Heavy downpour and a surprise element in the form of a night stage on Day 1 of ISUZU RFC India 2018, the country’s toughest international off-road motorsport event, ensured a roaring start to the competition.
At the end of Special Stages (SS) 1-5 of the competition, as per the Provisional Results, Sanbir Singh Dhaliwal (co-driver Gurpartap Singh Sandhu) from Chandigarh was at the top of the score board with 387 points out of 500.
Jagat Nanjappa (co-driver Chetan Changappa) from Coorg and Arunachal Pradesh’s Chow Ujjal Namshum (co-driver Ingpeng Mein) were at the second and third positions with 332 and 300 points respectively. The other two contestants who made it to the top five on the score board are Chandigarh’s Gurmeet Virdi (co-driver Kirpal Singh Tung) with 281 points and Hyderabad’s Dr Chaitanya Challa (co-driver Shabarish Jagarapu) with 268 points, at the fourth and fifth positions respectively.
The contestants will be given a few hours after the announcement of the Provisional Results for protest, before the final results for SS 1-5 are declared.
