The FMSCI Indian National Rally: The FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship (INRC) 2026 arrived in Coimbatore for Round 2, and the gravel roads around the city gave it a finish worth the journey.

The Blueband Sports Rally of Coimbatore was contested on September 19 and 20 by 64 competitors.

Over two days the crews faced eight stage runs and 110.80 km of competitive distance, almost entirely on gravel. Saturday's loop ran Black Thunder (13.50 km) and S.M. Agro (14.20 km) twice each. On Sunday the same roads came back in reverse, as S.M. Agro (R) and Black Thunder (R), so crews had to read familiar ground from the other direction.
