Vento Cup driver selection this weekend
Pune: Volkswagen Motorsport India’s recently announced Vento Cup 2015 will see the second round of driver selection this weekend here.
Being conducted on the same lines as the first selection, this round will be held at the Indi Karting Track in Kharadi where drivers willing to compete in the one-make touring car racing series can prove their mettle and get selected.
The selection would be taking place through Go-Karting sessions conducted by Vento Cup driver coach Rayomand Banajee. The first round of selection took place Feb 14 and 15.
Final selection would be done on the basis of the overall skills, covering consistency, understanding of racing lines, speed, lap times and acceptance for learning.
The finalists will compete in the Volkswagen Vento Cup 2015 which will commence later this year and will be conducted at different circuits.
“At the first round of selection, we saw some talented drivers coming forward. We have shortlisted some and will shortlist some more this weekend. The final selected drivers will then be put through some training in our race cars and through fitness regimes to prepare them for the upcoming season,” Volkswagen Motorsport India head Sirish Vissa said.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
