South India’s internationally renowned Classic Autorickshaw Challenge became famous in 2006 for its ground breaking move into adventure tourism and the autorickshaw rally scene. This year organisers are taking their responsibilities to the environment one step further with the implementation of a carbon-offsetting scheme, which will see the development of sustainable local agriculture and the planting of trees in Tiruvannamalai. With this simple but historic move, the CEAT Classic Autorickshaw Challenge 2007 becomes the world’s first environmentally responsible motor sport event.
For lovers of motor sports, rallies and racing, the guilt of environmental impact can be a difficult subject. The organizers of the CEAT Classic Autorickshaw Challenge 2007 are very aware of this compromise and in conjunction with ‘Trees for the Future’ have developed a scheme in which the total CO2 emissions of the rally will be offset. ‘Trees for the Future’ is an NGO which specializes in seed distribution, agro forestry training, and helping communities around the world plant trees; and they will facilitate the voluntarily planting of over 6,000 trees in the Tamil Nadu village of Tiruvannamalai.
Hailed as “An amazing race for the clinically insane”, the Autorickshaw Challenge supports teams through every type of micro-climate possible; from major cities to off-the-map rural villages. The group of 67 like minded international participants are privileged to an intimate journey of cultural experiences, of both land and people. Past Autorickshaw Challenges have focused on improving educational supplies and resources, this year the participants will respond to their environmental conscience too. Future events will continue the success their charitable commitment; this however will be the first time that the environment will receive an equal place in the planning and execution of an expedition level event. Chennai Event Management Services, the organizers behind the Challenges, hope that the success of this hugely innovative program will be a pivotal development for the larger motor sports and tourism industries.
Every tangible aspect of the race has been figured into the carbon “sequestering” quota; from the carbon footprint of the participants’ flights to the support vehicles to the baggage transport. At present international certification standards for this form of agro forestry are non-existent, both the organizers and Trees for the Future have therefore pioneered a program design specifically for the race. It is with this forward thinking style of organisation that Chennai Event Management Services hope to see a new era of environmental accountability.

Help answer the question about amazing motor sport
High Functioning Autisim….Normal Boy..?My son Kyle was percieved as normal at birth but when he turned three, my husband and I noticed that there was something a little different about him than out other three children. We couldn't put our finger on it, he was just different, more aloof, and quieter than our other kids. We brought him to our doctor just to ask some questions and he said something about how he thought Kyle may have a high finctioning form of Autism (autism that is not too severe). He refered Kyle to a doctor that specializes with autistic children and he confirmed the case, saying that we should be looking for signs such as low motor functions and lack of co-ordination, amoung many other things. Most of the things that we were told to look out for were present, however Kyle seems to actually have hightened motor skills and amazing co-ordination. He is a soccer goalie and is doing fantastic and he is great at sports and just seems to have better co-ordination than the average person. can anyone explain ?
