Description

On the 8th and 9th of March 2024, the Automobile Association of Bangladesh (AAB) successfully organized the National Karting Championship & Talent Hunt, Round 1, for the Dhaka Division at the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The event presented some unique challenges, as a total of 983 people registered, including both drivers and volunteers. Managing such a large number of enthusiastic participants posed a significant logistical challenge. To address this, we implemented a “first come, first serve” system to maximize participation. Our volunteers and officials worked tirelessly, even overnight, to ensure as many people as possible could take part in the event, while also accommodating the remaining registered motorsport enthusiasts in the karting slalom sessions.

The majority of participants were barristers, lawyers, judges, and their children, along with many passionate motorsport enthusiasts.

A total of 300 drivers participated in the initial round (Round 1) of the National Karting Championship & Talent Hunt. From these 300 participants, 39 drivers were selected to move on to the semi-final round (Round 2). Following the semi-finals, the top 15 drivers were chosen to compete in the final round.

The event featured two categories for the first round: Under 17 and 17 plus, with one category planned for the remaining rounds. This event conducted by trained and experienced volunteers. We designed 3 circuit layouts, one for under 17 and remaining 2 circuits for 17 plus drivers.
