Speaking about his feat, Mr. Singhania said, “It’s a dream come true to score a double whammy and keep the India flag flying high in an international circuit! The build up to a race was a feeling of pure bliss for every racing fanatic. Race day was really a big day for me as I raced at Brands Hatch 32 years after learning to race here. Winning two races back to back was thrilling given that I was participating for the first time.”
