Tata Motors recently unveiled the Tata T1 Prima Truck Racing Championship. The series that is set to kick off on the 23rd of March, 2014 at the Buddh International Circuit will feature 12 race-prepped Prima trucks, with renowned truck racing drivers from around the world. Each round will feature two races. We can't wait to see this championship get going. Here are more images of the race ready Primas.
