Team JK Tyre’s Gaurav Gill (co-driver Musa Sherif) has had a few disappointing rallies in the recent past, but this time around, he shot back like a true professional to top the overall chart in the Blueband Sports Rally of Coimbatore, the second round of the FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship for four-wheelers at the picturesque Kethanur windmill farm here on Sunday.
The seven-time National champion enjoyed a lead of a minute-and-a-half going into the final day. All he had to do was keep the car on the road and bring it safely back home. And, he did that in style for the title.
When Gill switched to ‘relaxed mode’, Arka Motorsport’s Karna Kadur tried his bit to pose some threat by winning the first two stages of the day. He made nine and 10 seconds respectively but, in the third, he did one better and clipped another 30 seconds on the World Rally championship driver.
