"We are finding it increasingly unfeasible to run it in Mumbai or around it. This is the 24th edition and we had to cut short the competitive sector by three kms per loop (three in all) following a landslide even as our people were surveying the route four days ago," said Srikant Karani of Sportscaft at a media conference last night.
"Things are becoming difficult every year and we may have to shift it out of Mumbai in future," said Karani who added that the event has received two entries from Bangalore, four from Bhopal and one from Dehradun, besides from other parts of Maharashtra - other than Mumbai - from Nashik, Pune, Thane etc.
"This is probably the only rally for scooters run in the world and is certainly the only event in India," he said, adding, "most of these guys keep their scooters readied only for this event as they use their cars and bikes for daily commuting."
"The upper limit of entries is 40," Karani said.
