Team Mahindra Adventure at MRF FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship 2018 Rally of Arunachal, Amittrajit Ghosh (co-driver Ashwin Naik) showed great tactical acumen to win the Rally of Arunachal, Round 3 of the MRF FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship 2018. Ghosh, who exhibited amazing fightback on Day 1 to rise from ninth to third, enjoyed a much-needed slice of luck as overnight leader Gaurav Gill (Musa Sherif) pulled out of the competition as their car broke down in the sixth stage. Ghosh tackled the day’s three stages cautiously, finishing second in SS5, third in SS6 and again second in SS7. The winners started the Rally of Arunachal on an ominous note, taking the ninth place due to a technical issue. But both of the kept their morals high as Ashwin kept pushing until they both managed to bounce back to the victory.
