2016 Honda Asia Dream Cup Comes To BIC, India

Chennai, 22nd June 2016:  Honda today announced that the Round 5 of the 2016 Asia Dream Cup will be held at the Buddh International Circuit, Greater Noida from 29th September to 2nd October 2016. Motorsports enthusiasts in India will be able to witness an international-level racing action this year ever since the exit of Formula 1 post the 2013 Indian GP.

The state-of-art racing track lately has been host to few domestic motorsports event, award functions and vehicle testing ground. But this year, the BIC will witness a comeback of international racing action thanks to Honda.

An added excitement will be an opportunity to witness two young Indians and Honda riders – Hari Krishnan and Sethu Rajiv take on the best riders in the world. Hari Krishnan has been in a prolific form in his debut season at the Asia Dream Cup and has already bagged 2 podium finishes (Second at Round 2 in Thailand; and Third at Round 3 in Japan) after the first 3 rounds.

Speaking on his fledging career and his future prospects, Hari Krishnan, the 19-year old rider from Chennai said, “I am thankful to Honda for not only giving me an opportunity to compete with international riders, but also for investing in us. The last one-year has been a huge learning curve. Our success in the Asia Dream Cup is testimony to the support and training we have received from Honda. It has always been a dream to represent India on international-stage, and to be able to do in in front of our home-crowd will make the occasion even more special.  The BIC-leg presents us a golden opportunity to make a mark for ourselves internationally and in India.”

Asia Dream Cup is the brain-child of Honda Motor Company, Japan. Through this unique racing activity, Honda gives riders a platform to develop riding skills comparable to the best of Asian riders.
