Amitrajjit and Ashwin, winners of 2016 K1000 rally.

Double National Champion Amittrajit and Ashwin driving for the Mahindra Adventure team in their super XUV 500.

The crew came so close to winning the 2016 INRC championship in their XUV but handed it over to Karna Kadur due to a mechanical failure in the last rally of that season.

Amittrajit has won several rallies and has been a regular at the podium. He is yet to win a championship with the Mahindra team and will be partnering Gaurav Gill as his team-mate in the other XUV for the current season.

Both the XUVs will be running a similar specification to last year in the opening round at the South India rally in Chennai and expected to get new suspension upgrades from the second round onwards.

Amittrajjit with his previous experience in both National and International rallies, the XUV being the most winning rally car in the INRC since its entry, he will be looking for his third INRC title this year and certainly can challenge for the title with such a package.
