Gymkhana Race is an auto sport that emphasizes on speed and accurate timing in a track. Held for the second time here at IIMS 2014, Gymkhana is nothing like any other types of auto sports, since it blends drifting and slalom techniques to complete a more challenging track such as handicap, curve tracks (180 degree to 360 degree), and even figure 8 (the track resembles the number 8). The track that will be used for the two-day race has five different forms of tracks where the first two are designed for single race and the remaining three are for double race. The design of the track was created by Art Sport Club that is also acts as the Racing Committee Gymkhana Race War.
For two days, visitors can witness the skills of 60 racers that will show their speed, agility, and precision, with the sound of tire screeching in the background. The race is divided into four categories based on engine capacity and wheel drive system, namely FWD 1.000 - 1.200 cc, FWD 1.201 - 1.400 cc, FWD 1.401 - 1.00 cc, and Free For All RWD.
Abiyoso Wietono, Automotive Division Manager Dyandra Promosindo said Gymkhana Race War is presented again in this year's exhibition because it received huge positive response from visitors. "We hope the program can offer entertainment to visitors and grows auto sport in Indonesia, hence providing new challenges to Indonesian racers," said Abiyoso.
Made Arka, a visitor of IIMS 2014 who came to the show with his son to watch Gymkhana Race War said, "My kid loves seeing race cars, this one is no exception. He was thrilled when I invited him to watch this program," said Arka.
