In 2008, Ashwin Sundar signed a deal with German racing team, Ma-Con Motorsport and raced in the German Formula Volkswagen ADAC Championship. He was also the national champion in LGB F4 category in 2012 and 2013.
The accident has happened only days after Chennai Police has seized ten sports cars for racing on public road and arrested one person for allegedly running over the foot of a Police inspector.
This accident is a prime example of what will be the outcome of speeding on public roads. But unfortunately, it took the lives of the couple. So, always follow the speed limits and drive safe on public roads.
