While to speaking to the press after the race, Rajiv Ruparelia noted that the rally was a learning curve for him and his team as the plan ahead for the upcoming rallies on the national calendar.

We are definitely happy and looking at this as a great opportunity to prepare for the ARC Equator Rally as a dress rehearsal for the WRC Safari Rally in June as well, since we hope to be part of its historic return to Kenya,” Rajiv emphasized to the press.

“In the same spirit, it’s a win-win situation getting to rally with such big boys as we wait for the NRC calendar resumption back home,’ he added.
