In India, the automotive racing scene has developed several unique formats that cater to local conditions and preferences. One popular type is the Himalayan Rally, which takes advantage of the challenging mountain terrain to test both driver skill and vehicle endurance. These races often feature modified versions of locally manufactured cars like Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra vehicles.
Another distinctive Indian racing category is the autorickshaw racing, where these iconic three-wheeled vehicles are modified for speed and maneuverability competitions. These events showcase the creativity of local mechanics and the versatility of this ubiquitous Indian transport vehicle.
Circuit racing has also gained popularity with tracks like the Buddh International Circuit hosting international events. However, local adaptations include cheaper entry-level racing categories using stock versions of popular Indian cars like the Hyundai i20 and Honda City, making motorsports more accessible to aspiring racers. |
