Indian Motorsport Season Guide 2026
A high-level guide to how the Indian motorsport season is shaped — the major championships, the formats that fill the calendar, and the venues that host them. Whether you're chasing an FMSCI national championship or running an open / non-FMSCI club meet, this is the landscape.
Looking for exact 2026 dates? Always check the official source — fmsci.co.in/#/calendar — or the individual organizer. Dates shift year to year, and rounds are sometimes added, postponed, or relocated. Rehz Racing Software is not the official FMSCI calendar.
FMSCI national championships
The FMSCI (Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India) is India's FIA / FIM-recognized national authority. These are the major sanctioned series shaping the year:

Open & non-FMSCI events
A huge share of Indian motorsport happens outside the FMSCI championship calendar — open meets, club rounds, track days, college fests, TSD rallies, hill climbs and one-off promoter events. RRS powers these too. The platform doesn't require FMSCI sanctioning to run — it just enforces FMSCI rules cleanly when you do.
Vroom Drag Meet

Where: Hosur, Tamil Nadu
Annual flagship — runs alongside INDRC Round 1.
Hill Climbs (Coimbatore, Chikkamagaluru and others)

Mix of FMSCI and regional/club organizers.

Club rounds and one-off open meets.
Track days & open practice

Organizing a 2026 event — FMSCI or open?
RRS runs both. For FMSCI rounds we capture license numbers, scrutineering, parc fermé, championship points and timing exactly to FMSCI's sporting code. For open / non-FMSCI meets, we give you the same registrations, ticketing, timing, paddock and on-ground POS — without the championship-points machinery you don't need. Talk to us →
