Vietnam’s biggest off-road racing event, PVOIL VOC 2019, begins.

The Vietnam Off-road Car Race PVOIL Cup 2019, also known as PVOIL VOC 2019, is set to be a groundbreaking event in the world of off-road racing. With a focus on international standards of organization, advanced scoring technology, and a commitment to safety, fairness, and transparency, this season promises to be the most professional to date.

To ensure the safety of athletes and minimize damage to vehicles and individuals, the organizing committee has made changes to the regulations in all categories: Vietnam Pickup, Basic, Advanced, and Expanded.

Responding to the request of many racing teams, the Adventure – night challenge track – will make its return after a one-year hiatus. This stage is not only a test of skill and endurance but also a unique opportunity for competitors to bond and work together as they face the challenges of the night.

This season features a total of 11 tracks, including two side-by-side racing tracks. Track 2, open to all four racing categories, promises thrilling speed climbs. Meanwhile, Track 6 is specially designed for the Expanded category, featuring three deep holes that will captivate the audience, reminiscent of last year’s rock climbing test.

Track 5, known for its challenging straight wall climb, will continue to test the skills of the competing teams. On the other hand, Track 10, the Bone Dry Challenge, remains an infamous obstacle that has proven to be nearly impossible to conquer.

On the first competition day, teams will face off on tracks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9. The second competition day will feature tracks 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10.
