CHINESE TAIPEI MOTOR SPORTS (CTMS)

Following the successful grant-assisted launch of a grassroots programme to attract more people to participate in motor sport through low-cost gymkhana events, the Chinese Taipei Motor Sports (CTMS) established a multiple-round Asia Auto Gymkhana Championship in 2017. This process involved the establishment of a set of regulations, preparation of the championship rounds, and communication of the project goals to other Asia Zone ASNs in order to build support for the competition. Following a second successful season in 2018, the ASN aimed to continue the activity, again supported by the grant programme with championship events being staged across five countries, in Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, Chinese Taipei and India. The programme would involve the expansion of the gymkhana concept more widely across the region, involving nine ASNs and a total of 32 competitors.
