Outgoing Division Three Champion Said Hamad and Jaswinder Chana of Yana Tyres team came home 9th and 10th overall. Munir Khan co-driven by physically challenged Sam Jethwa earned his second career win in the Two Wheel Drive class after his fairy tale drive in Mombasa last year.

Chager expressed worries that he must revert to his winning formula he exhibited on winning the championship in 2008. “We were quite rusty on the first loop but when we started pushing in the second loop, we damaged the shocks,” said Chager.

Chager was happy though that the increase of the restrictor from 32mm to 33mm improved the pace. “You could actually tell that you are gaining speed especially in the straight,” said Chager.
