UP based Pitambar wins Super Class Category of Tata Prima T1 race

Tata Motors formally kicked off preparations for Season IV, with the second edition of the T1 Racer Programme (TRP 2.0) in 2016, under a new theme of ‘Junoon-e-Trucking’. TRP 2.0 received over 1000 applications from all over the country, of which Season 4 presented 10 new shortlisted Indian truck drivers with an opportunity to race at India’s globally renowned F1 race track.

Besides inducting new Indian drivers to the sport, Season 4 also featured Indian truck drivers from Season 3, competing against each other in a separate race category called Champion Class.

Like in the earlier seasons, the championship continued to host experienced international drivers representing six teams under the Pro Class category, with accomplished racers from FIA’s European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) competing in the championship for the very first time. The ETRC was represented by six racers from the rest of Europe, who competed in the Pro Class category alongside six British drivers from the British Truck Racing Association (BTRA), who have raced in T1 since the sporting event was first introduced in 2014. 

Alongside some edge of the seat action at T1 2017, Season 4 also hosted some of the country’s most prominent names from the music and entertainment fraternity. From the Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar to Garima Yajnik with her foot-tapping Indo-western numbers along with vivacious damsel of melody added by Siddharth Mahadevan, KK and last but not the least the sensational performance by the young superstars from Saregamapa Little Champs, were few amongst the many other surprises that T1 season 4 had to offer.
