8 July 2013 5:27 AM IST
Bhopal rider Muzaffar Ali laid low quite a few fancied rivals, including defending champion Rustom Patel, to become the new winner of the Gulf Monsoon scooter rally held in the backwoods of Navi Mumbai on Sunday.
Having placed second last year, the 32-year-old rider atop a Suzuki Access went one better, leaving not only Patel, but also former champions Manjeet Singh Bassan, Avtar Singh and Shamim Khan in the shade to win the gruelling 25-km race. Nashik’s Shamim Khan (Mahindra Rodeo), who was champion in 2003 and 2004, finished second with 0:29.02 seconds in penalties and Bangalore’s R Natraj (TVS Wego), of TVS Racing, was third with 0:29.08 seconds.
