India’s own top performers- Rugved Barguje, Ikshan Shanbhag, and Sarthak Chavan, who impressed in the previous season, will also be back in action. This blend of world-class international athletes and exceptional home-grown talent sets the stage for an exhilarating second season.

Eeshan Lokhande, Co-Founder, Indian Supercross Racing League, said the overwhelming response they had seen in just the first three weeks of Season 2 registrations highlights ISRL’s growing stature in the global motorsport arena.
