in #blog6 years ago

Happy Monday Steemians

TVS Racing announced and launched the second season of TVS Racing – Training Academy for Women. The academy called for entries from enthusiastic women riders across India to be part of the programme. Based on their passion and riding experience, 25 women riders underwent a one-day training and selection camp in Bangalore. Out of the 25 selected candidates, the top 15 women will be shortlisted and compete in the second edition of the TVS Ladies One-Make Series.

The year-long training and racing programme will be led by renowned racer & ex-TVS Racing rider Rajini Krishnan and other trainers from Rajini Academy of Competitive Racing. TVS Racing champion riders Jagan Kumar and Harry Sylvester are also part of this academy as instructors.

R.A.C.R. is known to take care of the full range of services including, track booking and all statutory facilities that are required for conducting a successful track day. They have structured training modules to help riders extract the best out of their machines as well as themselves in a track environment.

Specialized training that can help riders hone their skills to exemplary levels, more than anything else at the end of the day, we hope that our students can go out there and really enjoy riding their motorcycles with greater skill and expertise.

Any woman/ girl over 13 years of age who has been riding a motorcycle for at least two years is eligible to apply for the programme.

Entries from girls and women from all over India were scrutinized and Based on the entries, 25 candidates were selected to attend an intensive training programme for a day. The day comprised of 6 theory sessions followed by a practice session on the track and ended with a short race. 15 successful candidates were selected based on the time recorded for the 3-lap race.

The formal training school for women racers will commence from June 2018 and motorcycles to be used will be the race-spec TVS Apache RTR 200. There will be 4 races in the TVS Ladies One-Make Series 2018 as a part of One Make Championship across the year. The winner will be declared the TVS Ladies One-Make Champion.
