Chennai, 13th August 2009

Half the season has finished in the British Motorcycle Racing Club (BMRC) Championship in United Kingdom and our Indian Rider Emmanuel Gnanaraj has been successful so far having secured 12th place in the 600 cc Rookie Open Championship out of nearly 40 British and European Riders.. The next round is scheduled on 22-23 August 2009 @ Cadwell Park. Emmanuel has been finishing in top 10 positions in almost all the races, except in Snetterton wherein his Crashing had cost him a lot to put the bike back in shape.

"A lot of work has been done to his Yamaha R6 and the bike is ready for the next round at Cadwell Park Circuit with a new look, Emmanuel has been working hard in the gym and in perfect shape to face next half of the season" says Hari Bose,Team Manager, HRV Racing India. The season started with 44 riders & 33 of them has managed to score points so far and Emmanuel has moved up to 12th place in the Championship.

When asked about the future plans, Emmanuel said "I am concentrating on the current season at the moment, aiming to get into top 10 position in the Championship table by next round. Sponsorship has always been a struggle this season being an Indian and competing against British riders in their own country has limited the number of potential sponsors that we can approach. I might race in India or Malaysia or UAE Championship in Dubai next year, depending on the sponsor. I would like to thank all my sponsors so far especially from India and my team HRV Racing and my friends and fans for all their support."

indmotorsport.com wishes Gnanaraj all the very best.
