Amittrajit Ghosh (co-driver Ashwin Naik) had a minor power glitch going into the final loop. However, the young man kept his cool to emerge the day’s leader in the Rally of Coimbatore, the third round of the FMSCI Blueband Sports Indian National Rally Championship for four wheelers, here on Saturday.
Three-time APRC champion Gaurav Gill (Aniruddha Rangnekar), set the tone at the start winning the first two stages with ease, but dropped out after two kilometres into the third stage.
Championship leader Aroor Arjun Rao (Satish Rajagopal) had a rather quiet first loop in which Karna Kadur (Nikhil Pai) finished on top. It was only a few seconds that split the top three going into the final loop. It turned out to be the most exciting stage with Ghosh coming out trumps.
