Thivanka who was sponsored by Speed Drome, took to the sport at the
inception of Speed Drome Battaramulla in 2010, with the intention of
having fun in Go-Karting and was placed among the top ten drivers at the
circuit at Battaramulla in the very first year.
Having evaluated his potential and performance, the Management of
Speed Drome decided to give him the opportunity to compete at the
Championship in 2011, while at the same time sponsoring his
participation for the entire year.
Young Thivanka who was exuberant over his win, he commended Speed
Drome for the opportunity afforded to him, which enabled him to reach
the highest level in this sport. He further went on to praise the
Management of Speed Drome for their noteworthy contribution to uplift
Motor Racing in Sri Lanka, and for the support and encouragement
extended to young drivers especially in the Formula category.
Within a short period of two years of its existence, Speed Drome has
been in the forefront of Formula Racing, producing many young drivers in
this Class which included the Runner-Up in the Championship who made his
way through the experience he gained in Go-Karting at Speed Drome.
