The world’s highest altitude motoring rally – the Maruti Suzuki Raid-De-Himalaya is back. In its 17th edition, the rally is set to kick off on October 9 from Shimla, the Queen of hills.
Over 150 motorsport enthusiasts are expected to participate and cover a total distance of approximately 2000 km over 6 days. S-Cross, the newly launched premium crossover by Maruti Suzuki will make its first appearance in the off-road rally. A total of four S-Cross will participate in the rally.
Known as one of the toughest rallies with the most trying terrains, this year’s Raid will traverse through an all-new and extra strenuous route. With the flag off from Shimla, the rally will pass through some of the harshest, yet most picturesque landscapes of Manali, Dalhousie, Rangdum and culminate at the valley city of Srinagar.
