MotoGP Grand Prix weekend in India has commenced. This is the first time ever that the highest class of motorcycle racing, sanctioned by the FIA, has been organized in India. The race is scheduled for Sunday at 3:30 IST at the Buddh International Circuit. A number of high-profile celebrities are attending this adrenaline-filled event, and one of those personalities is the highly popular yoga and motivational speaker, Yogi Sadhguru. He attended the event and led the first inaugural lap before the practice sessions commenced on a super-expensive BMW motorcycle.
The founder of Isha Foundation, Yogi Sadhguru, prior to the practice sessions, led a lap on his BMW R 1250 RT touring bike. He did this alongside the BMW M2 safety car of the MotoGP at the track.
