Gymkhana is an entry-level motor sport activity that the world governing body of Motorsport, the FIA, has developed, in order to bring new drivers into motor sport, without the limitation of a budget consideration. The Art of Gymkhana is a motorsport discipline that can be organized on a temporary track (e.g. car Park). The driver needs to drive between a set of cones adhering to a set route, in the shortest time possible. It is a competition against the clock, which is a test of the driver’s maneuverability and the route orientation, rather than pure performances of the car. The event will be restricted to drivers who have obtained a Novice License from SLAS, as this event is organized with the fundamental aim of choosing two drivers to represent Sri Lanka.
The Gymkhana will be held on September 9 at the Sri Lanka foundation mawatha (Car Park) from 8.30 am onwards.
