With an unprecedented 11 candidates contesting four Vice President positions at Saturday’s General Assembly in Bangkok, Thailand, the outcome was difficult to predict. However, when the results were announced, Mr Sujith had won a comfortable majority of votes to become the first Indian representative to join the Board of FIM Asia, which is the governing body for motorcycle racing for 28 countries in the region. He will hold the position for a four year term that began immediately.

“This is a significant development for Indian motorsport,” said Akbar Ebrahim, FMSCI president after the win. “We will continue to work towards promoting every discipline of motorsport in the country,” he added

As Chairman of the FMSCI’s Two Wheeler Racing Commission, Mr Sujith has already had a positive impact in Indian motorcycle racing, advancing rider training, safety and licensing standards for competitors and race officials. Beyond national competitions, he has been responsible for bringing international events to India, including a round of the Asia Cup of Road Racing to Buddh International Circuit. He has also given support and encouragement to the increasing number of Indian racers competing in international circuit and off-road events.
