110 participants braved the unforgiving conditions of the mighty Thar Desert in the third edition of the India Baja rally.
TVS RACING CONTINUES its fine form in Indian rallying as their rider Lorenzo Santolino won the Moto class and thereby won himself the ‘Ticket to Dakar’ category of the rally as well. After earning the ‘Road to Dakar’ status last year, the India Baja has been a highly competitive event for all participants who wish to make their dreams of riding in the world’s toughest rally come true. For 2018, the organisers wanted to spice things up. They wanted to add an extra dimension by introducing the analogue road books for the riders rather than the GPS, which is the exact system that the riders use in Dakar.
