The JK Tyre-powered India Racing Festival wrapped up with high-octane excitement in Mizoram on April 16, despite heavy rain and unpredictable weather. Motorsports fans braved the conditions to witness India’s top racers and stunt performers deliver an electrifying show, highlighted by a world-first car drift around Mizoram’s iconic Cheraw Dance.
The festival kicked off with jaw-dropping stunts by Mizo Superbikers and local talents Mrs. Awmawmi and Mr. Francis. Headlining the event were Indian F4 driver Sohil Shah, GoKart racers Yatharth Gaur and Aarav Sureka, IRL star Sandeep Kumar, and stunt legends like Prashant, Ashwin Singh Takiar, and Sanam Sekhon. JK Tyre Motorsport’s Hari Singh, a five-time national rally champion, praised Mizoram’s driving discipline and passion. “JK Tyre is proud to support Mizoram’s motorsport talent and looks forward to nurturing more champions from this region,” he said.
In Aizawl, the racing buzz translated into a notable spike in automobile accessory sales and youth engagement in local racing clubs. The event sparked discussions in the Aizawl market on the potential for a long-term motorsports tourism circuit in the region. The festival will head next to Shillong on April 19, continuing its mission to take motorsports across the Northeast.
