Volkswagen Motorsport India has always focussed on the fitness of the drivers and has been organizing racing series for a long time. Taking ahead their legacy, they have now announced a premium one-make touring car race series known as the Vento Cup 2015. This series will begin in August 2015 and is a part of the 18th JK Tyre Racing Championship. For this purpose, a fitness camp and a pre-season test has been organized by them.
There were a lot of fitness drills and dedicated sessions for each driver with the trainer so that they could walk on the path most suitable for them. This path included the best fitness regime and the various exercises that they needed to perform throughout the season so that they could give their best in the series and remain totally fit at the same time.
Other than a session with the trainer, a session with a nutritionist was also provided to each racer so that they could learn about the diet chart that they must follow. A personalised diet chart was prepared for them based on the BMI of the participant.
All the racers of the Vento Cup 2015 endured a two-day Fitness Camp organized in Bengaluru. The famous Olympic boxer Sumit Sangwan was also present at the venue to provide insights on the fitness of the participants of an athlete so that a wave of inspiration could flow through the participants. In the meantime, Deckline Leitao gave special training to the participants and made them go through a number of challenges during the two days of the camp.
It has been proposed that the fitness trainers will be present with the racers on the Thursdays of race weekends and will get them to undergo the physical training including push-ups, chin-ups and other such tests. The results of those sessions will be compared with the previous sessions so that the progress of the trainee could be recorded, and changes in the schedule could be provided as per the requirement.
During this camp, the award for the “Fittest Driver at the Camp” was handed over to Chewang Lama, a debutant from Sikkim, and a special mention was given to Neha Dabas from Delhi for her outstanding performance.
