We were invited to the seventh edition of the TVS Young Media Racer Programme, a unique initiative aimed at providing aspiring young media personnel with hands-on experience in the field of motorcycle circuit racing

From Dream to Reality

The Young Media RaceR programme, organised by TVS Racing, selects a group of young journalists and automotive influencers to participate in races through the season alongside the national championship. The selected participants undergo a rigorous training programme that includes both theoretical and practical training sessions where they learn various aspects of racing such as track etiquette, racing lines, and bike set-up, etc. The highlight of the programme is the actual racing wherein the participants get an opportunity to race on a track. This not only gave us a chance to experience the thrill of racing first-hand but also enabled us to gain a deeper understanding of the sport and the challenges faced by professional racers.

All of us journos and the influencers had an early start and were taxied to the track for the day’s briefing. The track, as expected, was very hot with humidity rising by the minute. i could feel my throat dry up on account of the heat and the anxiety and that’s when I saw the race-spec apache RTR 200s that we were going to ride on the track and they looked beautiful.
