COLOMBO, Sri Lanka, August 16, 2025 (ePRESS) – Asian International School’s (AIS) young motorsport sensation, Chenuka Caldera (#79), is ready to take the biggest leap of his racing career, stepping into the elite Super Sport Open class on a 1000cc machine at just 14 years old. His high-powered debut will come at the Rotherham Circuit Meet 2025 – Round 1, with qualifying on August 16 and race day on August 17.

To prepare for this challenge, Chenuka has undergone advanced rider training programmes in Malaysia, Thailand, and India, fine-tuning his racecraft to handle the raw power and technical demands of the premier class. In addition to competing in the Super Sport Open, he will also race in the Group O 160cc and Super Sport 250cc classes at Rotherham, showcasing his versatility across multiple categories.
Chenuka’s journey has been powered by the strong backing of his sponsor, Gengio Auto Spares, a trusted name in European auto precision, known for genuine and OEM spare parts, performance upgrades, and custom modifications. Their support has been crucial in helping this AIS prodigy aim for national and international racing success.
