This year, he's been making waves in the Asia Road Racing Championship, representing the TVS Racing Team aboard the TVS RR310 OMC.

An exuberant KY Ahamed expressed his journey from childhood dreams to present reality, stating, "I've always pursued my goal relentlessly, and now, I'm gearing up for my World Championship debut at the Buddh International Circuit next weekend."

Bharat MotoGP Track

The upcoming weekend marks India's inaugural appearance on the MotoGP calendar. Although the layout of the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) remains largely unchanged, several modifications have been implemented to align it with the rigorous standards set by the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). These enhancements encompass track surfacing improvements and a significant expansion of the gravel run-off area. Additionally, organizers have taken extensive safety measures by installing over 1,800 meters of new safety barricading.
