It is pertinent to mention that these are first car racing tracks by a government. Pakistan has two racing tracks, but they are privately owned. Furthermore, car racing enthusiasm has increased in the country over the years. However, due to unavailability of the racing tracks, the racers could not get any proper facility to enjoy the sport.
This project would be a massive boost for the racers as well as for the sport. The government can earn extensive revenue in this area. The motorsports are incredibly famous in the world; henceforth, this project will open new doors for local racers and car race fans.
