  THE MOTO-QUADS

India’s premier motorsport event, the Maruti Suzuki Raid De Himalaya is eleven years old!! To take part in the X-treme on a motorcycle or ATV is considered certifiable madness. Fortunately for this ever growing section of the Raid there seems to be no shortage of the insanely adventurous!! The motorcycles that compete stretch from lowly 100cc Honda's to the suberbly tuned KTM's and Yamahas. Over the years it is accepted that 80 percent of starters will wilt by the wayside and only 20 percent will see the Finish Arch! For those that are unreasonably tough mentally and physically and totally impervious to the cold......Click Here

THE X-TREME CARS AND 4X4'S

Chances are that you will not see the Flag Off for Leg 2 if you are here for the first time. 90 percent of newbies will hobble into the last time control well beyond the Maximum Permitted Lateness, completely dazed from the unfolding events. Service crews will be equally crestfallen and amazed at how a rally car can disintegrate in ONE working day! To join the mayhem you have had to have completed a National level rally. First timers are not permitted for the simple reason that this category of the Maruti Suzuki Raid De Himalaya can prove fatally dangerous to the uninitiated. However you can enter the Adventure Trial as a bright eyed, fresh faced, "full of aspirations" first timer and get initiated...For those that have been baptised and can't wait to tempt the Grim Reaper...Click Here

 THE ADVENTURE TRIAL

The Adventure Trial was born out of a Catch 22 situation: no newcomer could rally the X-treme unless they had completed a National level rally and all the National level rallies needed experience to complete ...so there it was - a veritable roadblock to new talent !! Himalayan Motorsport innovated a solution in 2003 which saw first timers flock to a category of the Maruti Suzuki Raid De Himalaya that ran for them alone..a Time Speed Distance format that was both cost friendly and educative. All makes of stock cars are permitted -- navigators are born within 7 days and drivers turn to real champions. If you are adventurous and competitive but don't want to destroy your family car and still have serious fun then this is your introduction to organised rallying...Click Here
