Motor Sports Competition or Rally is now claimed as one of automotive competitions which is very popular in the world as there are many people and agencies concerned in the competition including drivers, organisers, automobile manufacturers in order to develop car racing competition. In the Kingdom of Thailand, the sport of motor racing is known since World War II when HRH Prince Biraphong Bhanubhandra incredibly captured titles three successive times. Since then rallying activity in Thailand becomes more and more famous when there is the 1st Asian Highway Rally Championships in Thailand. The Championships saw drivers from Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand in action in the competition. With an aspiration to uplift rally standard and to promote tourism in the Kingdom of Thailand, the Auto Racing Magazine Team decides to organise the 1st International Rally competition entitled International Rally of Thailand in 1989. The 1st International Raly drew a dramatic success and a number of wellknown overseas drivers in the competition like Japanese Kenjiro Shinozuka, Australian Fred Goeentas, three Malaysian racers – Kan Chee Hong, Henry Yap and Francis Lee along with Thai rising star - Panus Kuansathaporn, Pornsawan Siriwatanakul, Surakij Kulkumthorn, Kitiphume Chaojaksiri, etc. The major sport activity is incredibly and tremendously known in the country when the Federation International de L’ Automobile: (FIA.) gives recognition and sanctions the International Rally of Thailand to be one of the main rallies in the Asia-Pacific Region three years later. Since then, the International Rally of Thailand attracts a number of world famous racing teams such as Tommy Makinen, Colin McRae, Richard Burns, Peter ‘Possum’ Bourne, Yoshio Fujimoto, Nobuhiro ‘Monster’ Tajima, Yoshihiro Kataoka, etc. Auto Racing Magazine Team and working staff not only upgrade rallying standard in the country but also bring rally activity into a limelight when the organisers decided to have live tv broadcast of the competition via the most famous television channel TV.7 In 2002, His Majesty The King graciously presented the prestigious King’s Cup Trophy to the Organisers to award to the overall winner of the international Rally of Thailand.
