We are very excited to announce a new initiative by our clients, the Mumbai Falcons.

The F1 SIM Racing India Open 2026 will bring together young sim racing fans throughout the country and give them the opportunity to compete in a program being run in partnership with F1.

The "One in a Billion Hunt" isn't just sim racing, this superb program will give sim racers the opportunity to develop and evolve and, for those good enough, they might find themselves racing karts, being schooled in fitness, media relations and road safety with the ultimate goal being a race seat at the highest level - F1.

To take part, registrations are open on on the Mumbai Falcons App available on iOS or Android via the AppStore and PlayStore.

This could be the chance of a lifetime for a child with talent to move forward in motorsport in India.

During his visit to Lombok for a training session with the VR46 Riders Academy, he expressed his admiration for the circuit, stating, “The circuit is good, all riders like Mandalika.

As the team behind the circuit, I think that , and should be very proud of Valentino’s comments!

In 2021, the management of Yas Marina Circuit (YMC) approached MRK1 due to the frustration with the lack of overtaking during Formula 1 races.

Together with F1 and in partnership with Driven International Ltd we worked closely with the YMC team to enhance the characteristics of the circuit, remove 5 corners and inject some fresh life into the layout.

We had a tight timeframe and a strict budget and we delivered changes that, since 2021 have spoken for themselves with a significant amount of overtaking, not just for F1 but also all other races and categories that have competed there.

If any circuits on the F1 calendar have a similar issue with overtaking and would like Mrk1 & Driven International Ltd to undertake a study of your layout and offer some solutions, please feel free to reach out.
