The ultimate test
It is an unforgiving battleground. Motorsport is not for the weak-hearted. It pushes man and machine to lengths no sane person would probably be willing to accept. Imagine being constantly on the edge. Imagine pushing the limits of what your body can take. Imagine testing the laws of physics and discovering how far you and your machine can really go. Imagine all of that happening at the same time. It is a little bit like madness. But then again, there’s very little that can make you feel as alive as being in a car that’s hurtling across mountains, rivers, through canyons, forests and any other place cars aren’t normally driven through. On the edge of control. High on adrenaline. It is like nothing else. Today, Maruti Suzuki Motorsport offers you the opportunity to do all of that. 

Intrigued?
Maruti Suzuki believes in making motorsport accessible to everyone. To this end, it has been actively promoting motorsport in the country for over a decade. It has packed the year with a number of races across the country to get more and more people to participate in it. And that’s the point. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a professional racer, amateur racer or simply a motorsport enthusiast, anyone can race in Maruti Suzuki Motorsport. Sounds like a dream come true, right?
