First Ever Rallycross Motorsports Event of Bangladesh

Venue: PWD (DITF) Ground, Agargaon, Dhaka

For the first time ever in Bangladesh, Bangladesh Motorsports Club (BMSC) arranged a superb event "Nitol-Tata Rallycross Championship' 2014" on 19th April, 2014 at PWD (DITF) Ground, Agargaon, Dhaka. It was a one day event involved a closed off-road circuit.

I didn't want to miss this exciting event. I went there with my friends and enjoyed a lot.

Each car was set off to run alone and cars were timed by an automatic wireless timing system. Every car was given 3 runs at an interval and the best time of the 3 runs was registered for the final result.

Cars were divided into 5 different groups according to the cubic capacities as follows:

GROUP A: 2000cc and above
GROUP B: 1601cc to 1999cc
GROUP C: 1301cc to 1600cc
GROUP D: 1000cc to 1300cc
GROUP E: 600cc to 999cc

Good news for those who missed the 1st Rallycross Championship, 2nd Rallycross Championship will be held on 8th November, 2014 at the same ground.
