Performance bike maker Ducati announced their first Ducati India Race Cup (DIRC). The race will be held alongside the season finale of Volkswagen Ameo Cup 2019. These races will be held in October 2019 at Buddh International Circuit, Greater Noida.
Ducati collaborated with Volkswagen Motorsports India for the above-said race. Moreover, it will be the first time that DIRC will be held alongside Volkswagen’s Ameo Cup.
Sergi Canovas, M.D. of Ducati India said, “In 2018, Ducati showcased its racing DNA by winning at the JK Tyre National Superbike Racing Championship and now, Ducati is proud to bring its very own one-make race along with Volkswagen Motorsport India. This year, we are also looking to organize not just another DRE Track day but are also working on having certified DRE instructors in India itself so that they can provide individual training to keen Ducati riders before the race. Ducati India is thankful to Volkswagen Motorsports India for this collaboration.”
