The MUBA Auto Gymkhana Cup 2019 was held from November 30th to December 1st, 2019 in Indonesia. Auto Gymkhana, a racing format recognized by the FIA, has gained popularity in Asia, Oceania, and Europe due to its short and tight tracks, speed limits, and accessibility for a wide range of cars.
The event featured 28 racers from Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Brunei, and Vietnam.
Representing Vietnam were two racers from the Redline Racing Team, Nguyễn Hồng Vinh and Trương Nam Thành.
The race took place at the Skyland International Circuit in Indonesia. All racers used the same type of car with a reverse steering configuration to emphasize driving skills, which is the crucial factor in Auto Gymkhana racing.
In this race, Nguyễn Hồng Vinh performed exceptionally well, overcoming the challenge of using a reverse steering car and achieving a ranking of 9th out of 28 racers.
Additionally, in the Team race category, Vietnam secured the 8th position out of 14 teams, showcasing their driving skills.
Entering the Top 10 in a speed race according to FIA standards is no easy feat, but Vietnamese racers have made a breakthrough for the racing scene in Vietnam.
Prior to this event, in July 2019, Nguyễn Hồng Vinh, Trương Nam Thành, and Nguyễn Đức Duy from the Redline Racing Team participated in the Round 1 of the Asia Auto Gymkhana Championship (AAGC) 2019. This championship, initiated by the FIA, aims to develop motorsport across Asia and features races held in various countries such as India, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Thailand. The first round of AAGC 2019 took place in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
By participating in Asian races, Vietnam is gradually integrating into the international racing community. With proper investment, the development of racing in Vietnam can be significant, and there is even potential for the emergence of a Vietnamese F1 racer.
