City`s Raheesh Khatri can’t wait to compete against 30 top racers from the UK, USA, New Zealand and India to show his prowess on the racetrack after Wilson Racing signed him for the 2024 British Talent Cup recently. Raheesh, 16, became the first Indian racer to have the honour. Riding the Honda NSF250R, the Moto3 machine, Raheesh will first fly to Spain for Round One scheduled on April 20 and 21, followed by seven rounds in the UK.

It has been a tough journey for the teenaged rider. He has braved major injuries like facial paralysis and multiple fractures besides not getting enough financial support for the past 12 years to train and race internationally.
