Maruti Suzuki Raid-de-Himalaya is organised in association with country's leading motorsport organizer, Himalayan Motorsport. According to Mr Vijay Parmar, President of Himalayan Motorsport, "Maruti Suzuki Raid-de-Himalaya 2015 promises to be tougher and meaner this time with high uncertainties and enthralling driving. As early onset of winters is predicted in the western Himalayan region, participants may actually face snow and icy winds, mercury falling to 15 degree Celsius below zero at places."

Mr Aditya Aggarwal, General Manager, Maruti Suzuki, said, "We are overwhelmed to see the response received by our flagship motorsport event Maruti Suzuki Raid-De-Himalaya. Raid has always been the most challenging rallies and each year we try to bring in more excitement and make it tougher for the participants. The open format and multi terrain routes with extreme climate conditions bring out the tougher sides of the participants and their driving skills."
