• Completes 10,218 kms in 10 days. Breaks previous Guinness World Record of 8046.74 kms

• In another feat, Mr. Thomas Chacko completes a 78-days long national expedition covering the lenght and breadth of the country 

First Feat :

Tata Motors today felicitated Mr. Srikarunya Subrahmanyam a Bangalore based motoring enthusiast and his team for having set the Guinness World Record by accomplishing the longest journey of 10,218 kms, in a Tata Nano, in 10 days, breaking the current record of 8046.74 kms. The team set on an adventure on March 21, 2013 from Kanyakumari to circumnavigate the country and successfully returned victorious on March 30, 2013 in Bangalore.

Second Feat :

Tata Motors today unveiled the book 'Atop the World' written and edited by Mr. Thomas Chacko. The book captures Mr. Chacko's dream project of exploring the country in a Tata Nano. Mr. Chacko successfully completed his 78-day long dream project on July 21, 2012. The 78-day all India drive has tested the Nano across the some of the most rugged terrains of the country and through all kinds of weather.

Some qoutes from Ace Indian Racer, Narain Karthikeyan, who felicitated both the motorists 

"I lately have seen a new breed of traveller emerge, one who has a streak of adventure and passion for motoring. I have known people who have driven immense distances just for the fun of it, even though a far more painless option of taking a flight or a train was always there. This is exactly the spirit that encourages enthusiasts like Srikarunya and Thomas to overcome challenges that comes with driving long distances especially the sort of mileage that they have done. But all this effort has to be backed up by a reliable package - which is the car and having been involved with the Nano since it existed on a drawing board, I am not surprised that it has managed to achieve this."
