Gusto Racing, India.
