Narain Karthikeyan is set to be greeted with a deluge of fan greetings ahead of his much-awaited March 6 Formula 1 debut in the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park, Melbourne reports the Hindustan Times Website.

The Indian race driver's sponsors, Tata Racing, have decided to start a five-day signature campaign from tomorrow in seven cities of the country for fans to affix their signatures on specially designed vehicles, a media release said here today.

The cities covered would be Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Karthikeyan's hometown - Coimbatore.

In another attempt to reach out to his fans, the race driver's sponsors have launched a wireless campaign which is to be promoted on television too and it would be conducted from March 1-19, the release added.

As an added incentive the sponsors have decided to conduct a quiz contest with a free ticket to watch the Bahrain F1 race and a chance to have dinner with Karthikeyan as the prizes for the winner.
