V. R. Naren Kumar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
V. R. Naren Kumar is a five-time National Rally Champion from Coimbatore,India.
Kumar started his career in Team MRF, operated by another Rally driver N. Leelakrishnan. He briefly appeared (with a promising drive) in a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7 for the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship, until bogged down with sponsorship. Currently driving in the Indian National Rally Championship, he is again set to arrack the European championship in future for Works Abarth team. In India, he won four championships for Team MRF, then switched to Team JK, who themselves reappeared into the rallying scene after a seven-year gap, just to sponsor Naren. Yet Naren won the 2005 crown for JK in a rally tyre pulled out of their old stock.
