The Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) and Sri Lanka Association of Racing Drivers and Riders (SLARDAR) together will hold the Sigiriya Rally Cross 2009. This event will be a first of its kind in Sri Lanka. A combination of tarmac and gravel tracks would contribute towards an exciting racing experience.
The ‘Track’ is made-up of the air strip itself and a part of the surrounding land on a 40 % (tarred track) to 60% (gravel track) basis. The inclusion of sharp 2nd gear corners and sweeping third gear corners, adding up to some 10 corners, will provide a thrilling viewing experience for the spectators. The paved landing strip will provide opportunity for high speed and the gravel track with a number of designed corners will provide an opportunity to highlight the driving skill of the competitors. The track, in general, could be designated as being ‘Fast’. There will be around 22 events for both motorbikes and cars.
The event which is envisaged to be flagged off on the 27th of September in Sigiriya, which will expect to field over 150 riders and drivers, including two Indian riders.
