Directions
Getting to the Coimbatore race track can be a bit of an ordeal and frustrating for the people who are new to Coimbatore. That said, ask for the Podanur (Pothanur) Chettipalyam road. There are many approaches to get to this road and I will not detail them out because it will get more confusing. Once you get onto it, just ask for the race track. The track is about 25kms out of the city of Coimbatore.
