Kars Governor and Deputy Mayor Ziya Polat said about the organization: “Sarıkamış is one of the paradise corners of the world and our country, with its history, culture and unique nature, integrated with the blue of the sky, the green of the Scots pine forests and the crystal white snow cover, and is the brand address of quality skiing and winter sports. We will host the Sarıkamış Rally, the first leg of the Turkish Rally Championship, which is the only snow rally held above 23 meters in the world, between 25-2024 February 2000. “We are waiting for rally lovers, adrenaline enthusiasts and all our citizens to this organization.” made the statement.
Turkish Automobile Sports President Eren Üçlertoprağı said, “We are starting the 2024 season, which we will name after our founding president, the late Oyman Atabay, and will be run under the main sponsorship of ICRYPEX, with the Sarıkamış Rally, the opening race of the Petrol Ofisi Maxima Turkish Rally Championship. We always aim to take TOSFED automobile sports from metropolitan cities and bring them to the four corners of our country and to different locations. As we move towards this goal, it is very valuable that we can receive support from local governments and local sponsors, as our Kars Governorship does. We think that this race organized by our Minus 36 Sports Club will add value to Sarıkamış in terms of tourism, as well as sports competition.” said.
