In the 250 cc India-Asia mix category, Thanarat Penjan continued his winning streak while riding a Kawasaki.

Ceat Indian Supercross Racing League: Categories
There are a total of four categories in this event: 450cc, 250cc, 250cc India/Asia mix, and Junior 85cc. While the other three categories scored important points in the first round, the Junior 85cc category had a demonstration run. As if that weren't exciting enough, each team chose a senior racer to compete in an exciting all-star race. When competitors on 250cc and 450cc motorcycles raced side by side on a specially constructed track, the level of competitiveness reached unprecedented heights.
When it comes to season-long performance, BigRock Motorsports has never been beaten. Their riders have proven themselves to be worthy champions with their exceptional talent and consistent performance. The first season has come to a close, and fans can't wait for the second, which promises to be even more massive and exciting than the first.
There was a lot of pressure on the riders and teams competing in the inaugural event of its type in India to overcome the obstacles of the hot weather and the complex course design in Bangalore. The event's organisers are eager to grow the event despite these obstacles, stressing that the motivation isn't just financial. Rather than concentrating on financial considerations, they are dedicated to finding the best riders and helping them develop their talents.
