Kayan Patel Wins Gold At Chennai National Championships

Motorbike racing champ, Kayan Zubin Patel won three trophies at the ‘MRF MMSC FMSCI Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship 2022’, which was held on the 1st and 2nd of October, 2022, in Chennai.

Kayan displayed one of his finest performances ever on 2nd October in the final race of the 165cc Category, where he competed against 32 other professional bikers who were participating from across India. Kayan was also the only Parsi participant in this race, representing Mumbai, Maharashtra.

Despite not getting off to a great start, starting from P2 and running 5th position after the 6-laps race, in the second lap, Kayan pulled a braver move at high speed, beating all four riders ahead of him, in only corner. This move secured him the gold, making the Patel racing family, Mumbai and of course, the community proud of him, for having won the Nationals.

Kayan finished a very hard-fought 2nd place in the Honda Hornet Race, the youngest in this category, amongst the most experienced riders in the country! Even so, Kayan raced his way to the second position from the fifth.

Kayan thanks his Teams Axor Sparks Racing, Motor Parts India and Speed Merchant, for their support. He also thanks his family and friends for always cheering him on. Kayan is looking for a sponsorship for next year’s racing season, for which he is promoted to the Pro-Category, where he will compete with the nation’s number one riders. As motorsports is an expensive sport, Kayan looks to getting support from the Community, especially since he is the only competing Parsi representative.

Re-emphasizing his safety message to all race-enthusiasts, Kayan insists, “Say no to street racing. If you want to race, come on the tracks!”
