Sukhwant Basra of DNA India wrote good article cum interview of 24 yrs old Gaurav Gill.

A speed demon in the mould of a champion: GG
The love affair does extract its price. Every time Gill tries to board a plane, the metal detector goes into overdrive. There are sixteen screws in his frame; 12 hold his ankle together while four reforged his left wrist. The former came from a horrific accident in his third motorcycle rally. :eek:

This year's National Rally will begin in Kochi in another 15 days, but National champion JK Tyre has pulled out of the seven-round championship.
Hindu article wrote:The sport's soaring cost seems to be the reason. "They have brought in new regulations and specifications which make the sport very expensive. The MAI (Motorsports Association of India) has introduced the Group N-Plus (fully modified cars category) this season, so the cost almost doubles. And they now have (points from) three cars for the National Championship, instead of the usual two. So, we'll have to run at least five cars to be in the race for the championship," explained Mr. Sharma.

The MAI also doesn't give the teams time to settle down with the new regulations, feels Mr. Sharma. "World over, regulations are put in place an year in advance, here they give us a few months."

Thanks a lot Jaydeep. Its always a pleasure to be here at the House of sports with all the passionate sports guys.

I am on tour most of the time in villages and districts for my NGO work spreading awareness among media about HIV/AIDS and could not visit the forums regularly.

But this is my yearly long leave to keep in touch with hockey and what better way than watch PHL  I am sending the press release to all the print media in the country and happy to see my reports in the forum through Hindu, PTI, rediff et al.

Hope to be regular again. For now I am enjoying hockey.

I just read that India's Naren Kumar finished 6th overall in the APRC Rally of Canberra (Australia), thus remaining fourth in the 2007 Asia-Pacific Rally Championship standings. Good news for Indian rallying.
