The Vietnam Offroad Cup is the largest and oldest offroad car racing competition in Vietnam. In 2019, the official name of the race is the PVOIL Cup 2019 – PVOIL VOC 2019 and it took place on September 28-29 at the Village of Vietnamese Ethnic Groups (Dong Mo) – Son Tay – Hanoi.

Track number 2 is for all 4 categories, providing thrilling uphill speed challenges. Track number 6 is exclusively for the Expanded category with 3 deep pits, which captivate the audience just like the rock climbing challenge from last year.
Track number 5, with its vertical wall climbing challenge, continues to be a tough puzzle for competing teams. However, the dry creek challenge at number 10 is expected to still be an impossible challenge for most teams, as proven in the previous season.
On the first day of competition, teams competed on tracks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9. The second day of competition will take place on tracks 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10.

In addition, this year, as requested by many racing teams, Adventure – the night challenge track – has returned after a one-year hiatus and took place on the night of the first competition day, September 28. This race segment has a strong traditional character, not only being a surprising challenge for participating athletes but also a truly unforgettable experience, where opponents become teammates and race together in the spirit of “the race is only completed when the whole team reaches the finish line”.
In the 11th season of the competition, in addition to hundreds of captivating performances on offroad tracks, PVOIL VOC 2019 will feature more activities to allow the audience to interact with the race.
