Mahindra XUV 500 wins Dakshin Dare 2012

The XUV 500 became the first diesel off road car to win the Dakshin Dare 2012, with the rally concluding in Bangalore today. It was a grueling five day rally to test the mettle of both Man & Machine.


National Champion Gaurav Gill (co-driver Musa Sheriff) took the top honours, along with Lohith Urs and co driver Chipong Chiwan, in the Ultimate Extreme category.    Gaurav and Lohith clenched the moment under the Ultimate (Extreme) category. The other two categories were Endurance and Corporate.


In the past, M&M has been able to wade through the toughest of terrains, especially when it comes to huge participation numbers, seen year-on-year at the Mahindra Great Escape. However, it seems quite obvious that the terrain would not be as hard as the Himalayas!  


Mr. Vivek Nayer, Sr. Vice-President, Marketing, Automotive Division, M&M. said,  "Our vehicles have conquered the southern terrain with dogged determination and confidence, creating history in Indian motor sports.  We are proud to have won one of the toughest rallies, and our winning teams deserve special mention for their unstinted passion."


Here are the final results:



Results:
 Extreme Category: 1. Gaurav Gill/Musa Sheriff (Mahindra); 2. Lohitt Urs/Chipong Chiwan (Mahindra); 5. Suhem Kabeer/Jeeva Rathinam (Mahindra). 

Endure Category: 1. Sanjay Takale/Musthafa (Mahindra); 2. Karthick Maruthi/Sankar Anand (Mahindra).
