So I was thinking what new to try upon, and got to hear about this Car rally, that Times of India is conducting from Bangalore to Goa. So it was such a mega event that around 400 cars driven only by Women from 4 different cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune and all the cars converge in Goa. This was about 750 km drive on TSD (Time, Distance and Speed). It seemed quiet interesting to me and I thought why not give it a try.

To get selected in the list its a big procedure 1.  have to register 2. share the voting link to all your friends 3. collect the votes and finally the top 400 team will be selected.

And finally here I am successfully got into the list and in the flag off day…

This is the starting point in Ozone Urbana in Bangalore where each car is flagged off at an interval of every 1 minute.

This is the first day stop over in Shivamoga. The night stop in a Hotel and all of us had a gala time dancing and chating with like minded people, who enjoys driving…

This was the parking area where 120 cars were parked and next day all the cars were flagged off.

We could meet lot of other women with similar interest which is driving. We could connect well because of the same interest.

This is our team… Myself, Sujothi the navigator and Anu srivastava the team co-ordinator posing for a selfie…

These kinds of hoardings were there in all the places on the prize distribution venue, and this hoarding impressed me…

This is before the flag off, while waiting for our turn to come…

 

The parking lot of the Hotel where we stayed in Goa… You could see all the rally cars parked in a row. The Bangalore team was divided to 3 teams and 450 people from Bangalore were made to stay in 3 different hotels. You could imagine the people from other cities like Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad total of 1500 more participants, and how many hotels would have been occupied.  Every where you turn those 2 days in Goa, you would see only rally cars… Whole city of Goa was filled with rally cars and colorful women…

This is the prize distribution stage arrangement. This was a mega event and Actor Ranbir Kapoor was called for the prize distribution.
