“It’s catching hype. We plan to take it to 30 to 35 kilometre,” said Shujaat, also CEO of Toyota Highway. He said that Balochistan government is backing them in their endeavor to conduct a successful event by helping the organizers in track preparation and security provision.
Nadir Magsi, Rony Patel, Sahibzada Sultan Mohammad Ali, Nadeem Khan, former chief minister of Balochistan Jam Kamal Khan, Nouman Saranjam, Shiraz Qureshi, Tushna Patel, who will return after two years, her daughter Dina Patel, Maryam Shiraz and Nida Wasti are some of the prominent drivers who will embellish the race.
There will be four events in each of the categories of Prepared and Stock. Veterans have also been featured in the category along with women. Moreover, a motocross (bike) category has been added. The 30-kilometer race, according to the organizers, is the shortest but most difficult for the drivers because of rocky and sandy barriers as well as the seaside region of Gadani.
