The HinduThe third season of the Indian Racing Festival began last month at the Madras International Circuit on the outskirts of Chennai, followed by the second round at the Chennai Formula Racing Circuit, a first-of-its-kind night street race in India. “After returning to India, I started giving guest lectures, and the problems I saw 10 years ago were still there in that there was no real platform for someone who wants to be a motorsport engineer,” Sangodkar explained on what prompted him to start U.M.A. So, I offered to take up this vertical.” For Sangodkar, the aim in four to five years is for Indians to make up 80% of the engineers in the F4 India championship.
