Yamaha YZF R15 One Make Race Round 4 kick-starts

It is the fourth season of Yamaha YZF-R15 One Make Race Championship, and after successfully completing the 3 rounds this season, the 4th round of the championship will commence today at the Madras Motor Race Track, Chennai. This championship will be followed by one more round and will conclude on 15th December 2013. The racing event is being organized in association with the Madras Motor Sports Club (MMSC) and the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) and is a part of the Indian National Racing Championship 2013. The race will be held in two categories – Novice and Open. The qualifying round for the Novice and Open category will be held on 4th October, 2013. The top performing participants in the qualifying rounds of both Novice & Open category will participate in the two races of their respective category on 5th and 6th October, 2013.

The contestants will hit the track on Yamaha’s Super Sports YZF- R15 version 2.0 and experience the breathtaking acceleration of the bike on the race circuit. The technology in YZF-R15 has percolated from R1 (Deltabox frame/Fuel Injection/6 speed gearbox/styling/Liquid Cooled 4V engine). Just like R1, it is light weight, has power on demand, besides having centralized mass, stopping power, aerodynamics, ergonomics and stability/rigidity, among others. It also has the controllability and maneuverability to maximize riding/cornering/braking performance. Loaded with true Yamaha racing DNA, YZF- R15 will provide a complete racing experience to the biking aficionados and hands on feel of its power, stability, cornering and braking. Yamaha will make their experience more exciting by fitting Daytona Racing Kits in the bikes. These kits are developed using valuable experience gained from MotoGP & World Superbike racing and are designed exclusively for racing purposes in a closed circuit.

Commenting on the occasion Mr. Roy Kurian, Vice President – Sales & Marketing, Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt. Ltd. said “We are very pleased with the increase in participation that we’ve witnessed this year. We’ve always considered motorsports to be an integral part of our corporate philosophy and the R15 One Make Race certainly is an excellent platform for us to connect with our customers. We’ve really come a long way since 2010 when we first started the R15 One Make Race Championships in India. It has always been our endeavor to popularize racing culture in India and this event in particular has indeed helped us gain ground. We look forward to organizing more such events in order to provide our customers an opportunity to experience the combined thrill of superior technology and artistic brilliance for which Yamaha is known the world over.”

The winners of the R15 One make Race championship 2013 will be representing India Yamaha Motor at the Yamaha ASEAN Cup 2013 to be held later this year.
