The Challenge Rally (Extreme) will be open to jeeps/cars/bikes and be held over a period of two days with the participants being required to cover approximately 200 kilometres per day. The route will be challenging and adventurous, covering ‘axle-breaking’ riverbeds (both dry and wet), fast tarmacs with winding hair pins, unmetalled surfaces and exhilarating hilly terrain in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.

The competitive stretches (SS) will be evenly spaced and followed by the transport sections. Participants (25 four-wheelers and 55 two-Wheelers) are likely to face five competitive sections (SS) on each day, which challenge the driver’s concentration abilities, physical endurance and driving skills. Also, for the four-wheelers, there will be a night stage. The areas covered during these two eventful days of SJOBA Rally are Ropar, Gharshankar, Mansowal and Hoshiarpur.
