Scheduled for February 14 and 15, the event marks a significant moment in the festival's rapid rise, with Round 4 of the championship unfolding at the Manohar International Airport, according to a release.At the heart of the spectacle lies a tailor-made FIA-grade street circuit measuring 2.064 kilometres. Featuring 12 turns carved into the airport's expansive layout, the track is designed to encourage close racing, late braking, and constant position battles, setting the stage for an intense weekend of competition.

The Goa Street Race forms Round 4 of the Indian Racing League. With only narrow margins separating the leading teams, every lap around the Goa circuit could prove decisive in shaping the title narrative.

‘All teams will compete in identical Ligier JS F422 machinery, powered by a 1.3-litre turbocharged Alpine engine. The combination of equal performance and a tight street layout promises wheel-to-wheel racing, where driver skill and team strategy are likely to outweigh raw speed.
