Motorsport catches league fever

The third edition of the CEAT Pune Invitational Supercross League will be an eight-team, three-city affair, with Indian and foreign riders set to go under the hammer for the first time in the history of motorsport.

The auction, to be held in Pune on November 2, will feature 40 Indian and eight international riders. Nashik (November 8-9), Kolhapur (November 15-16) and Pune from (December 12-14) will host the rounds.

SKP High Rollers, San Racing, Aranha Racing, Team Amanora Park Town, BU Bhandari Motorsports, and Bhalla Royale — all Pune-based owners — have committed themselves to the league conceptualised by VILO Events.

Vishal Barguje, Harith Noah, Pramod Joshua, VS Naresh, R Natraj and Madhu are some of the Indian riders in the fray.
