Vath Chamroeun, secretary general of National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (COCC) said the car race is initiated by China in order to mark the 20th anniversary of China-Asean bilateral cooperation.
He said, as planned, the “2011 China-Asean International Touring Assembly and China-Asean Journalists Rally” will begin on Sept 9 through Oct 9 this year.
The rally will begin in China and go across five countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations: Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and to end up in Cambodia.
According to the schedule, Cambodia will host the end-up rally racing on Oct 7-8, beginning from Siem Reap province, hometown of Angkor Wat Temple to Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia.
Chamroeun said Cambodia is prepared to send two drivers for the race, the first ever that Cambodians are directly involved in the race and as well as the host of the event.
He added the procedure for the rally-racing is free with any kinds of cars, but speed is the subject for scoring.
