Second Indian racing to F1
Chandhok moves closer to dream

(GMM) A second Indian driver may soon be knocking on the door of the pinnacle of world motor sport.

On the shirt tails of Jordan driver Narain Karthikeyan's 2005 debut, Karun Chandhok moved a step closer to the sport this week by signing a management deal with CSS Stellar. Like Juan Pablo Montoya, the 21-year-old's manager will be Julian Jakobi.

A 'CSS' statement said Chandhok - representing India in the A1 series - had been singled out as 'one of the leading young talents in motor sport'.

World rally star Sebastian Loeb and IRL champion Dan Wheldon are also managed by the sports management company, as were formula one legends Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.

''My goal is to reach the top of the ladder of motor sport,'' said Chennai born Chandhok.
