Indian racer Sarath Kumar will make his debut in the Super Sports 600cc class of the 2016 Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) this weekend.
The 24-year old Chennai-based rider, who has competed in the Asia Dream Cup in the past, will join the ARRC in the second round to be held at the Chang International Circuit here on May 8-9 after missing the first round in Johor, Malaysia, in April due to a knee injury.
The Indian's move to the 600cc class comes after riding smaller motorcycles for four years.
Sarath's teammates at Team T.Pro Yuzy Honda NTS Racing are Japanese riders Tomoyoshi Koyama and Taiga Hada, both with plenty of skill and experience.
