No machan, I wont be running, but will be assisting with the event administration. However, among those taking part are:

Aravinda Premadasa - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII

Dinesh Deheragoda - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

Dinesh Jayawardene - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII

Reyaz Farook - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII

Rizvi Farouk - Subaru Impreza WRX

Shafraz Junaid - Subaru Impreza WRX

Janaka Dias - Subaru Impreza WRX STI

Pasindu Peiris - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX

Shantha Suraweera - Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Thiwanka Wijayasekere - Honda Integra Type-R

Dinesh Senanayake - Toyota RAV4

Farzan Najmudeen - Nissan March

Javidh Wahab - Honda Civic Type-R

Missaka Gamage - Honda Civic SiR

Sanjaya Sedara Senarath - Honda Civic Type-R

Manish Gunatilleke - Subaru Impreza

Taffy Alahakoon - Honda Civic

Emdad Hussein - Honda CRX

It'll be good to see the Thiwanka's DC5 mixing it up amongst the turbo/AWD brigade in SL 'GT' and It'll be even more interesting to see how an N/A 2.0 litre car performs against a restricted Evo/WRX.

Sorely tempting, but not sure about my time. Must try and free up that weekend.

peri.. it should be a good drive for the vzr and not too far too...about 30-45 mins off kalutara

Yes, but the problem is, my sisters wedding is in June, and I've got loads to do. Hence not sure about my time. I'd really love to go, I hear its a great bird watching area too.

Hope DD avoids the local birdlife this time

Nothing intentional Peri

As a matter of fact till I came to the paddock area last time at Pelwatte I didn’t even know there was bird stuck in the head light area of my car ….I guess all drivers focus so much on what they should be doing and other aspects are not much taken into count

I guess it being a tarmac rally this time the speeds would be much grater than Pelwatte. So this time at KKG the birds wouldn’t have much time to escape

[Devinda_Z]

so its possible make a day trip of this then??

how is the race gonna be worked off? stages right - so if say one were to only make it over on sunday would there be enough action to make the trek worth it?

[fuzzo]

sat is when the majority of the stages will happen... better try to make it on sat if you can.

[Elvis_Pil]

Any night stages? Whats the starting time in the day?

Wow, you're comparing this to the largest/most-popular/best-attended motorsport event in Sri Lanka. Must be good then.
