The Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) has denied a recent report claiming rally driver Gaurav Gill misrepresented his achievements in his application to the Arjuna Award selection committee. The media report stated that there were inconsistencies in Gill's application, specifically mentioning that he "won 11 stages of the World Rally Championship" in 2018 in Annexure 1 of the application. The claim was dismissed by the World body the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Gill had participated in four WRC rallies last year - Italy, Finland, Great Britain and Australia - in the WRC2 category. The 11 stage wins were a part of the Kennards Hire Rally Australia under the WRC2/RC2 category. The sub-category is part of WRC as a whole and is loosely referred to WRC as well.
