giving racers the feeling of being actual, real-world, on-track racing drivers.

Ceylon Motor Sports Club (CMSC) was instrumental in conducting the CMSC Mobitel Race-at-Home Championship 2020, which was specially devised to enable speed-wizards to race from the comfort of their own homes and devices.

A mere eight competitors at the beginning, grew to around 50 by the end of the year 2020, while Mobitel helped CMSC overcome the greatest challenge, of the lack of a stable internet connection, by offering
the use of their state-of-the-art XStation with an internet speed of over 100Mbps.

The CMSC kick started the 2021 championship with a star-studded line up of competitors, who took part in a qualifier round on  August 1, while the fastest 28 drivers were separated into two classes. 

Top 14 were classified into the Pro Class while the next 14 were drawn into Amateur Class. 

The World renown game GranTurismo, which is used by the FIA in the World Motor Sport Games being the preferred global choice was the platform on Play Station 4 units.
