The training course offered 24 riders a chance to be trained through a grueling 4-day camp which took the participants through 4 levels of proficiency. The first two levels of the course will took place on February 16th and 17th, 2010 with the final two levels taking place on February 20th and 21st, 2010.

Mr. T. T. Varadarajan, Managind Director of Preethi and an avid motorsports enthusiast himself, said,”We want to set up a platform where we can help talented youngsters who do not have the means to access world class coaching facilities. Being proficient in riding motorcycles for racing or street  riding is all about managing power, enhancing individual performance and perfecting safety. These are synonymous with Preethi’s values for its brand portfolio of home appliances.”
