MUMBAI: Former Asia-Pacific Rally champion Sanjay Takale of Maharashtra will represent India at the forthcoming 2nd edition of the FIA World Motorsports Games to be held at the iconic superfine tarmac Circuit Paul Ricard in Marseille, France, from October 26 to 30.
Takale was recommended by the Federation of Motorsports Clubs of India (FMSCI), the national governing body of the sport, to the world governing body, FIA (Federation Internationale l'Automobile). The 2022 FIA World Motorsports Games are happening after a two-year gap due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
"This will be the first time I am going to represent India, which makes this opportunity very special," said Takale addressing a media conference here ahead of his departure for France.
Takale will be behind the wheels of the French car Peugeot and competing in the Rally4 class of competition.
Takale will be supported by aerpace — a futuristic drone-based logistic transportation system company launched by young visionaries from Mumbai in 2019, who have been working on the dream project. Aerpace has its vision to inspire the world to move through cities in smarter and more sustainable ways through drone technology. IANS
