Acting as a catalyst to induct drivers into the commercial vehicle profession, the T1 Racer Program will present shortlisted Indian truck drivers, with an opportunity to compete in Season IV of the T1 Truck Racing Championship at India’s globally renowned F1 race track – The Buddh International Circuit (BIC), Greater Noida.

After as stellar performances by Jagat Singh and Nagarjuna amongst others, is a testimony to the success of the Truck Racer Program, organised for the first time during the T1 PRIMA TRUCK RACING CHAMPIONSHIP 2016. Having being trained for over three months by some of the best race instructors in India roped in by MOMA (MOMA Motorsport Management), the ‘Heroes of the Highways’ took home the highest price money ever won in an Indian motorsports event, held in 2016. A sum of rupees 10 lakhs each was awarded to winners who stood first in the two SUPER CLASS races.

Our customers have played a critical role in making TRP a success. We take this opportunity to thank them for their collaborative efforts and look forward to taking TRP to greater heights in the coming years.”

Training Structure Design

The TRP training structure was designed uniquely, since race craft training is to be imparted to truck drivers, who had no previous exposure to track driving. Of these, there may be many, who have never driven a PRIMA and had little or no formal education. Hence, the course material has been designed to make it driver-friendly, so it could be grasped by the drivers, and that too, in limited time. MOMA designed a training program consisting of four Levels of training & elimination.

Level 1 - To impart elementary race theory & track driving lessons
Level 2 - Include a more intensive Prima-driving session
Level 3 - Involve rigorous physical and mental training sessions
Level 4 - Enable transition of a “road-driver” to a “Prima-Racer”

Shivnihal Singh (40 years) also of UP and Gurujant Singh (33 years old) of UP, were second and third respectively and were among the 10 drivers who made it to the finals of the Super Class category.

Mohabat Singh of Rajasthan clocked the fastest lap @ 1:50.677, while first place Pitambar’s fastest lap was @ 1:50.950.

Selected through the second edition of one of the most comprehensive motorsports driver training and selection program, for Indian drivers called the T1 Racer Program (TRP), Tata Motors formally kicked off preparations for Season IV, with the second edition of the T1 Racer Program (TRP 2.0) in 2016, under a new theme of ‘Junoon-e-Trucking’. TRP 2.0 received over 1000 applications from all over the country, of which Season 4 presented 10 new shortlisted Indian truck drivers with an opportunity to race at India’s globally renowned F1 race track.

Results of the Super class race are attached to this email.

Besides inducting new Indian drivers to the sport, Season 4 will also feature Indian truck drivers from Season 3, competing against each other in a separate race category called CHAMPION CLASS.

Like in the earlier seasons, the championship will continue to host experienced international drivers representing six teams under the PRO CLASS category, with accomplished racers from FIA’s European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) competing in the championship for the very first time. The ETRC was represented by six racers from the rest of Europe, who competed in the PRO CLASS category alongside six British drivers from the British Truck Racing Association (BTRA), who have raced in T1 since the sporting event was first introduced in 2014.

Alongside some edge of the seat action at T1 2017, Season 4 also hosted some of the country’s most prominent names from the music and entertainment fraternity. From the Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar to the scintillating Garima Yajnik with her foot-tapping Indo-western numbers along with vivacious damsel of melody added by Siddharth Mahadevan, KK and last but not the least the sensational performance by the young superstars from Saregamapa Little Champs, were few amongst the many other surprises that T1 season 4 had to offer.

In Season 4, Tata Motors has also partnered with some of the country’s leading automotive brands. These are WABCO – Official Braking Technology Partner, JK Tyre – Official Tyre Partner, Castrol – Official Lubricant Partner, Cummins – Official Engine Technology Partner and Tata Technologies.
