By The Acer FASTER Awards 2025 jury round has officially concluded at the Madras International Circuit in Chennai. Formerly known as the Madras Motor Race Track (MMRT), this historic venue hosted the two-day evaluation process on February 26th and 27th, bringing together some of the most exciting automotive contenders from the past year. Now in its fourth edition, the Acer FASTER Awards continue to celebrate automotive excellence by assessing all new cars and motorcycles launched within the previous calendar year. The shortlisted finalists underwent rigorous testing at the track, with expert jurors putting them through their paces to determine the best in their respective categories.
The jury panel consisted of seasoned professionals from leading automotive media outlets under FASTER (Federation of Auto Scribes of the Electronic Realm). Representing publications such as CarBlogIndia, DriveSpark, GaadiWaadi, GearFliQ, Motoroids, and Pilot on Wheels, these experts ensured that every vehicle was evaluated thoroughly based on multiple criteria, including design, performance, technology, safety, and value for money. FASTER’s influence spans across six languages—English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam—reaching over 250 million consumers.
