I'm exceptionally happy to say that, today I have got an opportunity to interview one of the best Bikers of Bangalore. Let me thank the Castrol Power 1 Team for giving me such a wonderful opportunity.

He is one of the most renowned racer. His passion is not only for Bike Racing but also for Car Racing. He loves to ride and can usually be seen more on his vehicle than one can ever see him in home. Let us know more about his passion, shall we? Well, what are we waiting for? Lets go right ahead.

Mr. Varun Satyanarayana

Hello Mr.Varun. Can you please tell us introduce yourself to us?

My name is Varun and I love motorsports. I have taken part in TSD rallies, bike and car stage rallies, auto cross and I have a list of other motorsports I need to strike off from my list.

Wow, That's really nice. 

Do you mind if I ask you a few questions so that myself and my friends can get to know about you and your passion?

Not at all. Please go ahead. It would be an honor.

      How did your passion for biking begin?

  My passion for biking had always been inside me as I used to follow 

motocross and motogp from my school days. 

It became more after coming in contact with friends who used to race and rally in India

  Which according to you is the best bike?

In India, Yamaha has always been my favorite. Yamaha RX and YBX to be precise. 

There are other bikes I like as well like Suzuki Fiero ,

my liking for bikes goes on how well you can they perform off road than on road with little mods.

                 You have been to many races, how many have you won?

I have been in the top 3 in most of my races or rallies, 

won quite a few. 

Have been national champion in TSD rallies 2007 and 

Indian National Rally Champion in 2009 in 1600 cc category 

 What have you learnt from them?

Rallying has given me a lot of lessons in life. 

It brings the best out of you mentally and physically, the situations and conditions make you tough. 

It make you a lot responsible and respect the rules on the normal roads.

     Do you think Bike Racing is Dangerous or Fun? Why So?

Bike racing is dangerous if you are not trained, 

if you have not practiced and if you are not wearing the safety gears. 

It’s fun when you have practiced well, using the riding gears and have a well prepared bike.

 

Rallying Brings the best out of you physically and mentally

I would like Valentino Rossi’s bike from Team Yamaha.

If you could race with anyone whom would you choose?

I would like to race 4 of my idols Valentino Rossi (MotoGP), Michael Schumacher (F1), 

Sebastian Lobe (WRC) and Travis Pastrana (MotoX).

Competition is tough from any one on any day. 

It’s your best or his best on that day. Sorry cant name one.
