New Delhi, Feb 2 (PTI) About 250 rallyists from across the country will be seen in action at the eighth edition of the Maruti Suzuki Desert Storm Rally starting February 14 from here. The Rally will cover 2,600 km in six days and pass through tough terrains of Thar Desert, the rocky and uncertain Aravalli, and the slippery sands of the Rann of Kutch. Organised jointly by Maruti Suzuki and Northern Motorsports, the rally will culminate at Udaipur in Rajasthan on February 19.
The route will take the 250 rallyists through competitive and transport sections. The competitive section includes tough, off-road terrain that has gravel, sand and rocks, while the transport section is run on normal inter-city state highways. On the first leg itself, the rallysists will be greeted by the prospect of driving some 70 kms through the night on boulder strewn roads across the Aravallis, crossing semi-dry river beds. Compared to the last edition of the Maruti Suzuki Desert Storm where rallyists have had to drive 20-30 kms of tough terrain at each leg, this time the route promises to be even tougher.
