Early career
Thapar debuted in the Indian National Rally Championship in 1992. Viral video
In July 2013, after a ten year break from racing, Thapar participated in the Rally of Coimbatore of the 2013 Indian National Rally Championship alongside co-driver Vivek Ponnusamy. A camera was installed inside the car to record the race, and afterwards, Thapar uploaded the recording to his YouTube channel. Yohann Setna, then a manager at the racing and rally team J.A. Motorsport, downloaded the video and edited it down to a humorous three-and-a-half minute clip of the moments during which Ponnusamy was shouting at Thapar, including phrases such as "Samir, you are breaking the car." The cut-down video was uploaded to Setna's YouTube channel on 8 August and went viral, acquiring over a million views within a few weeks. Ponnusamy lodged a complaint under Section 66A of the Indian Information Technology Act, which penalizes sending offensive messages. He alleged that the edits portrayed Thapar and himself in a "demeaning manner," and that the video had provoked racially abusive comments and caused him to lose several rally contracts. Setna was arrested on 24 August, but released the next day. Personal life
He is a member of the industrialist Thapar family, being the grandson of Karam Chand Thapar. References
