00:00This is Formula 4 and the Indian Racing League, they're two separate formats and I'm happy
00:10being here on the Circuit Kari Speedway.
00:18I was approached by Akhil Reddy, the owner of the racing RPPL.
00:26He approached me, I love the idea of endorsing Formula 4, obviously then you get to Formula
00:323, then Formula 2, and Formula 1 that's unaffordable.
00:37So I'm happy doing this.
00:40I feel that in India, motorsport is still growing, we're still far away from it, definitely
00:52we need to popularize it more, and if you don't see it live, like you did today, when
00:58you see it live, you'll understand how these guys are driving it, it's unbelievable.
01:06So I think it's a very beautiful sport, it's very safe, like you see in every track, there's
01:11an area called a run-off area, so if you misjudge something, you can go to the run-off area,
01:17so it's not dangerous, like in our public roads, it's great to do it in a very safe
01:25environment.
01:26So according to me, the youngsters, or the parents who want to encourage their youngsters
01:31to go into motorsport, to do it in a sporting way is the best way to do it, in a good environment.
01:42Yes, no absolutely, you're right, it's a very, very valid point.
01:46It's a very expensive sport, and I can't do anything about it.
01:51It is really a very expensive sport, like you see in Formula 1, there are certain drivers
01:57who have their seats because of their fathers, and you know, it's like, it is what it is,
02:08but there are a lot of drivers who are very deserving, and I guess everybody gets this
02:14chance, like in motorcycling, you have the Red Bull Rookies Cup, it's a very expensive
02:23sport in motorcycling, but not as much as Formula 1, but there you get people who are
02:27completely new, who have come from backgrounds where they don't have any money, and if they
02:34are talented, they can reach the top, like Brad Binder from South Africa, Casey Stoner
02:40from Australia, so you get interesting champions.
02:45Well, I love sport, so at this time, I will concentrate on films and sport only, if something
02:51interesting happens in life, like I am looking at manufacturing, which is a very serious
02:57venture of mine, helmets, I want to do something for safety, and I have been talking about
03:03this for a year, so yeah, I will try to make what I make, it looks good, but a very important
03:12thing is to explain to the safety and your audience how to take care of your helmet,
03:18because that protects your head, so I am going to do that.
