Dust following the cars, which is the specialty at the Rally of Coimbatore was put to test as overnight heavy rain doubted this possibility. While the surface was wet and if it rains tonight it will hamper and make the route more hectic and challenging, with no rain expected today, it looks like the charm shall return. With a much broader track on which the rally will be run for the first time, good and long drifts can be witnessed in the Stage 2.
With keeping the fingers crossed, all the competitors are eager enough to put their heart out as Coimbatore is known to be the flat out track and lets pray not to have a wet track and get to witness the High octane action, in the Round 3 of the BlueBand FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship 2024.
The rally was flagged-off by The Chief Guest, V. Balakrishnan IPS, Honorable Coimbatore City Police Commissioner, in the presence of the Guest of Honor, R. Sundar, Joint Managing Trustee, SNR Sons Charitable Trust.
