Mika Hakkinen to open India’s first international karting arena India is all set to get its first FIA-CIK-approved karting track. The new facility, christened Madras International Karting Arena (MIKA), will be inaugurated by Formula 1 World Champion Mika Hakkinen on September 19.
MIKA is located at the Madras International Circuit near Chennai. It boasts a 1.2 km track designed by Driven International, a UK-based motorsport design firm, with inputs from former F1 driver Karun Chandhok.
The establishment of the new world-class karting facility in India will not only aid the development of local racing talent but will also reduce the expenses of training and competing for budding racers by hosting international events like the World Rotax finals.
