Tushar Can Dream Again
Sports Reporter
Motor racing is a sport which most Bangladeshis can only
watch on TV screens. There is no infrastructure here for the sport, and lack
financial resources and sponsor- ship makes this sport an unimaginable passion
to pursue.
But one young man's passion, with a little help, has driven
him to defy all the odds. Mahfujur Rahman Tushar, a young man from a non
descript family in Dhaka, is embarking on the fourth round of Formula 4 which
will be held New Delhi India from November 27 to December 1. Once dis-
qualified and one having left due to lack of funds, Tushar kept persisting with
his passion.
"My parents admitted.
me to Madrasa but I had immense interest about motor cars
and I switched to automobile education after completing my madrasa studies (SSC
equivalent). Now I am a Formula 4 driver," said the young man from
Bangshal.
Tushar, who developed his interest in racing after taking
part in the online world cyber game, finished 11th out of 22 racers in the
first round of 16 JK Tyre Racing Championship in July 17-19 before crashing out
in the second round, having completed seven out of 15 laps, each lap being 2.2
km long.
Tushar has clocked 175kmph and took only 1:15.527 seconds to
complete a lap (2.2km) during his first round competition in India with his
Maruti Esteem MPFI 1300 CC.
But financial constraints had all but put paid to Tushar's
'dreams. However, Tushar has now found a benevolent partner in Shah Cement
Industries Ltd, which has vowed to provide him all the support in his latest
venture.
"We always give priority to youth as we did it for
Everest conquer Musa Ibrahim. As part of our preference, we came forward to
help Tushar and we will provide all the assistance to him whenever he takes
part in racing championships," said senior brand executive of Shah Cement,
Masud Rana at a press Tushar, who developed his interest in conference
yesterday.
