FMSCI President Akbar Ebrahim: The Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India’s Annual Awards function will be held here on Wednesday to honour the 105 National champions of the 2023 season across various disciplines, promoters and sponsors. Special awards will be presented to winners of international competitions.

Reviewing the 2023 season, FMSCI President Akbar Ebrahim said: “We are happy that motorsport in India made rapid strides in the season gone by with several firsts. One of the highlights was FIM MotoGP making its India debut, something we had announced during the FMSCI awards gala in 2022. The response was tremendous, and it put India firmly on the global motorsport map.

“The other big push came by way of launching franchise based Supercross recently. A refurbished Indian Racing League and Formula 4 races attracted pan-India talent and also foreign competitors," he was quoted as saying in a release on Tuesday.
