Mumbai: TVS Srichakra Ltd, manufacturer of two & three-wheeler and off-highway tyres will power the TVS One Make Championship 2021 as a ‘technical partner’ for the third year in a row.

The racing event will be conducted in five rounds at Madras Motor Race Track (MMRT) circuit starting from 21 August.   

Speaking on the occasion, TVS Srichakra Ltd, chief technology officer (R&D), V Sivaramakrishnan said, “Machines are always built to the specifications of FMSCI and on straight parts of the track, every racer worth their salt is as good as the other. It is through superior cornering that races are won, and that’s where the tyres play a crucial role. Our tyres are designed to give expert riders the confidence to negotiate corners with laser-sharp precision at high speeds. We are looking forward to another year of this exciting association with TVS One Make Championship.”

TVS Racing is the pioneer of One Make Championship in the country, being the first Indian manufacturer to introduce the championship in India in 1994.  The championship has been a platform for two-wheeler racing enthusiasts and has given them the opportunity to become champions. The TVS Apache series of motorcycles have been built over the years on this racing DNA.
