Off-Road Action Moves to Akfırat

Round 5 of the 2017 Turkish Off-road Championship takes place on 19-20 August at Istanbul Park and the surrounding area. Organised by Istanbul Park Sports Club, abbreviated to İPSK, the event will be run over two separate stages, a forest stage on the first day and a spectator stage on the second.
The crews, who will start at 12:30 on Saturday 19 August, will tackle the 21km Forest special stage three times. The stage contains 20 gates, and its completion will bring the first day to a close.

On Sunday 20 August, the action begins at 11:00. This time the crews will cover the Intercity special stage four times over the course of the day. The 3km stage, made up of 10 gates, will consist of three laps per start, and those who make it to the finish at the end of the day will have covered 36km.
The service park, to be set up in the İPOP closed parking area, will be open to visitors. Fans wishing to watch the race can also enter through the İPOP gate on Sunday and follow the spectator special stage up close.

After two action-packed days, the event, totalling 128.4km of which 99km are special stages, will conclude with the prize-giving ceremony at 17:30.
