00:00 Hi Harit, how are you doing?
00:01 Yeah, hi, good. How are you?
00:03 Yeah, I'm doing good.
00:04 Congrats on your success and bringing the proud to India.
00:07 Hats off to you, man.
00:08 How was your journey in this, you know, like from your childhood till now,
00:14 you know, how fascinated you are in Dhaka?
00:16 I mean, I knew about the Dhaka when I was like five, around five.
00:20 I started watching cassettes.
00:22 My dad used to get every year one cassette.
00:24 I used to watch the cars and I liked the cars.
00:29 But I always thought I had to be 18 to join a race.
00:32 And then I think I grew older after a few years.
00:35 I don't know exactly what, like maybe seven, eight or ten.
00:38 I stopped thinking about, I mean, I didn't know Dhaka.
00:41 Like I just knew like this racing, the desert, I don't know, the name and stuff.
00:46 So then I grew older and I was really interested in cars too.
00:51 But like obviously I was studying and stuff.
00:53 And then there was a race happening down on the paddy fields near my house.
00:59 And I ended up taking part in the race because I watched them train a few days before the race.
01:06 And I was interested and my dad said, why don't you try?
01:09 I tried and I finished last.
01:12 And that's when I was like, OK, I want to try to do it more and try to get better.
01:16 And yeah, and then I kept getting better, I guess, and kept training.
01:22 And a few years later, I joined TVS Racing and won a few championships,
01:28 a massive championships with them.
01:30 And then they were the first manufacturer taking part in the Dhaka.
01:34 Then I saw an opportunity there.
01:37 I talked to them, you know, I can start doing some rallies.
01:41 And I did and I did not too bad.
01:45 And yeah, and then I did my first Dhaka.
01:47 And then I've been going for every Dhaka after that.
01:52 OK, great.
01:52 Since you mentioned the TVS, so I have two questions related to that.
01:57 When did you join with TVS and how is your association with TVS?
02:01 And how did it impact your career as well?
02:05 So I joined in 2012.
02:07 I was one of the riders to show the contract space.
02:10 And yeah, obviously, we started off easy and then we kept working together.
02:18 Now, obviously, I get all the support from them from, you know,
02:22 giving me whatever I need to get better.
02:24 And, you know, going for the Dhaka and trying to do our best there.
02:30 We feel like we are a team and, you know,
02:35 there's like if something goes wrong, everything goes wrong for us as a team.
02:40 And something goes right like this year, you know, everything goes right with us.
02:46 So I hope you faced a lot of challenges in this Dhaka current race.
02:50 What are the struggles you have faced?
02:52 So for me, the first day was really bad.
02:55 I had a really bad headache and I had cramps everywhere.
02:59 I think I was dehydrated.
03:00 I almost quit the first day.
03:03 OK.
03:04 Feeling really bad.
03:05 But I somehow managed to finish.
03:08 Then the rest of the week was OK.
03:10 Had some problems towards the end of the week with some fuel problems.
03:15 Like the sand in the fuel tank.
03:17 So we had some problems with the bike because of that.
03:22 And then, yeah, the last day of the first week, I got sick.
03:28 I got a cold and sore brain and for the whole second week, I was kind of sick.
03:33 But yeah, somehow managed to stay together and take it to the end.
03:40 Cool, cool.
03:42 So even though all the struggles, still you are the fastest guy in Dhaka.
03:46 That's off your mind.
03:47 What's your future plan in motorsports?
03:49 Like, you know, in the rally.
03:51 So right now you are in Rally 2.
03:54 So is there any, you know, aim to participate in Rally GP?
03:59 Yeah, so I actually was Rally GP till this Dhaka FU race.
04:03 I downgraded to Rally 2.
04:06 OK.
04:07 It's good to, you know, get a little extra motivation for myself to be better.
04:13 And I think it really worked and I think it was a perfect choice with me and my team.
04:19 And fast getting back to things, I will sit down with the team and discuss how we're going to go forward.
04:24 OK, so I have my last question.
04:28 What do you have to say to Indians who's looking to this motorsport like in the Dhaka?
04:34 I feel like if you're interested in it, for sure, like learn more about it,
04:38 put your heart into it, try your best.
04:41 A lot is possible.
04:42 OK, great.
04:44 Way more than what you can think.
04:45 Not everything is possible.
04:47 So, you know, just keep working hard and you'll get far and probably more far than you can think.
04:57 So, cool.
04:58 Wishing you all the very best for near future, you know.
05:03 I mean, championships and other stuff.
05:04 Thank you so much.
05:05 And thank you, TVGames, for giving us this opportunity.
