Special features of street racing
First of all, if we tell you about street racing, in this wonderful format of motorsports, the race is not done on any stadium or track, but by temporarily converting the common roads of a city or the runway or terminal area of the airport into a race track. In street racing, all teams are given the same cars, which are Ligier JS F422. These cars have a 1.3 liter turbocharged Alpine engine. Since the street layout in this race is quite narrow, driving skills matter a lot and team strategy comes in handy while racing. In street racing, skill and strategy play a greater role than speed.
Women also participate in racing
Men and women participate together in street racing. Each team has 4 drivers, which include an experienced driver at the international level, an emerging global talent, an Indian driver and a female driver. The special thing is that this special format of racing has also been created to promote the participation of women in racing.
