Gaurav Gill retired in the last transport stage after finishing seventh in the Production World Rally Championship’s Cyprus rally after his car stalled, according to an official press release. Gill also lost out on the championship point that he would have earned for finishing seventh.
Gill almost made up lost ground on Sunday despite overnight rains in Limassol, that resulted in damp and muddy conditions.
The day featured three stages spread over 82.27km and Gaurav initially suffered a rock-hit.
Gaurav said: “We were going fast but hit a boulder on the left which bent the left front anti roll bar and damaged the steering arm. However we were committed to finish the stage at any cost.” After that, he drove flat out but could only move up five places from his earlier 12th position.
