Competitors have their sleeves rolled up ahead of the sixth round of the National Autocross Championship, which will be staged on Sunday at the demanding Jamhuri Park track with racing starting at 9.30 a.m.

After a four week lull, top drivers inlcuding Baldev Chager, Tejas Hirani, Anish Chouhan, Amit Bhatt and Amit Pandya are itching to renew their close fought rivalry as the season heads into crucial territory, where the winners are likely to be determined.

The big question though, is if the track will be wet or dry.

Most drivers are accustomed to dicing in the dust as the tyre grip plays out, but the rainy season is here, which opens up a new dimension on the battle front. It means competitors who have mastered muddy conditions are likely to upset the status quo.
