Karthikeyan sets sights on Jarama races
Asian Age - March 28, 2003

New Delhi: India’s top racing driver Narain Karthikeyan launches his Telefonica World Series title bid with the first two races of the championship at Spanish circuit Jarama this weekend.

Karthikeyan, largely supported by the Tata Group along with additional backing from JK Tyres and Amaron Batteries, hopes to make it big in the 2003 championships this year.

Karthikeyan, who is the only Indian ever to have test driven a contemporary Formula one car, has moved to British team Carlin Motorsport for this season.

Carlin has already established itself as one of the top teams in the Telefonica World Series, and Karthikeyan and team-mate Bruce Jouanny have been setting excellent lap times in pre-season testing.
