SRK now planning for the motor racing league
MUMBAI: Superstar Shahrukh Khan after buying an IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, now eying a stake in the Indian Racing League.
The motor racing league, called the i1 Super Series was launched in August this year. At its launch event, Machdar Motorsports, the promoters had announced that the series, based on the popular city based franchisee format, would have nine teams representing nine different cities in the country including Delhi, Chennai and other metros.
The first edition of the motor sports event is scheduled to hit the tracks in January next year. SRK’s company is considering the prospects of investment in the Mumbai franchise but nothing is clear as yet.
“Personally I don’t know much. I haven’t met anyone. My company is looking at it. They had talks with them,” Shahrukh told reporters here.
His cricket team KKR did not played very well in the three editions of the cash-rich tournament but in the fourth season, this year, it reached the semi-finals.
