Volkswagen Motorsport India's recently announced Vento Cup 2015 will see the second round of driver selection this weekend here.

Being conducted on the same lines as the first selection, this round will be held at the Indi Karting Track in Kharadi where drivers willing to compete in the one-make touring car racing series can prove their mettle and get selected.

The selection would be taking place through Go-Karting sessions conducted by Vento Cup driver coach Rayomand Banajee. The first round of selection took place Feb 14 and 15.

Final selection would be done on the basis of the overall skills, covering consistency, understanding of racing lines, speed, lap times and acceptance for learning.

 

The finalists will compete in the Volkswagen Vento Cup 2015 which will commence later this year and will be conducted at different circuits.

"At the first round of selection, we saw some talented drivers coming forward. We have shortlisted some and will shortlist some more this weekend. The final selected drivers will then be put through some training in our race cars and through fitness regimes to prepare them for the upcoming season," Volkswagen Motorsport India head Sirish Vissa said.
