The 55th Kolkata VCCR edition
The Delhi edition of the Statesman Vintage and Classic Car Rally will be held just weeks after the successful conclusion of the 55th edition of the Kolkata rally.
The Kolkata edition of the Statesman Vintage and Classic Car Rally was held on January 11 this month.
The Kolkata edition witnessed a spectacular journey into the past as vintage and classic cars lined up at the Royal Calcutta Turf Club Polo Grounds on a bright Sunday morning.
The city turned back the clock nearly a century, with over 150 vintage and classic cars and motorcycles gracing Kolkata’s streets.
The rally was flagged off by Lieutenant General Ram Chander Tiwari, GOC-in-C Eastern Command, and covered a 30-kilometre route from the Turf Club grounds through Shovabazar Grey Street crossing to Harish Mukherjee Road in south Kolkata.
Timeless automotive masterpieces rolled past, transforming the cityscape into a living museum of motoring heritage.
Tollywood superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee, who attended the rally, said, “This rally is the oldest in India, and I first attended it as a child. Even today, I feel the same excitement as I return to this extravagant automobile celebration.”
Vineet Gupta, Director of The Statesman Group, said on the occasion: “The rally has been a source of pride for The Statesman for decades, and the RCTC grounds allow us to relive this dream with warmth and ease.”
