Third Rajans’ Motor Rally on July 14

The ’91 batch of the Dharmaraja College OBU have finalized arrangements to conduct Kandy’s immensely popular “Rally with Rajans” Motor Rally for the third consecutive year on July 14.

The rally will coincide with the school’s 125th anniversary celebration which is being celebrated this year with Singer Sri Lanka as the main sponsor with Exide and Sri Lanka Insurance as the co-sponsors.

Claiming that “there is an adventurer living within everybody”, an official of the organizing committee said that the Rally theme for 2012 is “Explore the Real You” where competitors are expected to find the track highly challenging and arduous, especially in comparison with previous years.

This years exciting rally track is expected to exceed 90 kilometers in length, with a grueling mix of both tarmac and gravel track driving. Furthermore the route of the rally will not be divulged to the competitors and they will need to navigate their way by referring to a ‘special instructions’ leaflet which will be provided on the day of the event. This year’s Rally will begin from the top floor of the Kandy Municipal Council’s (KMC) four storied car park near the Kandy City Center shopping complex and will end at Dharmaraja College’s swimming pool complex. The first Rally vehicle will be flagged off near the KMC car park at 12 noon whilst the remaining vehicles will get on track with a gap of two minutes each. All Rally drivers and navigators will be subject to a thorough medical check-up prior to the event and will be briefed on rules and conditions, time and distance calculations and appropriate safety procedures to be followed.
