Honda has announced that three riders from India will compete in the Honda Asia Dream Cup 2015 season. The India contingent from Chennai consists of Sarath Kumar, Hari Krishnan Rajagopalan and Sethu Rajiv.
The Honda Asia Dream Cup series will consist of 6 rounds across Asia. Twenty-two riders from 11 different countries including India will compete in the 2015 season. The ultimate goal of Honda is to develop Indian racers to graduate eventually to Moto3 and MotoGP. If the rider finishes the season in the top 8 of the championship, the rider will get an opportunity to qualify in Moto3.
The first round of the season at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, Sarath Kumar clocked 8 points while also setting the fastest lap of 1.20.768. Hari Krishnan was able to bag 6 points, while Sethu Rajiv did manage to complete the race.
Keita Muramatsu, President & CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. said,” We are rooting for podium win by the Indian contingent of Sarath Kumar, Hari Krishnan Rajagopalan and Sethu Rajiv. Honda wants to popularise motorsport culture in India. As first step, we have handpicked the best talent from home-grown Honda One Make Race platform and are nurturing them through the Asia Dream Cup. Our objective is to see them grow and hopefully represent India in the coveted Moto3 and later Moto GP championships.”
The racers now move to Sentul International Asian MotoGP circuit in Indonesia for the next-round, to be held from June 04-07, 2015.
