The five drivers—Amjad Aslam (Thrissur), Sonakshi Paranthaman (Bangalore), Ashwin Pugalagiri (Madurai), Vihaan Bhatt (Bangalore), and Aarathi Panikkar (Kochi)—are among the talented competitors who progressed through SIAL Season 1 and will now take on the challenge of competing in a field of 33 participants.
The event offers these young drivers an opportunity to gain valuable experience in a professional rally environment, testing their skills, consistency, and racecraft under competitive conditions. Their participation reflects the next step in the driver development pathway created through SIAL.
SIAL has been built with a strong focus on identifying and nurturing emerging motorsport talent through structured competition and continuous driver development. The participation of these five Season 1 drivers in the ARCH Rally highlights their growth and showcases the opportunities created through the program.
Vision4 Motorsport Solutions wishes all five drivers the very best as they prepare to compete in the ARCH Rally and continue their journey in Indian motorsport. May they deliver strong performances and make Season 1 proud.
