Following the announcement of Kankanala Sports Group (KSG) signing an exclusive nine-year partnership with FIM E-Explorer to oversee races in India, KSG is excited to announce INDE Racing as a new team for the 2024 FIM E-Xplorer season.
This announcement marks India’s first FIM-licensed team in history which also means that it is the first Indian team to compete in any officially sanctioned international competition. INDE Racing is set to participate in every round of Season 2, spanning from February to November, traversing the challenging tracks in Japan, Norway, France, Switzerland, and culminating in a triumphant homecoming to India.
Abhishek Reddy Kankanala, founder of Kankanala Sports Group and INDE Racing, said, “Despite the growing interest in motorsports in India, we have always missed a competitive independent team to cheer for. With the launch of INDE Racing, we aim to break new grounds in Indian motorsports, not only on the racetrack but also in promoting sustainability, gender equality, and the spirit of innovation.”
The team’s lineup will feature some of the most noted personalities in the Indian motorsport circuit including Aishwarya Pissay, Asia’s first female athlete to win a world championship in 2-wheel motorsport. Accompanying her are two seasoned international riders, including Canadian rider Spenser Wilton and Spanish rider Sandra Gomez, the reigning champion of the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup.
Nevertheless, the team is still looking for a competitive Indian male rider to complete a roster aimed to raise India to the top. To master the demanding courses and elevate their performance, INDE Racing has collaborated with KTM34 garage, situated in Europe’s largest moto complex in Mauguio’s Motopark in France. This partnership ensures that the team’s bikes are professionally tuned, delivering the maximum performance capability.
