Let’s take a closer look at the high-octane excitement and the impressive array of sponsors propelling this groundbreaking event to new heights.
Six teams, namely Panchshil Racing, SG Sports, Gujarat Trailblazers, BigRock Motorsports, Mohite Racing, and Reise Motorsports, will go head-to-head in three races. The competition will span across Pune, Ahmedabad, and Delhi, offering a diverse range of racing challenges.
The racing classes include Indian 250cc, International 250cc, International 450cc, and a children’s demo class with 85cc bikes. Each team will be represented by two riders, competing in two races per class (Moto 1 & Moto 2). Points accumulated from both races will determine the overall winners.
A highlight of the ISRL Season 1 is the All-Star race, where one rider from each senior class competes in a “free for all” final. This unique race format allows 250cc and 450cc bikes to share the track, fostering competition between international and local riders. The All-Star race aims to elevate Indian talent by exposing them to world-class racing experiences.
