Vietnam launches largest-ever off-road car racing event

Now in its 18th year, the event will feature a record 70 teams and 140 drivers competing across four categories and 24 racing tracks — nearly double the number from last year.

Organizers expect around 700 race runs across the weekend.

The competition includes professional, advanced SUV, advanced pickup, and basic classes, with all divisions running full-day sessions.

Night racing will return in the ‘Adventure’ segment, considered a signature test of skill and endurance.

Tracks have been divided into six zones to streamline judging, supervision, and live broadcasting, part of broader efforts to elevate the scale and professionalism of the event, the organizers said.
