FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship: There is plenty of action on offer as reigning National champion Karna Kadur (co-driver Musa Sherif) heads a 21-strong FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship promoted by Vamcy Merla (Asia Cup) grid that features a Hyundai i20 and Maruti Suzuki Fronx for the first time, in the three-day event that is part of the Indu Chandhok Memorial 48th South India Rally to be run in and around the Madras International Circuit, Sriperumbudur, from April 25 to 27.

Also running concurrently is the first round of the Blueband FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship 2025 powered by Vamcy Merla which has attracted 52 entries, including those competing in the APRC segment while a new class, the INRC 3T for turbocharged cars will be making a bow in the championship.

Organisers Madras Motor Sports Club have left no stone unturned to prepare 135 kms of fast, flowing and yet technical Special Stages mostly made up of gravel and the average speeds are expected to be quite high. The event will commence on Friday afternoon with a ceremonial flag-off ceremony at the MIC.
