After Narain Karthikeyan (A1GP) & Karun Chandhok (GP2) it was the turn of Gaurav Gill to rewrite history. In the fifth round of the Asia Pacific Rally Championship, Gill driving for Team MRF earned the honours of becoming the first Indian to win an APRC round. He did that in style with a yawning gap of 1 minute 6.9 seconds between him and Taguchi, who finished second.
“I was determined to do well here and get on the podium,” said a jubilant Gill after the race. Praising his codriver, Gill added, “Jagdev (Singh) has been of great help to me because he has been co-driving Karamjeet, the ex-world champion in PWRC (Production World Rally Championship). Katsuhiko Taguchi completed a perfect weekend for team MRF beating Motor Image’s Cody Crocker to finish second giving the Indian team a 1-2 finish.
