About Us

At Virtual Racing Hub (VRH), we bring motorsport home — with world-class simulators, custom rigs, and pro-grade training tools built for realism, precision, and durability.

Founded in 2020 (registered as U TASHTRI OPC PRIVATE LIMITED), VRH is India's leading provider of sim racing setups, motion platforms, and corporate simulator solutions. We work across sim racing, drifting, driver training, automotive brand programs, and turnkey B2B installations nationwide.

As partners with Simagic, MOZA, and Conspit, we deliver premium hardware, custom builds, and full support — whether you're building a home rig, upgrading to pro-level gear, or kitting out an event or training facility.

Meet Our Founders

Akshat Taneja & Pavitra Balakrishnan

Motorsport Athletes | Founders, Virtual Racing Hub

Akshat and Pavitra are accomplished Indian motorsport athletes with experience across drifting, circuit racing, autocross, and gymkhana. Their hands-on work in racing, vehicle development, and driver instruction is the real-world foundation behind VRH.

Both are instructors with Badboi Drifts and ranked among the top drifters in the country.

Achievements

• Akshat Taneja — Winner of Drift Wars, India's only FMSCI-accredited drifting competition (BND Motorsports, Buddh International Circuit). Former professional audio engineer who toured with The Local Train, Piyush Mishra, Papon, and Faridkot.
• Pavitra Balakrishnan — Multiple podium finishes at FMSCI-accredited autocross and gymkhana events. Founder of her own law firm and former lawyer at the Supreme Court of India.

Our Race Fleet

VRH owns and runs a four-car race fleet — actively raced and developed as a live testbed for our simulator philosophy.

• Two Mercedes-Benz W203 C200 Kompressor drift cars — competition-spec with upgraded supercharger pulleys, drift suspension, and pro angle kits.
• Honda Brio (track) — engine-swapped to ~140 hp, built for agility and sharp driver input.
• Maruti Suzuki Ritz (track) — 85 hp, fully prepped with BSR Motorsports: stiffened suspension, lowering springs, strut bars, and ~400 kg of weight reduction. The Ritz is the car we use to bridge sim racers from virtual to real-world circuit driving.

Our Approach

Athlete-led and motorsport-first. Every VRH simulator is engineered as a serious performance tool — shaped by real racing experience, not built as a gaming product.
