Alumini’s Words

Real storiets from students who’ve paddled out, stood up, and fallen in love with the waves.

Being a part of F4 & IRL not only helped me develop valuable technical skills, but also helped me in making important new connections and connecting with like minded individuals, opening doors to opportunities outside of F4 and widening my skillset.

The pits are where you need to be calm-minded and be aware of all the times. This has really helped me to tackle difficult situations from time to time. No task is too small, and minor contributions can lead to your team's success. Apart from this, I learnt about car setups, race strategy, post-race analysis and briefings. Also doing pitstops, setups and going to race during the rains were an absolute chaotic delight!

Indian F4 and IRL championships both were my entryway into the motorsports industry. It was a place where I learnt to connect my theoretical knowledge to practical situations. The championships helped me understand the ways of this world while developing my technical skills, discipline, work ethic and helping me meet many inspirations along the way.
