SLAS took the initiative to organise and conduct ‘Katukurunda 202’ under strict health regulations last year, when the country was recovering from the covid 19 pandemic. No spectators were allowed for the 2021 event but the organisers have decided to admit a limited number of spectators on 4 December. Tickets could be purchased online by logging on to www.slas.lk.

Nippon Paints, SLT- Mobitel, Exide, Mobil, Wurth, Pink Auto Care, Duluck and Freelan Industries have agreed to make Katukurunda 2022 a reality.
