Description

A total of 270 motorsport enthusiasts completed online registration, while 79 enthusiasts registered on-site, bringing the total number of participants in the National Karting Championship & Talent Hunt, Round 2 to 349 (270 online + 79 spot registrations). The majority of participants were male, but AAB also identified 4 female drivers.

The event faced several challenges, but the AAB team worked tirelessly, often overnight, to ensure its success. During this period, Bangladesh was experiencing significant political unrest, which caused disruptions. Our logistics and buses, carrying volunteers and equipment, were stuck on the highway due to student protests blocking the road. This created a tense situation, but the team quickly found an alternate bypass route, allowing the logistics and volunteers to reach the event site on the morning of the competition. This unexpected detour resulted in additional costs for the event.

Despite these challenges, the event was conducted smoothly by a team of trained and experienced volunteers. We designed three circuit layouts; one for drivers under 17 years and two for drivers aged 17 years and above.

In the first round, 349 drivers participated. From these, 56 drivers were selected to move on to the semi-final round. Following the semi-finals, the top 21 drivers advanced to the final round.
