On Saturday, January 18, the long-awaited HRL Champions Gala was held, a landmark event for the 2024 season.

 

Throughout the year, HRL drivers have pushed themselves to the limit, putting on a captivating show at every race venue. On this evening, the committee would like to pay tribute to their efforts, perseverance and passion. The HRL would like to emphasize that every participant deserves to be congratulated. Without the commitment of the race teams, there would simply be no competition.
