Currently driving in the Indian National Rally Championship, again set to arrack the European championship in future for Works Abarth team. In India he won 4 championships for Team MRF, then switched to Team JK, who themselves reappeared into the rallying scene after a long 7 year gap, just to sponsor Naren. Yet Naren won the 2005 crown for JK in a rally tyre pulled out of their old stock. A very promising driver, sadly gets sidelined in the media, general public for the other F1 ace from the same city"Narain Karthikeyan",thats mainly due to a very similar first names.
