The team combined achieved 8 podium finishes in the third round.
Speaking on the achievement, Vimal Sumbly, Head Business - Premium, TVS Motor Company, said, “I am happy that we showcased a commendable performance in the third round of the Indian National Rally Championship (INRC) 2022 and made a clean sweep by winning all four categories that we participated in. This achievement is a testament to TVS Racing’s constant efforts to enhance its technological prowess and maintain its leadership in the two-wheeler motorsports scene.”

Pissay who is also a member of our annual carandbike Awards Jury took pole in all three stages of the rally scoring a total of 25 points in the third round. This took her to 50 points after three rounds of the INRC.
Commenting on her performance, Pissay said, ““When you have the pace and a solid team to back you up, there is no need to take undue risks. The speedy terrain at the Kethanoor windmill farms, had challenges with a lot of pebbles and stones which made the course very slippery. Thanks to my Apache RTR 200, a lean mean machine that helped me tackle every challenge that came my way.”
