Sarfaranga Desert Rally 2018 Opens with a Bang

By Sadia Shahid  Published: 31st August, 2018

Sarfaranga Desert Rally marks its second annual event as it kicks off on 1st September 2018. Once again PakWheels is collaborating with Gilgit-Baltistan government. The Mountain Dew sponsored event has 66 registered participants in Vehicles category including 3 female participants, whereas 15 participants in Bikes category. Renowned racers like Mir Nadir Magsi, Sahibzada Sultan, Qasim Saidhi and Sangi Brothers are missing from this year’s event.

RASE being the official and sole time partner has once again taken Pakistan motorsports on level ground with international standards through the use of GPS loggers to eliminate physical checkpoints and extremely accurate timers at finish point. Live updates and news will be provided on their Facebook page and results portal.

Sarfaranga opening ceremony would be near tent village site with qualifying round being 3.4 km to be held on 1st September. On 2nd September the participants will race through a track which is 38.4 km long with variation in land-forms such as initial soft sand plain with further tracks being closely looped near dunes. Some widely spaced tracks with treacherous and hard surfaces have been included in the return journey. However, all have been rigorously flagged and marked, nearly 3000 points, which brings the chances of getting lost to near minimum.
