00:00 So we are at Arvani Grid today for the Red Rabbit Racers Talent Scouting Program and
00:09 we are thrilled to announce that DriveSpark is the official media partner for this event.
00:14 Actually it was my first time.
00:17 It was really good, the weather was great, the competition was nice.
00:29 Welcome to DriveSpark, my name is Vedant Johari.
00:32 Future planning to make India proud.
00:41 And here the Red Rabbit Racers are looking for young talent to showcase their skill not
00:54 only in India but globally, they participate in events in Dubai, Singapore, Malaysia, you
01:00 name it, they do it.
01:03 So now at the Talent Scouting Program we have four rounds.
01:07 First, the practice and qualifying, second the knockout rounds, third semi-finals and
01:11 fourth sub-finals.
01:12 So far we have done the knockouts and the practice and qualifying and it has been a
01:17 blast.
01:18 The amount of talent we have seen, the youngsters who are here, we have seen people who are
01:22 12, 13, 14 years old participating and actually beating all the others.
01:26 So let's take a look at how this event is going, let's see the amount of passion that's
01:32 there, let's talk to some of the people who have raced and let's see their inputs on how
01:36 this event is going.
01:44 What is the Red Rabbit Talent Scouting Event?
01:50 Red Rabbit is looking for talent of all ages from anywhere in India just to showcase their
01:55 skills and to build on what they already have.
01:58 Now this event comes in four rounds, the practice and qualifying, the knockouts, semi-finals
02:05 and the finals.
02:06 The practice and qualifying is just to get an understanding of how fast you are, your
02:12 skill levels in terms of the other competitors here.
02:15 Then we come into the knockout rounds, now in the knockout rounds that's when the fun
02:18 actually starts.
02:19 In each round, only the top three of each group has eight racers in them, so it's a
02:24 battle right from the first lap all the way till the finish line and it's just unreal
02:29 amounts of adrenaline and fun and what not.
02:33 After the knockout rounds, we have the semi-finals.
02:36 Semi-finals, I mean as the name suggests, that's when everyone is really at the top
02:41 of the game just to make it to the finals, just to get that chance of actually securing
02:46 the victory and holding the trophy in their hands.
02:49 Now coming to the finals, the finals, well, they're the finals, you need to push your
02:54 hardest, not only at the top of your game, you need to have the proper concentration,
02:59 the proper skill level to actually do what you want to actually be able to succeed in
03:04 motorsporting.
03:05 So the finals is all about pushing yourself while also being content in your mind.
03:18 Red Rabbit Racers is a team that's not too old, they're relatively new in the game, but
03:23 they have hit the motorsporting industry with a bang.
03:27 They host talent scouting events, they host level one, level two, Rotax training and you
03:33 name it, they also take talent abroad to places like Singapore, Malaysia, just to get them,
03:39 just to give them that international level of training with actual certified international
03:44 trainers.
03:45 And on international grade circuits, the Gokarting track located right next to the
03:50 Singapore F1 circuit, that is the only track globally that you can drive forward and reverse
03:56 with it actually keeping up with the level, with the quality of international standards.
04:01 Now let's go interview some of the people participating in the event, let's go talk
04:05 to them to see what they feel about this event and how they feel about the motorsports industry.
04:09 Hi, I'm Sarah Joseph, I'm studying BBA Branding and Advertising in Mount Carmel.
04:26 I'm from Kochi.
04:31 I've not done this, this is the first time I'm in a championship.
04:38 So earlier I used to race with my friends and I was pretty good at that.
04:46 My first event was with them in Trishul.
04:50 I secured first prize for Rising Star, that gave me motivation to like go forward.
04:57 And then I did my training with them, my level one training and then now I'm here.
05:04 I started with Red Rabbit Racers back in 2021 and my first event was Kerala Talent Scout.
05:09 So I went, participated and couldn't win.
05:13 Pretty nice and the track is quite wide and quite fun to drive on and it's been a nice
05:22 experience till now.
05:24 I kept trying, didn't want to give up and then Kerala 2023, yes happened where luckily
05:31 I won.
05:32 I've been interested in motorsports from a very young age.
05:35 It's always there I've thought that can't be done by me because it's a financially
05:40 tight sport.
05:41 But yeah, I mean when Cuban events like this and if you can secure a scholarship I think
05:46 that's going to be a good help to people who are struggling with finance and who want to
05:50 race.
05:51 I won.
05:52 Actually it was my first time and let's see I'll be going for training but yeah it was
06:01 a first time experience.
06:02 We drive cars and after age I have like now my two cars.
06:08 So it's like I want to grow in this only and my main motive is cars, cars, cars.
06:14 If I'm like I want to get this car, I want to get this car.
06:17 So that's like that.
06:18 Hi, my name is Jason Sylvester and I'm 22 years old.
06:26 Pretty exciting.
06:27 I've been waiting for the timing so I can know where I place and better myself for the
06:31 next upcoming event.
06:32 I was influenced by my brother actually.
06:35 So he's really into the automobiles and all of that.
06:39 So he's actually what got me into it and from there it just took off and it became my passion
06:44 from there on.
06:45 Hi, my name is Dona.
06:46 I'm 14 years old.
06:47 I'm studying in 8th standard.
06:48 So I started with Red Rabbits because of my coach Sava Satyanarayana.
06:49 He went with Red Rabbits team to Dubai, he told about me.
07:01 So they like my racing style and all.
07:03 So they contacted with my dad, told me to attend the first level 1 training in Mecca,
07:08 Autopia.
07:09 Then got trained there for two strokes and got to know Deep Sir.
07:14 Deep Sir told me to come to Dubai, Singapore, went with them and went to Hyderabad, got
07:20 a podium.
07:21 Hi, I'm Vijay.
07:22 I've been part of Red Rabbit races from last year.
07:27 Chennai was my first talent scouting.
07:30 So there I was the R3 performer.
07:33 So this is actually my third TS with them.
07:35 Actually I'm hoping for P1 this time.
07:37 I really wanted to go to Singapore.
07:39 The thing was I started following racing back when I was in my +2.
07:43 So since then, since racing is expensive, it was very difficult that time to, because
07:50 the primary source is my parents.
07:51 So it's very difficult to convince them.
07:53 I'm Alassan Saeed.
07:56 I'm 16 years old.
07:57 I am in the 11th standard now.
08:00 I started in motorsport through simulator.

08:39 It's my first time as well doing any event like this or even standing on a podium like

08:48 The whole mood throughout the whole day was just wonderful and it felt really, it was
08:56 really great.

09:09 Bull.
09:10 So we do various events in gaming, in motorsports and various events around India.
09:17 So that's basically what Monster is.
09:19 And then Monster is growing.
09:21 We are sponsoring various drag races that happen in Bangalore.
09:25 So we are growing when you see the part of motorsport.
09:32 This was the Red Rabbit Racer Talent Scouting Program and all I can say is that was a blast.
09:37 Right from competing in it to watching each of the batches, each of the groups go out
09:41 on track, it was a thrill to be here.
