The academy called for entries from enthusiastic women riders across India to be part of the programme. Based on their passion and riding experience, around 30 women riders were to undergo a one-day training and selection camp in Bangalore on May 24.
The year-long training and racing programme is being led by renowned racer and ex-TVS Racing rider Rajini Krishnan and other trainers from Rajini Academy of Competitive Racing. TVS Racing champion riders Jagan Kumar and Harry Sylvester are also part of this academy as instructors.
The first thirty candidates were selected after attending an intensive training programme for a day. This included six theory sessions followed by a practise session on the track and ended with a short race. From the 30 short listed, 15 candidates were finally selected based on the time recorded for the 3-lap race.
The formal training school for women racers will commence from June 2017 and motorcycles to be used will be the race-spec TVS Apache RTR 200. There will be four races in the TVS Ladies One-Make Series 2017 as a part of One Make Championship across the year. The winner will be declared the TVS Ladies One-Make Champion.
