Eyewitnesses say that Kumar’s vehicle skidded off the track and struck a fence before flipping onto its roof. Despite the efforts of the medical crew at the race, Kumar was unable to recover from his injuries and passed away after being transported to the hospital.

The racing community is in mourning following the loss of Kumar, who was a beloved member of the MMSC and a highly respected racer. Vicky Chandok, chairman of the MMSC FMSCI National Car Racing Championship, described the incident as the “most terrible situation” and offered his condolences to Kumar’s family on behalf of the entire fraternity.

In the wake of Kumar’s death, the MMSC and the national regulatory body of the sport, FMSCI, have announced that they will be conducting an investigation into the incident. In the meantime, the remainder of the day’s events at the Madras International Circuit have been cancelled out of respect for Kumar.
