MRF 40th South India Rally Rally Guide
1 Madras Motor Sports Club
1. WELCOME
A very warm welcome to you from the warm hearts of NAMMA Chennai!!!
After a successful run of the rallies in the recent years, the MMSC is all geared up to host the South India Rally once again, which is the 2nd round of the MRF FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship 2017.
The name South India Rally was so called since it traversed through Bangalore, Mysore, Coimbatore, Ooty, Kodaikanal, Kanyakumari, and Trichy. After organizing 39 Editions of the rally, MMSC with its vast experience and its team of committed members is all set for the 40th Edition.
The rally will be 2 stages, within 15 kms radius of Sriperumbudur. The rally Headquarters and the Service Park will be at the MADRAS MOTOR RACE TRACK (MMRT), which is situated 35 kms from Chennai (opposite of Hyundai Motor India Ltd factory) on the NH 4 Chennai – Bangalore highway.
For your accommodation, hotels of various budgets have been listed out, which will be around 15 minutes from the Rally Headquarters. For your information, other essential services have also been included in this guide.
The Rally Headquarters and the Secretariat will be open from 10 00 hrs on Friday 25th August 2017, to enable you to complete all administrative checks and collect road books, maps, etc.
Chennai is going to be warm and humid in August and hence it will be advisable to carry light comfortable clothing and of course plenty of water.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the sponsors, MRF, FMSCI, the media, the IVRCL Group, AAVISA Golf course, the Rally participants and finally the dedicated team of MMSC who have helped in making my job much easier.
WELCOME TO THE MRF 40TH SOUTH INDIA RALLY.
SAFE AND HAPPY RALLYING!!!
