The third round of the 17th JK Tyre Racing Championship will witness 75 drivers from across the country tussle for every inch on the 5.15km long Buddh International circuit race track in three different categories to prove their mettle on November 8 and 9.
International drivers and JK Tyre brand ambassadors -- Armaan Ebrahim and Aditya Patel -- will also be present during the race and will drive alongside the 10 drivers in the FB02 category.
The youngsters will have the opportunity to not only race with these world class drivers but also get a chance to pick the nuances and tips from them.
They will be starting from the end of the grid to give the drivers a head start and possibly entertain the crowd with their manoeuvres.
Chennai's Vishnu Prasad would once again be the runaway favourite to take the chequered flag at the Buddh Circuit in the featured event.
Racing in the FB 02 class, Vishnu's driving with class and precision and holding clean lines on the sharp turns is a treat to watch. Bonnie Thomas of Kerala and local boy Karminder Pal Singh would be the racers to watch out for in the Volkswagen Polo R Cup, having only a difference of 14 points after their escapade in Coimbatore in the last two rounds.
Like every year, JK Tyres have introduced a special event in the championship - JK Tyres Super Bikes Cup, which will see bikers scorching the track on a 1000CC engine.
Riders from Bangalore, Jaipur, Agra will be taking part along with the local boys in their home turf.
