FMSCI promises a packed motorsport calendar for December 2015
The chill may have only just started to set in, but FMSCI is all set to thaw it out with a month choc-a-bloc with some hot motorsport events. December 2015 begins with Supercross ÃÂ action as the sixth and final round of the MRF MoGrip FMSCI National Supercross Championship will be conducted in Bangalore on December 4 and 5. The organisers are Godspeed, Pune. Mangalore's KP Aravind is still the leader in the overall championship standings and will have to be wary of AW Tanveer as they gun for the national title.
The fourth and final round of the Indian Rally Championship from December 11-13 in Chikmagalur has an added attraction.

The weekend from Dec 4-6 is when the 2015 edition of the Ultimate Desert Off-road Championship takes place inÃÂ Bikaner, organised by Dune Adventure Sports Club. The weekend after that (December 12-13) is going to be even more intense because the V1 Racing Dirt Cross 2015ÃÂ inÃÂ VizagÃÂ and theÃÂ Fast & Furious Rally Cross I in Ludhiana occur simultaneously with the fifth round of theÃÂ Honda MMSC One Make Championship 2015 at the BIC. Chennai's Meco Motorsports have also organised theÃÂ Schools, Colleges and Corporates Karting Championship for this time.
The action thereafter moves to Nashik which will host theÃÂ WISA'sÃÂ Blind Man TSD Car Rally 2015 fromÃÂ Dec 19-20. Meanwhile, down south, Team Sportz Unlimited aren't quite ready to accept it's winter already because they're organising an Autocross event called the Summer Sprint in Bangalore, spread over two days - that is December 20 and December 27. The last weekend before the year closes will see some dirt track two-wheeler racing in theÃÂ Kanakothsava 2015 at Bangalore again, hosted by theÃÂ DKS Youth Sports Association.
