With their exclusively trained Motocross racers, they are sure to dominate every single race in this category. It’s been a history so far and their reign here still continues – Unbeatable competitors.

The Desi racing team has now hot a reason to rejoice with yet another feather in their cap. Aravind K P of Team TVS Racing has now becmme the first Indian rider to win a motocross championship outside India. He recently won this year’s Sri Lanka Association of Racing Drivers and Riders (SLARDAR) Championship 2011. Aravind K P dominated the race and was titled the Championship winner. He finished the race with a total of 73 points. He, along with TVS Racing, Advisor Racing – R&D, Mr. Arvind Pangaonkar was felicitated at a glittering ceremony held recently.

“It was a tremendous experience riding in Sri Lanka. I have learnt a lot during this event as it was a great platform for me to fine tune my riding skills. I have emerged as a much better rider after this event. I am overjoyed to have finished on top of the Sri Lanka Association of Racing Drivers and Riders (SLARDAR) championship 2011”, Aravind said on receiving the championship trophy.
