Racing through sand dunes is a dream of every racer. And that is why to give one the sense of thrill and excitement and to promote tourism in the southern region of Punjab TDCP (Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab) initiated Thal Jeep Rally competition three years back.
Similarly, this year, the fourth iteration of the Thal Jeep Rally will be organized on the 15th-17th of November 2019. Veteran racers such as Nadir Magsi, Sahibzada Sultan, Zafar Baloch, Ronney Patel, Nosherwan Tiwana, Salma Khan, PMRC, etc and upcoming local drivers will participate in the event.
Other than tourism and to promote motorsports in the country, the jeep rally competition program is initiated to enhance the livelihood of the locals. The tracks are good, people from all walks of life and areas will attend this enthralling event.
