its not as simple as saying the guy who will train the drivers will know what his/her skill level is but what i said was that if u put a normal person in a rotax it will be like teaching someone how to drive on a 800bhp car... which can be done but is not advisable

i doubt its gonna be a 15 day camp .. i reckon its either gonna bea 3 day camp that will cost would 30 grand ... or max to max a 5 day course that will cost you arnd 50 grand or so (AkKU has never taken a 5 day racing course ..
And the couse will be conducted at KARI Motor speedway , not at the sriperembudur track at chennai . And they will be using the f-Lgb cars either running 1.5 hyundai engines or 1.3 l maruti mpfi engines ...

Did you speak to him ...
If yes .. then what did he say ...

Shan2nu · 4th February 2007, 08:34

Nope, still not able to get through. The phone keeps ringing, it then diverts the call to another line and then goes blank.

Not sure if he's got a new nuber or what.
