Ducati India has announced the very first Ducati India Race Cup in India. The race will be held alongside the season finale of the Volkswagen Ameo Cup 2019 and will be held in October 2019 at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida. This will be the very first time that the Ducati India Race Cup will take place in India, and the event will be a partnership of Ducati India with Volkswagen Motorsport India.

"In 2018, Ducati showcased its racing DNA by winning at the JK Tyre National Superbike Racing Championship and now, Ducati is proud to bring its very own one-make race along with Volkswagen Motorsport India. This year, we are also looking to organize not just another DRE Track day but are also working on having specialized DRE instructor in India itself so that they can provide person preparation to keen Ducati riders before the race. Ducati India is thankful to Volkswagen Motorsports India for this collaboration," said Sergi Canovas, Managing Director, Ducati India. The Volkswagen Group with its diverse portfolio offer us opportunities to work together within the brands and come up with racing properties that cater to a wider audience. I am glad that we are taking the first step towards creating a power-packed event along with Ducati India and really looking forward to working on many more events in the future," said Sirish Vissa, Head of Volkswagen Motorsport India.
