Silverstone: Karun Chandhok, has become the first Indian to be invited to join the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC).

Stuart Pringle, Secretary, BRDC, said “The BRDC is a Club for the very best racing drivers from Great Britain and the Commonwealth. Karun is the first Indian driver to meet the exacting entry requirements of success in international motor sport, but I am quite sure he just is the first of many of his countrymen and women.... we are delighted to welcome him as a member of the Club. ”

Accepting the membership, Karun said: “BRDC is our racing equivalent of becoming a member of the MCC in Lord’s or The All England Lawn Tennis club at Wimbledon.

“I feel very proud to be the first person from my country to join the BRDC. Racing in the UK has been a huge part of my life, and my career and it’s a great feeling to be recognised by the people over here.”
