The inclusion of young karting talents is brilliant! Shows India's racing future is in good hands. Hope they get proper safety measures though - those speeds can be dangerous for kids.

Great initiative but I hope they've considered the environmental impact. High-performance events like this can leave a big carbon footprint. Maybe offset it with some green initiatives?
