Force Gurkha RFC India is back in Goa after a year, for what is expected to be an extremely tough and adrenaline-filled fourth season. Starting from July 22, 2017, RFC India 2017 will be held at various locations within the State till July 30. In these nine days, participants will overcome rigorous obstacles in their quest for the country’s toughest off-road motorsport trophy.

This year, 40 teams from across the country, each comprising a driver and a co-driver, are going to compete against each other, with the top Indian driver of the competition getting monetary benefits worth $8000, including a free automatic entry to the Rainforest Challenge (RFC) Mother Event to be held in Malaysia later in the year.

Sponsored by Force Motors Ltd., RFC India was launched by Delhi-based Cougar Motorsport Pvt. Ltd in 2014. It is the India Chapter of the Malaysian RFC, which is listed among the top ten toughest motor races in the World and has over 20 editions worldwide. Though merely three editions old, RFC India is today the country’s toughest international off-road motorsport event and is also counted in the top three in the RFC Global Series. In the last three years, the event has had three successful editions in Goa as well as two regional chapters in Bangalore and Chandigarh.
