This rally is a testament to our commitment to empower women and to create a more robust and diverse motorsports community."The event is held in TSD (Time, Speed, Distance) format which is a unique form of rallying where crossing the chequered flag fastest is not the objective. Each team comprises of a driver and a navigator, where the navigator has to bear in mind the route instructions, calculate the average speed and ensure the team is on track and not behind or ahead of the schedule as both scenarios attract penalty points. Participants have to maintain specified times and average speeds (which are at par or lower than the legal limits) on various segments of a predefined route.The participants put forward various themes ranging from child abuse, 'nari shakti', women empowerment, child marriage, women's leadership, women's safety and many more.

The event will be flagged off from Siliguri and after covering Sikkim will conclude in Darjeeling.Thrill and excitement filled the air as the rally moved through the cities echoing the spirit of womanhood.
