Initially attracting local enthusiasts, the event has begun to draw attention from broader regions, bringing in a mix of seasoned competitors and promising newcomers. Each year, the event has enhanced its format, making it more engaging for participants and viewers, and more attractive for sponsors like CTrack, Dross, and USN, whose involvement has added a professional sheen to the proceedings.
