"In today's day and age, it's not supposed to be legal"

We speak to Rushab Shah, India's first road racing athlete to compete in the International Road Racing Championship in Frohburg earlier this year.

There’s a thin line between greatness and crazy in certain types of motorsport, and true artistry lies in navigating it carefully. Nobody tells it like it is other than Rushab Shah.

While in series like F1 drivers reach speeds of 360 km/h in sophisticated carbon-fiber cockpits on highly regulated circuits, there exists another kind of racing that is the complete opposite.

Enter: Road Racing.

Riders on sports bikes hitting 200+ km/h through towns—racing past homes, skimming over manholes, and weaving around roundabouts.

No one in India had ventured into road racing until Rushab came along.

With every race, he places both himself and India on the global road racing map, building his and every future road-racer in the country’s foundation for the ultimate challenge: the Isle of Man TT.
