Nikita Takle-Shiwani Parmar maintained their dominance and won the title in the women’s category (JNRC).
Today was the last day of Blue Band Sports INRC 2024 Rally of Maharashtra. In the 22 km leg of the rally from Bobiltek to Metkavle, even today, the drivers Arjun Rao, Venunath V, Ramachandran C, Yudhey Samrat lost control and the cars went off the road. As these three cars were lying on the road, it caused issues for other drivers. But later it was sorted out. Some cars had to abandon the nine and a half kilometer rally partially due to technical problems in Nilmati and Hirvepada areas. Even today the villagers of this area enjoyed watching the rally by sitting on the hills and trees. By clapping, whistling, and showing V for Victory signs, they boosted the enthusiasm of the car drivers.
