Isn't that Gautam Singhania's 458 Challenge which we saw here on tbhp a few month's ago?

Of course it is! Not sure what had happened. He is such an experienced driver. You can see him in the second pic.

And he is 45+ that's an age when many racing drivers have long retired.

There's an Indian Flag in the Podium of an Racing Event!! Awesome. Did the Print media even cover this?!

That's a sight I would love to see more. An Indian flag in an international racing podium.

Hat tip and Big Thanks to SG.

Very true. He has created an awareness in car racing, drifting etc. I wish few more things start in India for racing like California Superbike School which will take this to the next level.
