CHENNAI: After a nine-month break, the MRF MMSC FMSCI Indian National Car Racing Championship 2020 will resume in a bio-bubble at the MMRT circuit on Saturday and behind closed doors necessitated by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

MMSC conducted the first round of the National Drag Racing Championship for two-wheelers last month and thus took the lead to resume motorsport activities in the country following easing of restrictions.

"It has been a tough year for everyone due to the pandemic, but after the government eased restrictions and allowed resumption of sporting activities, we conducted the National Drag races last month without incident," said Vicky Chandhok, chairman of the meet.

"This weekend, we go a step further by resuming the four-wheeler championship, again with protocols in place with no compromise on safety and health of all involved by implementing temperature check, hand sanitisation, wearing of masks and physical distancing," he added. IANS
