GANGTOK,: Sikkim Motorsports has added another significant milestone to
its growing legacy with an impressive performance at the 6th edition of the JK
Tyre Rally of the Himalayas (ROH), widely regarded as one of Asia’s most
demanding rally competitions, held across Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh.
Representing
Team Sikkim, driver Annapurna Alley and navigator Puran Tamang delivered a
remarkable performance to secure the first runner-up position in the Pro
category of the TSD four-wheeler rally, standing out in a field defined by
endurance, precision and skill.
The rally
commenced on September 26 in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, and concluded on
September 30 at Padum in Zanskar, Ladakh. Traversing some of the most
unforgiving landscapes in the region, the route cut through the rugged expanses
of Spiti and Lahaul Valley before entering Zanskar district via the formidable
Shinkhula Pass. Competitors were tested by an ever-changing surface of snow,
mud and tarmac, making the event as unpredictable as it was punishing.
More than 144
cars and motorcycles from across the country participated in the rally, which
featured Extreme, Moto and TSD categories. The scale of participation and the
severity of the terrain once again underscored the stature of the Rally of the
Himalayas as a premier motorsport event in the region.
The rally was
organised by Himalayan X-Treme Motorsports.
