Our resident track junkie Alameen Merchant hits the track yet again – this time astride the TVS 310RR Cup OMC, as a part of the Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship 2019.
We also got Dakar veteran C S Santosh to share his insights on the importance of getting into a factory racing/rallying team. “If it wasn't for TVS and my 11 years with them, I would not be here for sure”, says CS. Aravind KP on the other hand, talks about fitness while Aishwarya Pissay chats about women in motorsport.

Idemitsu Honda Ten10 Racing’s Sarath Kumar climbs to the top of the leader board at the INMRC, outpacing TVS Racing’s Jagan and his teammate Rajiv Sethu for the 2019 title.
