Minster of Sports Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara praised the efforts of the organizers who have taken steps to reward the drivers and the riders who take great risks and invest their time and effort in participating in the competitions the minister added that “At the very beginning of my tenure as the Minister of Sports when I attended the first awards ceremony I requested that the drivers and the riders should be compensated with something other than the usual certificate and trophies and SLARDAR has managed to do that.” He also went on to speak about the cohesion that is required as he added that “I know there can be altercations when different parties are working together as they will want to make sure their respective organization is highlighted, but we need to sort out our differences and need to focus on doing what’s best for the sport”
