New Delhi, May 21, 2020.
Providing motorsports enthusiasts the essence of the exciting rally
racing world, Hero MotoSports Team
Rally has introduced a
one-of-a-kind digital initiative - The
Rally Life Navigator.
Powered by the
rally-racing team of the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and
scooters, Hero MotoCorp, the Rally Life Navigator is an experiential boot-camp
that aims to introduce rally enthusiasts to navigation, a key skill required in
rally sport.
Open to everyone, the
initiative includes video tutorials and competitions that allow participants to
learn basic road-book skills while digitally exploring the popular global rally
destinations from the safety of their homes.
After three highly
enthralling challenges, Hero MotoSports is now hosting the most adventurous
challenge in the series – The Marathon
–scheduled on May 23-24, 2020. It will be a multi-location round hosted at real-world
rally tracks for an enhanced experience at moderate difficulty level.
Interested participants
can visit the official website of The Rally Life Navigator (https://www.heromotosports.com/trlnavigator) to register and test
their capabilities on the maps.
The initiative has already
witnessed overwhelming response so far with nearly 1000 global registrations for
eight road-book training sessions and three competitive navigation challenges.
Wolfgang Fischer, Head - Hero MotoSports Team Rally said, “The ‘Rally
Life Navigator' is an interactive virtual platform for the global rally fan
community to learn, engage in and digitally experience
the rally life, especially in the current situation. The initiative aids the
navigation journey of motorsport enthusiasts with tutorial videos, commonly
used lexicons and training road-books using digital mapping. We are sure that
the challenge will not only give the participants a rider's perspective, but
also build their appetite to experience the rally-life in the real world.”
