Malaysian driver Tan Eng Joo (co-driver Tan Choon Hong) from the Force Motors Team has won the Rainforest Challenge (RFC) India 2015 with an overall score of 2163 points.
Tan won the week-long extremely tough competition after successfully completing 26 Special Stages (SS) and the Twilight Zone at the second edition of India's only international off-road motorsport event.
Fellow Malaysian driver Mervyn Lim (Hamizan Bin Abdul Hamid), also representing Force Motors, came second with 2095 points.
Kabir Waraich and co-driver Yuvraj Tiwana from Gerrari Offroaders Chandigarh, with 1941 points, emerged as the top Indians in the challenge in which 22 teams from across the country participated.
Therefore, as per RFC India rules, they have secured an automatic and free entry in the RFC Mother Event that will be held in Malaysia in December. Interestingly, the top three spots this year are identical to last year's results.
