"We feel the excitement and pride of once again hosting one of the seven rounds of the Petlas 2022 Turkish Off-road Championship," he said. 
Commenting on the event, Vezirköprü Off-road Club President Abbas Tasalı said the club fully believes in the promotional power of the sport. "Our club has hosted many national and local races in our city in previous years. Awarded 'Best Event of the Year' four times within the Turkish Off-road Championship, our club has taken part in many projects aimed at developing motorsport and promoting our region. Our Federation, which has recently put great effort and support into ensuring that motorsport receives the attention it deserves in our country and that disciplines such as off-road reach wider audiences, has included our club in the national racing calendar again for the 2022 season. As the Vezirköprü Off-road Club, we are confident that we will stage a successful event with the support of the public institutions in our region, our sponsors and our federation."
