The Rally of Coimbatore, the opening round of the FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship 2021, has attracted a record 57 entries. The drivers all have been eagerly waiting for this day and, obviously, one can expect them to be fast and furious on the smooth and flowing terrain this weekend.
The championship, with MRF Tyres as the associate sponsor, is a spill over from last year due to the pandemic and will now comprise three rounds — Rally of Coimbatore (Feb 25-27), Karnataka-1000, Bengaluru (March 11-13), and the South India Rally, Chennai, (March 25-27) — promoted directly by The Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India, the governing body for the sport in the country.
“The Federation welcomes all the participants and stakeholders to the first round of the INRC 2021 in Coimbatore. It was a challenging year due to the pandemic, and the Federation has taken it upon itself to promote the 2021 edition of our flagship championship,” said Akbar Ebrahim, the FMSCI president.
