Rally Legend Jagat Nanjapa Wins The Force Gurkha RFC South India 2016

Jagat Nanjapa along with his co-driver, Chethan, representing V5 Offroaders of Coorg, won the inaugural Force Gurkha Rain Forest Challenge South India. This win has granted him a free automatic entry to Force Gurkha RFC India 2016 that will be held in the state of Goa starting from 22nd July to 29th July. Jagat Nanjapa is the second corfirmed participant of the 2016 Goa event after Tejinder Pal Singh who won the RFC North India last week.

The RFC was divided into six extremely tough tasks, or Special Stages, over two days. The competition had an overall 11 teams competing for the trophy. With this win, Jagat Nanjapa has secured an automatic entry to Force Gurkha RFC India 2016 that will be held in Goa from 22nd July to 29th July. He is the second confirmed participant of Force Gurkha RFC India 2016 that allows maximum 25 teams from across the country to compete for the RFC India title. Force Gurkha RFC India was launched in 2014 by Delhi-based Cougar Motorsport Pvt. Ltd. as India's only international off-road motorsport event and the India Chapter of the iconic Rainforest Challenge of Malaysia, which is counted among the top ten toughest motor races in the World. Following the successful completion of two editions of RFC India, the North and South Regional Chapters have been launched this year to give a boost to the off-road motorsport culture mushrooming across the country

Speaking about his experience of participating in and winning the South India Chapter of this prestigious event, Nanjapa said, “It was a superb experience. Certain obstacles that we did in a few Special Stages were completely new experiences for us. They made us push our vehicle to its limit and also made us realize that a lot of upgrade is required on our Jeep to make it ready for the Goa event. Apart from vehicle modification, I am also going to work on my physical fitness over the next few months to be completely ready for the competition ahead.”
