PowerDrift Specials: Rajini's Academy of Competitive Racing [RACR]

Rajini Krishnan is undoubtedly India's fastest and most accomplished track racer. Here's his humble effort to give back to the riding community in form of RACR.
This initiative also has some big contributing experts of the likes of Andrew Stone from Mahi Racing, who joins to help aspiring Indian racers be safer and go faster. In this episode of PowerDrift specials, we give you a perspective of how riding schools can help you, whether you are a pro or a new rider. Find more about RACR here: http:www.racr.in

Broke my heart when Andrew stone said how possibly the best moto racer from India is struggling to finance his own goals. And made me smile that even after that, he is not giving up on this dream. It may not be him, but he wants to see another Indian achieve what he couldn't. It's rare to find people like these. I have nothing but massive respect for people like them. A big salute to you, Rajini sir.

[@aamir.khan.1991]

Also, #PowerDrift, there must be a way in which we, as spectators and lovers of the sport help #SupportTheSport. You have a loyal army at your disposal. Guide us and lead us. And maybe we can be of some help in letting an Indian dream take it's form.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Aamir Khan At this moment, all we can do is share the video and spread awareness. #SupportTheSport.

[@aamir.khan.1991]

+PowerDrift Done. :)

[@ShreyasKa92]

Sad part is in India only cricket is a sport and everything else is waste. Mera bharath mahan (Sarcastically)

[@powerdriftofficial]

Keep your fingers crossed, Shreyas ! Exciting developments are happening in the domestic motorsport scenario. Cheers !

[@ShreyasKa92]

PowerDrift Im really hoping for the best :)

[@rohithjnair2]

@4:06 . I remember in one of the Top Gear episodes, Jackie Stewart telling James May saying something about not to touch the throttle coming out of the corner until he was completely sure and then floor it. His lap time improved by 20 seconds after getting coached by the ex-F1 driver. So many technicalities that us normal people are unaware of.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+RJ Nair And hence a riding school will teach you the art of riding a bike correctly :)

[@fjallmann]

it really broke my heart when I heard Andrew stone's comment regarding funding for Rajini. This was rather a deja-vu moment. pretty sure this has happened in other sports as well. Hope sports get the recognition they need and I must applaud the intentions of Rajini himself, if not him, it will benefit someone else, he said. Proud to be a motorist with riders like him. I never knew Sarge had a Daytona :o

[@fjallmann]

or was it a RACR academy bike?

[@fjallmann]

+Sagar Sheldekar believe me, you'll be buying something bigger real soon. (best wishes for this :P)

[@chinu999399]

sad to see that such superb talent can't get in main stream biking..........

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Khisal Khan Spread the word! It might help ;)

[@krishnanunni80]

India needs to promote this sport and bring out the unsung talents.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Make sure you share the videos with #SupportTheSport. Here are more motorsport videos for you, Krishnan : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoqzZouuic-YjZI&index=2&list=PLVfy6I8a8OSxVV6YMVjzqRHi5Ae6aS9s0

[@tigercs1]

Do you all start riding young in India? There is also 1.3 billion of you too, so that helps.

[@TheBinoyVudi]

And thank you, Powerdrift for keeping the focus on these tracks (MMRT & Kari).. they have been so important both historically and their development will be crucial for the future of motorsport in India.

[@kamaniyadey371]

Thank You #Powerdrift for yet another great video, and most importantly you are letting every people know about Rajni Sir and his effort to inspire Indians about a possessive sport"Riding".........Hats off to you all!!!!! Hope we all feel free to enjoy the spirit of riding!!

[@powerdriftofficial]

+KAMANIYA DEY legends are here to stay! We were lucky enough to give back only a bit of support that he deserves. :)

[@hooliganrider8859]

Great video once again. I'm getting to know every single place in India where we can meet the people who are the part of our Biking culture and taking it to the heights where it should be and sending a great message to youth! Thanks To PowerDrift.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Hooligan Rider Cheers :D

[@abhishekpawar9090]

India really needs more racing schools like this , many people including me are interested in circuit racing..hope to see more schools in near future

[@powerdriftofficial]

That would really develop and promote new talent in the country. :)

[@farizrayees6011]

abhishek pawar they only thing stops the potential of riders is the financial support.. some people are God gifted in terms of potential but cuz of lack of money they can't seek career in motorsports

[@vaibhavhalgekar5784]

A very nice video.....but sad knowing the state of motorsports in Our Country.....All the government knows is cricket......rest all is sidelined....Most of the people wont be even knowing CS Santosh who completed Dakar to make India proud......the only dakar we know is the one that comes after a meal.....Well anyways cheers to powerdrift for the info flow....ride safe....tc

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Neiel Prabhakar Amen to that!

[@TheBinoyVudi]

These guys in MMRT Sri Perumbudur (Chennai) and the people Coimbatore City have been patronizing racing since the 1960s when most people in India had absolutely no idea that a sport like this even existed.. They've been at it through tough economic times.. This is India's racing Meccah, Tirupati, The Holy Mosques of Jerusalem - all clubbed into one.. It is good to have a great circuit called Buddh in Delhi.. may be a few more in Calcutte, Mumbai and other places --- BUT Why are these tracks not being upgraded/new ones being built.. DOESN'T THE CENTRAL GOVT. NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THESE TRACKS AND UPGRADE THEM? THESE TRACKS GAVE INDIA ALL OF OUR F1 Drivers.. It is sad that these guys have to pretty much run the show with minimal support.. they're doing a great job for people with little financial backing from the Govt. The Central Govt. Needs to throw in more money muscle behing the Kari Motor Speedway and the MMRT - if they do, I'm sure India can dominate Motor Racing at the Global level.. We can do way better than even Japan, and be at the level of Finland, Germany, France etc.

[@kalaiventhan8647]

Racing school join in which step follow and price monthly pay Fee's tell me sir

[@sachinmb6479]

Rajni is a good human being. Really down to earth. Now my respect for him has gone up a lot.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+sachin mb +1 to that!

[@maniksi2855]

One word "Respect"

[@adwaitb765]

The problem with pursuing motorsports in India is basically the lack of encouragement and funding. I don't if everyone would agree, but motorsports is an expensive passion to follow. Ever since I started riding, I've always wanted to get down on a racetrack, but financial limitations along with lack of infrastructure has stopped me from pursuing it. It's really sad that all I can do is take the risk of doing it on the road (lavasa).

[@sreejohnsvn]

+Adwait Babras True story bro

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Adwait Babras You can enroll for RACR on their website - www.racr.in and make your dream come true. :)

[@sumitmhatre8419]

Also our mighty government in all their wisdom have imposed taxes so high that good supersports bike , even a middleweight will cost you your kidney's, your neighbours kidney's, and kidney's of everyone you know. Are'nt you charging enough on everything else already? Well taxes, thank you and fuck you.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Ruff Rider There are two reasons for that. One- small rocks might bust your headlamp at high speeds and the second is that in case of a crash, there should be no debris on the track as small shards of glass may damage the tires on the other bikes. :)
