If you are young, can raise sponsorship and got the skills, this is worth a year off. Please read my experience in one weekend here (Team-BHP takes part in the VW Ameo Cup Media Race)

You will gain in many ways:-

• How to be both physically and mentally strong
• The need to rely heavily on teamwork and dynamics
• How to deeply analyse and assess multiple parameters
• How to accept feedback and respond
• How to take strategic risks

and a lot more.

In 2018 - that weekend was one of the most challenging weekends ever faced, Spiti with Skoda was a close second.

Oh to be young again!

Hope you registered by now.

I was also hoping to register, but after some research around the process realized that I am probably too old at 37yrs (and unfit for sprints and pushups) to go through the selection process. The below link has the details of the selection process for 2018.

Good luck if you are taking part, and do keep us posted!

The three judges each scored the drivers out of 20 for their driving techniques which had the highest weightage in the selection process. Every driver’s fastest lap time and ultimately the fitness scores were also added up to decide the final scores for each participant.

Four trainers from Multifit conducted a few exercises in order to evaluate the fitness of the participants.

There would be in total 10 races throughout the season being held at India’s all three racing circuits in Coimbatore, Chennai and Greater Noida.
