TVS Announces Dates For Womens One-Make Race Series

Those willing to participate will need to carry a valid driver’s licence as well.

Participants will be given formal training by riders such as Harry Sylvester, K Jagan Kumar, K Y Ahmed, S Kannan and ex-TVS racer Aishwarya Pissay. They will impart track etiquette and the basic know-how of track racing. After that, the participants will be timed on the go-kart track and the ten fastest racers will be then be selected to take part in the 2018 season on the one-make race series.

TVS introduced the one-make race series for women in 2016 with an aim to promote budding women racers. The series has provided these racers with a platform to hone their racing skills as well as give them an equal footing in what has been a male-dominated arena. The racers train and race on TVS’ Apache RTR 200 race-prepped bikes, which is similar to the motorcycles used in the men’s one-make series. To their credit, the women racers in the past two seasons have posted fantastic results and impressive lap times.
