“RACE ROUTES ARE GIVEN THE NIGHT BEFORE”

Büyükpınar emphasized that, unlike classic rallies, the stages are given to the competitors the night before, adding, "Just being fast is not enough; you need to know navigation very well."

THE RACE WILL CONSISTS OF 2 CATEGORIES

Büyükpınar explained that the race includes a Rally category, where you compete against time, and a Raid category, which appeals to more amateur racers. He added that standard vehicles can compete in the Raid class, and the most important rule is to comply with speed limits.

The race will begin in Bursa and continue through Kütahya, Haymana, Lake Tuz, Cappadocia (Nevşehir), Çorum, and Bolu. The longest leg will be 432 kilometers from Haymana to Cappadocia.

“Türkiye IS A LEGENDARY GEOGRAPHY FOR MOTOR SPORTS”

Büyükpınar emphasized that Türkiye boasts a diverse range of courses, from mountains to lakes, forests to seashores, saying, "We are one of the top five races in the world. Unlike desert races, here, a different landscape is experienced every day."

THE RACE WILL START IN BUTTIM

Büyükpınar, noting that a start and service area will be established in the approximately 20-acre Buttim parking lot, said, "We are expecting the people of Bursa to come here. It will be an opportunity to see world-class racing vehicles up close."
