The championship shall continue till October 2015. Two championship races will run simultaneously – ‘Novice’ for beginners and ‘Open’ for more seasoned racers.
Suzuki will provide a full grid of 20, race-prepared Gixxer SF motorcycles for 5 rounds of racing, which will be held in conjunction with the Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore and the Madras Motor Race Track in Chennai. These motorcycles will be backed by a dedicated team of experts and pit crew to support the riders.
Just as the Gixxer and the Gixxer SF have redefined their segments, Suzuki aims to set new standards for One Make Racing, with the Gixxer Cup. The aim is to lay the foundation of Suzuki’s global racing culture in India. Also, the race will seek to promote motorsports and the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie.
