Likewise, the JK Tyre Novice Cup winners also felt important on the awards night, where an audio visual presentation captured the journey of JK Tyre in rallying and racing over the years. “In fact, we completed 26 years as the first year was not counted as we had to prove ourselves,” saidHead-Motorsports, JK Tyre, Sanjay Sharma, in an emotional speech on the stage.
