Race Wars India 2022 returned with season 2 on April 3 at the support paddock of the Buddh International Circuit, with a brand new track layout. The twin-track autocross event was attended by more than 90 participants, of whom over 50 per cent were newcomers. Organised by BND Motorsport, the event has become a fan-favourite among enthusiasts, who were treated to the sight of modified monsters including Maruti Esteems, Volkwagen Polos, Honda Citys and Maruti Suzuki Swifts, among other models. There were also exotic cars present such as a Ferrari 458, Porsche Cayman 718, Audi S6 and S4 and BMW M340i.

This was Vidit Jain’s second overall title in Race Wars, bringing him level at the top with Shrivatsa Somany. The two drivers have had a rivalry going in the past few seasons, and with things tied at the top now, it will be very interesting to see who triumphs next season. Race Wars 2022 Season 2 was host to a number of events on a twin-tarmac autocross track. The new autocross layout was challenging for the drivers as they learnt new lines and adapted to the technical layout.
