motorsport

i enjoy watching motorsport and sometimes when time allows participate in it.

am a fan of formula one series because of the technology involved,the extreme speeds  and the attention to details in building a grand prix car.

all my work and life  pressures are neutralized when motorsport kicks in .I can simply say apart from electrical engineering,motorsport is slowly becoming part of my life 

Additional Information

I enjoy working in remote areas,in tough conditions because i believe this brings the most out of me.

Always willing to learn more and adapt quickly.


Able to work with and respect people from different cultures.
