Coimbatore, Nov 23: The first of the Gulf Autocross series for two-wheelers will be held here on December seven.
Participants would have to ride around a specially chalked out zig-zag course and each would be timed to one hundredth of a second, a press release from the Coimbatore Auto Sports Club, co-organiser with Sportcraft, said yesterday.
Autocross, though a strictly competitive event like any sport, was a time trial event, where the capabilities of both man and machine were put to the ultimate test, it said.
A 'touch' to any of the obstacles along the course would entail a penalty of 30 seconds, which would be added to the final time registered by the participant during the routine exercise, it said.
The Autocross is being staged by lubricant major Gulf Oil Corporation in different parts of the country, the release added.
