Expect a real trailblazer and more action

The much looked forward to Uda Walawe Supercross conducted by the Sri Lanka Army Motor Sports committee of the Sri Lanka Army Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (SLEME) will speed off at the Uda Walawe Supercross in Sevanagala, Uda Walawe today.

The inaugural meet was held in 2011 and has since then gone from strength to strength and this year too, the organisers along with the sponsors who have come forward will be looking forward to end the event with success as in the previous years. Sri Lanka Moto Cycle Club (SLMCC) are the organisors of this event and is sponsored by Causeway Paints with CEAT, Cold Stores, Stafford Motors as co sponsors

The track situated at the 17th mile post on the Uda Walawe-Thanamalwila main road, just out- side the Army camp is close to the Uda Walawe National Park which is patronised by locals and international tourist with awe.

The Uda Walawe National Wildlife Park is considered as a major eco tourism village which is supposed to be one of the best parks to view elephants. It has become a holiday resort and with this in mind the SLEME together with SLMCC are not leaving any stone unturned to make this a grand event.

The SLMCC has a proud history of over six decades in organising motor racing events in the past such as the Reliability Trials, Circuit meets in Kurunegala, Ratmalana and Matugama, Road races in Kurunegala and Nuwara Eliya to name a few.

The Uda Walawe Supercross is not only fun and enjoyment for the spectators as the SLEME is conducting this with a worthy cause in mind as all proceeds will be for the benefit of terrorist victims of the regiment and also for disabled soldiers which they have been doing since the Supercross was initiated in 2011.

The top driver of the meet last year Ashan Silva who is in top form this year and rider Evon Gurusinghe will be looking forward to retain the title but they will face stiff opposition from in from Aravinda

Premadasa and

Ishan Dasanayake who both are in top form in the motor car and motorcycle category.

In fact Ashan and Ishan were adjudged the best driver and rider at the recently concluded Foxhill Supercross held at Diyatalawa.

Young Kushan Peiris who won two events last year and from recently who too has been in top form in the motor car events along with Imal Manchanayake, Buddika Silva and Lahiru Jeewantha in the motorcycle category will be the other notable riders to watch out.

Twenty five events are scheduled to be held for the day with 12 in the motor cycle and 13 in motor car categories.
