Indian Rally star Gaurav Gill stole the show and demonstrated nerves of steel to emerge as the hero on the opening day of the Rally of Coimbatore, Round 3 of the Champions Yacht Club FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship 2020, here on Saturday.The JK Tyre driver along with his co-driver Musa Sherif who is on the hunt for a record seventh national title started from where he left in Arunachal and went out all guns blazing from the word go and opened up a comfortable lead in the first two stages of the day itself.Gaurav drove cautiously henceforth and made sure to bring his car home in the remaining stages to go atop the chart after four stages with a total time of 58.41.8 minutes."It was a good day to rally. My strategy worked out perfectly and after pushing it to the limit initially, I dropped down pace to avoid any mishaps. I would say it was quite a clever driving by me and the key to win here is to be smart and know when exactly to go hard and when to be cautious," Gaurav said.MRF Tyre driver Dr. Bikku Babu and his co-driver Bonny Thomas was equally impressive on a day that was filled with DNF's and drove his Volkswagen Polo with precision to clock a total time of 01:00:19.5 hours to take the second position on the overall standing.Bikku came into his own in this round and is leading in his INRC 2 category.However, the biggest success story of the day has to be Fabid Ahmer (JK Tyre) who has stunned many big names to find himself on the third spot on the overall category. The INRC 3 driver and his co-driver Eldo Chacko returned with a total time of 01:00:08.3 hours to stay hot on heels of the leaders.The Rally of Coimbatore which is known for being one of the toughest of the calender saw some big names to drop out of contention including Amittrajit Ghosh, who was second after SS 2 and was the only driver posing a real threat to Gaurav lost out 30 seconds in service after SS 2 and slipped to 6th. He, however, blitzed his way in SS 3 clocking fastest time and was 7 seconds quicker than Gill and reclaimed his 2nd place.However, as luck would have it, his car developed a mechcal snag and he had to drop out eventually midway in the last stage.In the INRC 2 category, Team Yokohama's Chetan Shivram (and co-driver Sahid Salman) is sitting pretty on the second spot with a total time 01:01:13.1 hours, despite driving in a stock engine Volkswagen Polo followed by Sahil Khanna and Vidit Jain. (1:01:33.01 hours).Arjun Rao and Shanmuga SN (Yokohama Tyree) is trailing Fabid in the second position in the INRC 3 category followed by Team Nutulapati's Aditya Thakur and Virender Kashyap (MRF Tyres).Vaibhav Marathe and Suhan M Kabeer (Yokohama Tyres) came up with an impressive performance and is leading the INRC 4 category with a total time of 01:04:15.3 hours and will be a firm favourite to win the round on the final day.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
