India's motorsport scene will soon be back on track: Narain Karthikeyan

Speaking at India Today’s South Conclave on Monday, September 8, India’s first-ever Formula One driver and Padma Shri awardee Narain Karthikeyan said interest in racing is growing, fueled by the popularity of shows like Drive to Survive, which put F1 on the global map and made motorsport more accessible to the public.

"I think it's only a matter of time before the motorsport ecosystem gets back on its feet. Parents today belong to generations who have seen documentaries and F1 films, and they’re encouraging their children to take up the sport. That momentum is building, and the ecosystem is coming together nicely," Karthikeyan said.
