A new motor racing event called the 'Panadura Rallycross 2003' organised by the Upcountry Motor Sports Club will be held at the abandoned playgrounds at Modarawila in Panadura on Sunday, December 7th according to the secretary of the Upcountry Motor Sports Club, Rohan Peiris. Rohan Peiris said that this Rallycross will be only for cars and jeeps of the following categories: Group A : (Unmodified cars with normally aspirated engines) Over 12 Kg/BHP, Between 12.0 and 14.0 Kg/BHP, Between 10.0 and 12.0 Kg/BHP, Between 8.0 and 10.0 Kg/BHP, Over 6.0 and upto 8.0 Kg/BHP.

According to the Upcountry Motor Sports Club there will be no official practices for the meet. The circuit has been laid out on a large, flat and virtually abandoned playground in Moderawila, within the urban limits of Panadura. A public tarred road bordering the grounds (mainly gravel with spots of grass) and a large sand pit (which may be well watered or even submerged for the meet) will form the part of the circuit. Hence the track surface will be a mixture of unsealed surfaces. The length of the track is expected to be in the region of 2.0 kilometre permitted by international regulations for such an event. Thus this track will be unique and the competitors have to come to grips with the different terrains available on this circuit. Entries will close with Rohan Peiris, 11 Park Circus, off Park Road, Colombo 5. |
