The unavailability of race tracks is a major de-motivating factor for people like us to take up racing as a passion and profession as well. After a thorough research, I have realised there are only two purpose built racing tracks in the country:-
MMRT, Chennai
KMS, Coimbatore

If you see, both are in Tamil Nadu, and it is not easily accessible to even the other states down south - Kerala, Karnataka, AP, Goa.

A lot of potential talent lies in other parts of the country. But, the riders from TN steal the show since they have access to the race tracks. No wonder, you don't find promising names from other parts of the country of over 120 crore population . (No hard feelings to the TN bikers, I just want bikers from all over India to live their dream .. I am a Tamilian too ... )

As stated by Killer - Ø single biggest reason - track accessibility and transport cost's that deters participation.

Besides these, all other deterring factors like cost of racing, track race bikes, riding gear will automatically find a solution once the track accessibilty problem is resolved. It automatically takes care of transport costs since the tracks will be available in the major metros , covering the length and breadth of the country.

Now, I need some serious participation from the movers and shakers of motorsports in India. I want everyone to spread this message to every corner of our country. Who will be the movers and shakers ??

1. Racing School owners, sponsors, management and operations staff.
2. Racing Clubs across the country (I have a list of about 35 odd clubs).
3. Officials of Automotive Mission Plan (AMP2016).
4. Officials of FMSCI, FIM Asia.
5. Officials of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers.
6. Officials of the motor-sports divisions of the two-wheelers companies in India

With some fair response from these heavy weights , I will take this project to the next level - track building across the country. Once the tracks are ready, the Racing Schools can set up their shop in-house and the Racing Clubs can organize more events throughout the year at more locations across India.

So, it's a humble request to spread the word to EVERY person who directly or indirectly falls/associated with any of the categories above. Spread the word, don't worry about the results - trust me on this !! This is not just my dream, but a dream of every biker in the country that I am fighting hard to make it successful.

I say if we xbhpians pitch in as
a community we can make a difference
if even 1000 xbhians donate 1000Rs. each we can come up with 10 lakhs
we could get enough land with that amount to start off mini motocross-style races. And we could take off from there.

Futhermore, the solution as I see it and also as some experienced people suggested after my research is - building race tracks across the country. The land as you say, we might find it .. But, building a race track with some stringent quality approvals is not a mean feat . It runs into millions of rupees. Even, that is not an issue right now . We can rope in investors for the funds. Alrite, since you have taken an initiative of discussing the monetary aspect - Let me tell you, I have a business plan ready for this project. It has been reviewed by an investor . He finds the investment very lucrative. All he needs an assurance about is the SUSTAINABILITY of this project. (These investors alwayz think money wise ). So, my task at hand is to prove to them that there is a market for what we want and people all over the country are very positive about it .

So, my friend, all I want is people to respond to this project with some enthusiasm and get together to get all the big names to give their thumbs up for this project. In simple words - If racing schools and clubs say to me, we will conduct events and championships throughout the year on your tracks across the country, I will go ahead and make sure this project turns into reality.
