        This a great opportunity for racing fans to come watch and see actual world class pro's in action. For years all the track has seen is national competition with TVS racing dominating the scene. Then slowly we had local superbike racing startup in the past 1.5 years and people got to see some of our indian talent in action. Now its on to the next level and FIM asia is no joke, just as a reference, The top 5 riders in the FIM 600CC class actually lap our most experienced asian gp rider Dilip Rogger in the races, so you can imagine how fast they are. Some of the top japanese riders who take part in the 600cc class are competitive racers at the world level (suzuka 8 hour race etc). Expect to see some track records being broken, it will be a treat to watch. They will be working on improving track safety too to conform to FIM specifications. Finally we're moving in the right direction.

                  This is some really good news to the national racing scenario as a whole. With professional races come professional quality tracks and more manufacturers, accessories etc. Even I will try and make it. Lets see

                      Wow, world class racers from around the world, now that will definitely be a treat to watch (Chenni guys will already be planning a G2G at this juncture), i hope there are more races like this in the future to raise the benchmark of Indian racing to international standards (infrastructre-wise),
