Hi Sandeep,
Could you please guide me on joining iracing ? It has been four years now that I have been watching NASCAR sprint cup series and playing Nascar Thunder 2003 on my pc. I feel pretty confident about my driving skills.
Could you tell me what all i need to have before I join iracing ?

I liked this interview. Sandeep has given a little insight to his part of the world. I know from the forum, he is an intelligent and friendly read. Good Luck Sandeep 1 in a Billion!

Go, Sandeep, go! A good friend of mine grew up in Chennai. He now lives in the USA and is a big motorsports fan. I need to get him on iRacing!

I am from Bangalore.

I hear you are the man to beat in iRacing. I will look you up and add you as a friend. Hope to learn from you and meet you some day on track (virtually that is). Though we seem to prefer different kind of tracks, you never know.

Nice, Mahesh! Where in India are you from?

By: Mahesh Rumale

Mahesh Rumale — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:12:51 +0000

Hey, I am an Indian. I am currently in the US but still an Indian racing on iRacing. And to add to the subject more Indians watch F1 than Sprint Cup or Nascar. Quarter of the Indian population who watch any motor sport wouldn’t even know anything except F1 and Rallying. Since F1 is telecast-ed in India and Rallying has been one of the more well known sport in India.

Nice to know more folks are out there, and here I was thinking I was the lone guy. Hehehehe

Personally I like Road tracks more than the ovals.

Cheers Sandeep.

Thanks guys.

Ant, isn’t LFS a pay-and-play software too? I know it’s certainly not free to buy the initial software so it can’t be an issue of not being able to afford iRacing because at the very least, they could’ve tried the iRacing 1-month trial which gives 3 cars and tracks. I would assume those are more likely numbers of those who tried the demo as the demo was put on a lot of companion CDs to computer magazines here so a lot of people might’ve tried it out just like any other game demo on the CDs.

Nice story, thanks Jason.

It got me thinking surely there are more Indian sim racers than Sandeep. So i did a bit of digging & guess what? I found most of them!. Seven Hundred & Eighty Three Indian LFS sim racers.

I would guess they just cant afford it but they are out there.

Very interesting interview. Nice work. I’m really surprised Sandeep is the only sim racer in iRacing from India! I’m sure there will be more at some point.

Any way possible Ray, streams, downloads, or on TV if it’s live.

Thanks to Jason for doing the interview.

Nice article! Do they carry NASCAR races live in India, or do you rely on Internet streaming or tape-delay coverage? Good work Jason and Sand-man

“Thanks to Sandeep Banerjee, Force India is not India’s only international motorsports presence.”
these words are totally not true. Narain Karthikeyan, Armaan Ebrahim and Karun Chandhok are (i think) pretty well known international race car drivers from India
