Active Blogs | Popular Blogs | Recent Blogs The Speed Indian National Rally Championship was supposed to begin with a bang on the Easter day on April 24 but the sudden announcement of the Election dates in Bengal forced the Federation, FMSCI (Federation of Motorsports Clubs of India) to put off the rally to the end, making it the `season finale' instead of `season opener'. Thus, Nashik is back as the season opener and will launch the new INRC in the first week of June.
The Speed INRC calendar has a surprise this year with Chennai making a comeback and Bhubaneshwar entering the map of Indian rally scene.
The other legs of Coimbatore and K-1000 in Bangalore. So it is Nashik, Chennai, Coimbatore, K-1000 Chikmagalore, Bhubaneshwar and Durgapur near Calcutta.
The Championship sees an increase in prize money with winners of each class now collecting Rs. 1 lakh as a prize purse. The other major change sees the introduction of the Open Cup for diesel and petrol vehicles, eligible for cars upto 3000cc. The diesel class will contain two categories; one for cars upto 1600cc and another for cars between 1601 and 3000cc. The turbo charged induction factor will also apply to the class which will become a part of the support class for the INRC as in the case of the Gypsy Cup and 1400 Star Cup.
This year’s Championship should be as keenly contested as 2010 between possible title contenders Gaurav Gill of Team MRF, Naren Kumar and Vikram Mathias (both of Team Red Rooster Racing) along with other bright new rallying prospects adding to the mix
