Gymkhana is an entry-level motor sport activity that the world governing body of Motorsport, FIA, has developed, in order to bring new drivers into motor sport, without the limitation of a budget consideration.

The Art of Gymkhana is a motorsport discipline that can be organised on a temporary track (e.g. Car Park). The driver needs to drive between a set of cones adhering to a set route, in the shortest time possible. It is a competition against the clock, which is a test of the driver’s manoeuvrability and the route orientation, rather than pure performances of the car.

The event will be restricted to drivers who have obtained a Novice License from SLAS, as this event is organised with the fundamental aim of choosing two drivers to represent Sri Lanka.

The Gymkhana will be held on September 9, 2018 at the Sri Lanka Foundation Mawatha (Car Park) from 8.30am onwards.
