A Word From The Racers

On being asked what the experience was like, Sai Prithvi, a top racer from Qualifier 1 had this to say – “I’ve been sim racing for the past 3 years now and this is definitely a unique experience as there aren’t many competitions in sim racing in India. The organisers did a great job co-ordinating the entire event and supported us to the fullest despite having technical issues and I’m happy to say that everything went relatively smoothly.”. Amith Kutty another top racer from Qualifier 1 said “It was a good experience and well organised. It was good to see an influx of new people introduced to sim racing in the Indian scene. It was very close at the top and had good battles throughout the races. It will be challenging to the say the least. A lot of practice will be required to compete at the sharp end of the grid.“.
