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.”

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.”
