Even before you get to know this young man, his email id reads “racer@xxxx.com”. At first sight, you know that racing has always been a wild passion for this youngster. Known for his extraordinary ability to race and his zeal to be on the track, Chetan Korada is clear that his prosthetic legs are a minor detail in his life. With ample support from his parents and other members of his extended family, Chetan strongly believes in chasing his dreams and achieving his ambitions. His journey began in 2002 when he began visiting various go karting centres across the country. Later, he graduated to go karting championships and then proceeded to racing. In March 2007, a test drive of Formula Swifts (1300cc) changed his life and made him take up racing as a serious career option. In 2009, he was crowned “Summer Cup Champion” and went on to achieve 16 podium finishes in the next year in the Formula Maruti category. Forever focussed and determined, Chetan has chalked out a plan for the next year and hopes to keep climbing up the racing ladder.
