Popular Rally

History and Legacy

At a time when motor sport, let alone a Car Rally, was unheard of in Kerala, Popular launched its pride of an event – The Popular Car Rally – in 1983. Being forerunners in the automotive business, it is only natural that we took the lead in popularizing the motorsport in Kerala. Till date, no other automotive dealer owns a car rally in India. The Popular Rally started an adventurous journey through the twisted and rugged surfaces in some of the most picturesque locales of Kerala and soon it emerged as a vital leg of the Indian National Rally Championship, in 1988. Having conducted 23 editions of the Rally, we have reinforced the motorsport euphoria in Kerala. People throng the venue hearing the roar of the revving engines and cheer the rally drivers enthusiastically. Top names in the field from all over India vie for the prestigious Popular Rally Championship title. If some of them are attracted to it by its adventurous routes, there are also others who fancy the tarmac road which is a characteristic feature of the Popular Rally. Wide and massive media coverage, both print and visual, make this rally a prime event in Kerala’s sports calendar. As far as Kerala is concerned motorsport has become synonymous with Popular Rally. For us, the Rally is a chance to express our passion for automobiles, albeit a little differently.

After running for 22 years, Popular Rally took a respite for a while, but bounced back with a bang in its 23rd edition in 2017, although it was not an INRC event. 25 teams from all across India zoomed from the flag off ramp at the Marine Drive, Kochi. Held in 5 different categories, at the scenic Kalady-Malayattoor Plantations, the Rally was run by Southern Adventures & Motorsports. In the words of the ace Rallyist Daraius N. Shroff… “The Popular Rally 2017 surpassed every expectation I had of an Indian Rally. What was very impressive was the action at the Parc Ferme. The Show drew a lot of crowd.” The Gypsy Cup Winner, Mr.Anand Manjooran commented that, “the Popular Rally 2017 is without question the most authentic representation of the sport we have ever produced here in Kerala.”
