Speaking at the India Today Conclave, India’s first Formula One driver stated, ‘the racetracks are much safer than our Indian roads.’ The racing icon elaborated on the state of Indian motorsport, noting the absence of an Indian driver, team, and Grand Prix on the current F1 calendar. A significant revelation was the confirmation of an upcoming biopic, with the script capturing the journey to Formula One now complete. The driver also detailed a new partnership with actor Ajit Kumar, aiming to qualify for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France with their new Indian team in the Asian Le Mans series. The first race is scheduled for December in Malaysia. He also touched upon his entrepreneurial venture DriveX, a pre-owned two-wheeler platform backed by TVS Motor Company, and the challenges facing aspiring Indian racers, including high equipment import duties. #narenkarthikeyan #indiatodayconclave #formula1 #f1 #indianmotorsport #ajitkumar #lemans #drivex #motorsport #racing #speed #coimbatore #biopic #makeinindia #indianracing
