High Points

Should be a cakewalk for Ajay Kini. I raced with him in FISSME..the race he won.

Changes in the car for 2011:
1. New steering wheel of a smaller diameter for better feel. OMP make and leather wrapped instead of the stock wheel for 2010.

2. Drink bottle with a small water pump now inlcuded in the car. Very helpful for the climate that we experience in India.
