Although some other races have already taken place, Racemandu is acclaimed as Nepal's first legal race organized under provision of Federation de Motorcyclism FIM.
Racemandu is a portmanteau of "race" and " Kathmandu".
Racemandu was held at Satdobato Swimming Complex for the first time. It was a satisfactory one but it motivated lots of Nepalese riders and communities. The first series was sponsored by Honda but bikes from other companies like Bajaj, Yamaha, Ktm, Kawasaki, and Hyosung participated in the race ranging from 150cc to 250cc. The chief guest of the programme was sports minister Yuvraj Lama and A.I.G Bhishma Prasai. It was organized in order to promote motor sports tourism in Nepal.
