Chennai was scheduled to host a Formula 4 car race on December 9 and 10 last year. However, the races were not scheduled as per plan due to the Michuang cyclone rain and flood damage that occurred in various areas. Thus, the race was declared postponed.

Starting from Chennai Island, this car race will conclude at the Island grounds after the path going through Anna Salai, Sivananda Road, Napier Bridge, and back to the Island grounds (Theevu Thidal).
