Mumbai, March 5, 2017: The city of Mumbai is all set to see a new record of sorts, with as many as 1400 women competing in the third edition of the WIAA Women’s Rally to the Valley on Sunday.
Close to 300 cars, with young women and old inside, will hit the roads early in the morning and drive all the way towards Lonavala in what promises to be an exciting contest.
The Time, Speed and Distance (TSD) rally is being organised to mark the International Women’s Day to empower the ladies of the country. The participants will be educated about road safety as well, making it a unique initiative.
