GURMEET VIRDI, a business man by profession and India's most accomplished offroader by passion. As a kid, he was always fond of Motor Sports, but he never knew how to fuel his affection. One offroad outing with his friends turned that passion into a life long obsession. At the age of 35, he won his first amateur trophy in offroading and has never looked back since then. 3 times RFC India champion and the only Indian, who has been awarded the winner title in Malaysia - RFC Global Series, 2016. Being the finest offroader in the country, he has a huge fan following and is considered to be the epitome of human endeavour. He was honoured by Mountain Dew in their latest advertisement, starring Hritik Roshan and as an athlete, 2019. It's no easy task to achieve what he has achieved, where one's from India, a country where offroad motorsport is still a niche sport.
He's faught against all the odds and has never given up. As far as he's concerned alot of background homework and skills were to be acquired before he could even think of being a part of such a legendary offroad event like the RFC. His main focus has always been innovation, rather than buying top drawer parts. He developed cutting brakes and rear wheel steering which provided immense advantage. He didn't waste any time getting back home, his preparations for the next one had already been started, and what followed was an another milestone in his career.
