On their way to the Arabian, stood the final Windmill leg of the rally- the last chance for the drivers to win the coveted competition. The four stages of the day were set in the hills of Koppal district which formed a scenic route, with dense clouds cover while the cars brought in the thunder. A dirt track running up and down the slopes with gravel and slushy corners made for the ultimate adrenaline pumping finale. Altogether the drivers drove a total distance of 500 kms across the four stages bringing the final day to an exciting end. The top honours for the entire rally went to Team Maruti’s Sandeep Sharma and Varun Davessar in the extreme category registering a total time of 3:41:26, in their Maruti Gypsy.
