Bengaluru: The Indian Racing Festival (IRF), India's premier city-based motorsport league, has just entered a thrilling new chapter as Kannada megastar Kichcha Sudeep officially acquired the Bengaluru fran-chise and launches his racing team: Kichcha's Kings Bengaluru (KKB).
This landmark move is more than a business decision — it's a defining cultural crossover between the silver screen and the speed track, bringing with it the energy and influence of one of South In-dia's most celebrated stars into the high-stakes world of motorsport. A commanding presence on screen, Sudeep now shifts gears to make his mark as an owner, visionary, and sporting ambassador, driving a new era of racing from Karnataka to the national stage.
