Four Goan teams will participate in the Rainforest Challenge (RFC) India 2022 off-road motorsport competition to be held in Goa from July 23 to 30.
Twenty-seven teams from across India will take part in the eighth edition of India’s "biggest and toughest" off-road event which will be held in various parts of Goa, the organisers said. This year, Dattaraj Raut Dessai (co-driver Siddesh Yadav Naik), Ibrahim Firaz Shaik (Imran Garag), Tejas P Shindolkar (Yogesh Nandkarni) and Cedric Jordan DaSilva will represent Goa at the prestigious off-road motorsport event.
Launched in 2014 by Delhi-based Cougar Motorsport, RFC India is the India Chapter of the Rainforest Challenge of Malaysia, which is ranked No. 3 in the ‘Five Toughest Off-Road Races in the World’ by Skoda Motorsport (2018). Today, RFC India is counted amongst the top two RFC Global events out of the 45 editions held across 22 countries and it enjoys a cult following in the Indian and international off-roading community. The off-road motorsport competition tests the contestants’ driving and vehicle recovery skills, team spirit along with their physical and mental strength under extreme off-road conditions.
