Motorsports is gaining popularity in India, with a new league attracting young drivers from across the country. The Karting SuperSeries, which was held in five cities, culminated in a grand finale in Hyderabad on Sunday. Rachit Singhal, a 16-year-old from Delhi, won the title. The league was organised by Racing Promotions Private Limited (RPPL), a company founded by professional driver Armaan Ebrahim. Ebrahim said he started the league to create an ecosystem for motorsports in India.

"My primary aim is to create opportunities for young drivers," Ebrahim told ABP Live.  

"We want to make motorsports more accessible and affordable, and we want to show people that it's not just a sport for boys," he said.

The entry fee for the Karting SuperSeries was just 500 rupees. The winners of each race received free karting equipment. Ebrahim said he is also committed to gender diversity in motorsports. He said that one of the four drivers on each team in the Karting SuperSeries had to be female.

"Motorsports is a sport for everyone," Ebrahim said. "We want to show that girls can be just as successful as boys in this sport," he added.

The Karting SuperSeries was a success, and Ebrahim said he plans to expand the league in the future. He said he is also planning to launch an F4 racing series in India in the next year or two.

"We have a lot of talented drivers in India," Ebrahim said. "We want to give them the opportunity to compete at the highest level."

The growth of motorsports in India is a sign of the sport's increasing popularity around the world. Motorsports is now a multi-billion dollar industry, and it is growing rapidly in developing countries like India.

Ebrahim said he is confident that motorsports will continue to grow in India. He said that the country has a large population of young people who are interested in the sport.

"India is a sleeping giant in motorsports," Ebrahim said adding, "I believe that we have the potential to be one of the top motorsports nations in the world."
