RECORD RUN!

After the stunning anniversary issue, we decided to take a break. So thank you for the wishes and the innumerable messages acknowledging how hard we’ve worked. Since we were on a break, this issue ends here, see you next

month... Just kidding! The October issue is packed to the gills and brimming with new vehicles - we are getting ready for Diwali, India’s biggest season for purchases, vehicular as well as otherwise.

Leading from the front is our first taste of the stylish Hyundai Kona, which India will receive in CKD-built electric form in the second half of 2019. Also brand new, and very impressive, is the Mahindra Marazzo which blends restrained styling with intelligent packaging and good pricing. The issue also has the new Lexus LS 300h, the new Honda CR-V and more.

And then we went out and had ourselves some fun. The Audi RS6 Avant Performance is nuts. So fast that it even has the word performance in its name. But the big story for the issue is that we took the Mercedes-Benz C-Class to the racetrack for a 24-hour endurance run. What a huge, fun event, and you cannot even begin to imagine the commitment, effort and engineering that goes into something like this, both for Team OVERDRIVE and for all the engineers whose contributions to the car, the tyres, the lubricants and so forth, make this gruelling challenge possible.

I also got very lucky and drove the new Porsche 911 GT2 RS. You’d think 700PS would be enough to blow an enthusiast away, but what I remember most fondly is the intimate feel of the car, more than the insane acceleration. Two Ducatis lead the two-wheelers this issue. We got to taste the luxurious new Ducati Scrambler 1100 as well as the beast that is the new Multistrada 1260S.

All that, plus India’s best motorsport coverage and so many more stories that you’ll discover within the issue. It’s true, it wasn’t much of a break for us - and we’re not complaining either.

I encourage you to take a break from the rat race, enjoy the issue and maybe plan an automotive weekend out as a goodbye to the rains and a hello to the delicious winter that is now around the corner.

First of all, may congratulations to your team on your 20th

anniversary. Two decades is a long time and I’ve seen OVERDRIVE grow to become a top-notch automobile magazine. The SUV test in the 20th anniversary was out of this world. To get so many SUVs together and drive them on an APRC stage is something I as a reader would’ve never imagined. I guess pulling out all stops and making stories like these possible is something only Team OD can manage. The Turning 20 feature was another good read. It sure is good time to ride and the advent of performance oriented motorcycles is a welcome change. 20PS may not be a lot for some, but I think these bikes have enough power to satisfy the need for

speed, without getting youth like me into serious trouble. The motorsport articles were superb and I absolutely loved Vaishali’s Formula 1 feature. You guys are so lucky. I don’t think a lot of people get a chance to do what they really enjoy, but you guys are living The Life! Once again, a very happy birthday. The party was great.

Satish Tripathi

Thank you so much for those kind words and we are extremely happy that you enjoyed reading the 20th anniversary issue. We had a blast putting the issue together and the reward for our hard work is the appreciation that you, the reader, shower upon us.

Rather than a larger #MarutiSuzuki #Ertiga, the

#Mahindra #Marazzo should be seen as a smaller #Tata #Hexa. It’s been priced between the two, which makes sense since the features offered in the #Marazzo are a few generations ahead of what the #Ertiga offers, but the power figures are lower than that of the #Hexa. I think #Mahindra has done a great job at making the #Marazzo not feel small from the inside either. Use of lighter shades inside, coupled with the large glasses and carved out front seats, all point to the fact that the #Marazzo is way spacious than the #Ertiga, and boasts of features which the #Ertiga can’t offer, not until a few facelifts arrive. It’s a great package at a great price. Let’s just hope that the electronics are durable, as modern Mahindras have a reputation for being ill frequently with electronic issues.

Samar Vijay Singh Rawat

The Honda #CRV may be a big hit this time, unless they

mess up on price front. Engine downsizing seems to be the new trend. First the #Mahindra #Marazzo and now #CRV. If it helps with fuel efficiency, then it’s welcome. These days, I am seeing even those earning `5

lakh as monthly income, seem worried about fuel efficiency, thanks to our Government’s penchant for taking fuel prices to outer space. And also, increased congestion and new anti-speeding laws being put in place everywhere, there is no sense in buying a high-speed car. In any case, SUVs are not meant for speed. Sedans and sports car are for speed. Even the #Ford #Endeavour and #Toyota #Fortuner can be beaten in a drag race by a good sedan. So, all in all, I think #CRV makes a good buy, especially diesel.

Ravikant Reddy

#Nissan should add more features in the #Kicks. Safety

features also should match the #Hyundai #Creta. The only reason why the #Creta is successful is because it has lots of features and a powerful engine.

Dheeraj Vashisht

What is the point of #SpeedGoverners? Already there

are some speed governors on the road itself. Potholes, stairs like speed breakers, uneven flyovers and bridge section connectors, Toll booth (for not maintaining the road) etc.

ALL CARS AND CVS TO HAVE DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS FROM 2022: NITIN GADKARI

Minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari has announced that all cars and commercial

vehicles sold in the country will mandatorily have driver assistance systems from 2022. He made this and other announcements at the 58th Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) Annual Convention 2018.

“July 2019 onwards, all cars

will have airbag reminders, seatbelt reminders and rear parking sensors. All cars and commercial vehicles to get driver assistance systems from 2022,” he states. It was at this event that Gadkari mentioned that the government is working to make driver assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, brake assist and lane keep assist mandatory features in passenger and commercial vehicles by 2022.

He also added that from July 2019, all cars will have airbags, seatbelts,

reverse sensors, speed reminders and other safety features. “Transition towards a mobility that is shared, connected and zero emission will happen together. The government, industry and relevant stakeholders need to work in sync to achieve this,” said Dr Rajiv Kumar, vice chairman, NITI Aayog at the event.

Gadkari also announced that a flat GST rate of 12 per cent will be applied on EVs and no additional subsidies are required for the same.

Features including adaptive cruise control, brake assist and lane-keep assist will become mandatory



COMMERCIAL VEHICLES powered by ethanol, CNG, and electric ones will be exempt from permit requirements, announced minister Nitin Gadkari

JK TYRE SETS UP NEW CONSOLIDATED R&D CENTRE IN MYSORE

JK Tyre has inaugurated its new consolidated research and development centre in Mysore, Karnataka. The company’s earlier R&D activities were scattered

across four centres in India, but this new facility consolidates all of this in one place. Around 180 personnel are employed here and it has been set up to improve synchronisation and cross functions among the company’s various research arms.

The Raghupati Singhania Centre of Excellence (RPSCOE), as the centre is called, is a part of the Harishankar Singhania Elastomer and Tyre Research Institute (HASETRI) and has been set up to optimise product performance and product design cycle time through simulation and predictive techniques. JK Tyre has invested over `100 crore in the development of the centre.

Research at RPSCOE is focussed on multiple aspects of tyre technology, including developing advanced laboratory predictors for tyre performance and providing key inputs for life prediction of rubber products. Of the many areas of research undertaken

at the centre, the more notable ones include material and compound development, future technology development, computational mechanics and tyre characterisation.

The centre also prides itself on being

one of the most advanced of its kind in the country in terms of equipment. It is the first in the country to have a semi-anechoic chamber which uses specialised software for noise vibration and harshness data analysis.

Petrol and diesel prices hiked, reach all-time high

Fuel prices in India have gone up, and not just incrementally. They have reached an all-time high. The latest price of non-branded

petrol after the hike is `79.99 per litre in Delhi and the same for diesel is `72.07 per litre. This makes the latest fuel prices to be the highest ever recorded in the country.

On September 7, oil marketing companies increased the prices of petrol

by 48 paise and that of diesel by 52 paise per litre in Delhi. Petrol price has gone up by `3.68 per litre while that of diesel is up by `4.25 per litre since August 1, 2018. Post the hike, petrol is priced at `86.9 per litre in Mumbai while diesel is available at `76 per litre. The spike in rates has been attributed to the Rupee’s exchange rate falling to a record `71 to a dollar, depreciating by `2.5 in a month. Also, crude oil prices have gained $7 a barrel in a fortnight.

The tyre maker has invested `100 crore in the development of the centre

MERCEDES-BENZ UNVEILS ITS FIRST ALL-ELECTRIC CAR, THE EQC SUV

The Mercedes-Benz EQC electric SUV, the first model from the company’s all-electric EQ sub-brand has finally been unveiled.

The EQC looks similar to the GLC in profile, with which it shares its underpinnings.. The front and rear fascias are completely new but still relatable to the standard Mercedes range, while establishing the EQC as its own thing. The front gets an EQ-specific grille with illuminated Mercedes badging, an LED strip connects the new headlights. This design element is carried over to the slim tail lamps as well, in what could become an EQ-brand signature. A more aggressive AMG-line design package is also available.

The interior follows a sleeker and futuristic adaption of current Mercedes design cues. The MBUX infotainment system with two 10.3-inch screens dominates with its many AI and voice enabled features. The AC-vents and rose-gold cabin accents are other unique touches. The EQC is powered by two electric motors mounted on each axle giving it all-wheel drive capabilities. This setup puts out 407PS and 765Nm. The

two motors are not identical, the one in front is tuned towards efficiency while the latter helps in spirited driving. Power comes from an 80kWh battery.

This launch variant, the EQC 400, will get from 0 to 100kmph in 5.1s and onto a top speed of 180kmph. Mercedes claims a range of 320km for the EQC,

which is some way short of rivals like the Jaguar I-Pace and the Tesla Model X both of which can go up to 380km on a full charge.

There is no news yet on pricing but it should be on par with the Jaguar I-Pace. The EQC is expected to launch in the latter part of 2019 globally.

Skoda Vision RS compact car sketches reveal design before 2018 Paris Motor Show debut

Skoda Auto is gearing up to showcase the future of its compact car line with a teaser of the upcoming Skoda Vision

RS concept. The Vision RS will form the basis of the design for its future compact car line-up. Not only this, the new model will also carry forth the torch of its RS motorsport family. The

Skoda Vision RS concept will make its debut at the 2018 Paris Motor Show in October. Skoda Auto has released design sketches to tease this future car. A version of this car may even be made in the country under the India 2.0 plan. The RS range in recent times has been represented by the Skoda Fabia R5 WRC 2 rally car.

The EQC will be Mercedes’ first shot at the fully electric car market



ALL-ELECTRIC VOLVO 360C autonomous concept unveiled, expected to have a driving range of 300km

2022 AUDI R8 TO BE ALL-ELECTRIC SUPERCAR

There have been rumours that the Audi R8’s current mid-engined V10 layout is becoming unviable for the company and that it was

looking to discontinue the car after this generation, given the shifts in the current automotive landscape.

But, by showcasing of the Audi PB18 E-Tron concept at the 2018 Monterey Car Week there’s a glimmer of hope for the flagship supercar. The PB18’s all-electric drivetrain seems like an ideal fit for a flagship supercar. If this were to be true, we can expect the next generation R8 to make its debut in four to five years and feature a power figure around the 764PS mark. It will most likely also carry the PB18’s three-motor set-up. That is two electric motors on the rear axle and one on the front fed by a mid-mounted 95kWh battery pack. The car should be able to do 500km on a single charge and get from 0 to 100kmph in a hypercar-beating 2.0s.

Toyota-Suzuki alliance to roll out four electrified models by 2021

The Toyota-Suzuki alliance will come up with four electrified models by 2021 which will be sold by both companies.

The first of these will be an electric version of the Wagon R that is being developed in-house by Maruti Suzuki. This model will also likely be shared with Toyota for the Indian market and will come with a 10 to 25kWh power output. Around 50 prototypes have been built on an experimental production line

at the Maruti Suzuki plant in Gurgaon.A number of hybrids with 12 to

72-volt architectures are also being considered. These will be based on the Baleno, Brezza and the Corolla. These hybrid versions will improve efficiency by 5 per cent to 45 per cent. Further, to prepare for the more stringent average fuel economy regulations which take effect in 2023, the two companies will come up with more advanced 48 to 72-volt battery systems for the Baleno and Vitara Brezza.

The car could have a range of 500km on a single charge

BAJAJ AUTO TO OPEN SALES, MARKETING AND DESIGN OFFICE IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

Bajaj Auto is planning to go aggressive on exports and is looking at setting up bases outside India to cater to its international audiences. The first step, it

says, is to set up a marketing and sales office in Bangkok to address that region. Bajaj says that Thailand is the centre of gravity for new two-wheelers and in order to gauge the pulse of the market, it’s imperative to have design and R&D personnel there.

This is also believed to reduce the brand’s dependence on the extremely competitive domestic market where it’s facing stiff competition from Honda, Hero and TVS. One of the other reasons for Bajaj Auto initiating this move is said to be the lower taxation that are applied in these markets, which would help Bajaj Auto to price its products competitively against the local players as opposed to directly exporting from India.

Bajaj Auto has also tied up with Motosikal Dan Enjin Nasional (Modena) earlier this year. With this partnership, Bajaj Auto plans to make Malaysia a base

to tackle its neighbouring markets. For the records, the domestic two-wheeler sales dropped by 1.34 per cent last year.

The exports however grew by 14 per cent that accounted for 41 per cent of the total two-wheeler production.

BMW MOTORRAD SHOWS OFF SELF-RIDING MOTORCYCLE CONCEPT

BMW Motorrad has created a prototype motorcycle, a R 1200 GS that can drive itself without falling over, and lean through

the corners. Impressively, the side-stand on the bike also gets deployed automatically as the motorcycle comes to a halt. The concept was showcased at the BMW Group testing ground in Miramas, southern France. The

motorcycle is the result of two years of development and hundreds of hours of testing, says BMW. However, BMW also says the vehicle is not intended to pave the way for fully autonomous motorcycles. Instead, the bike is part of BMW’s development of advanced rider-assistance systems, similar to those used by today’s cars, where the driver is aided by the vehicle.

HONDA, YAMAHA, SUZUKI, TVS & BAJAJ AUTO are organising free service camps for flood affected motorcycles in Kerala. All are offering exchange benefits, discounts on labour costs and oil replacement charges

ONE-OFF ROYAL ENFIELD CONTINENTAL GT 650 REACHES 241KMPH AT THE BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS

T he Royal Enfield 650 twins, Interceptor and the Continental GT will be launched in India before the end of this year, with

bookings to open in November. While there is still some time before you get to see these motorcycles, a one-off highly modified Continental GT 650 has clocked a maximum speed of 241kmph on the famous Bonneville Salt Flats. The customised Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is based on the drag-ready LockStock Dragster 650 was unveiled at the Bike Shed Motorcycle Club in London. The performance-spec includes Ohlins suspension, nitrous oxide, a tweaked suspension setup and special tyres. Royal Enfield hasn’t disclosed the specifications of this Continental GT650 that is speculated to make 100PS of power. FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme) is yet to certify the motorcycle. Riding this version of the GT 650 is 18-year-old Cayla Rivas. The youngster already has 12 speed records under her name.

TVS APACHE SERIES CROSSES THREE MILLION SALES MARK

T he TVS Apache series achieved a new milestone, crossing the three million sales figure since it made its debut in

2005. The Apache series began life as a 160cc motorcycle and has recently expanded to encompass the TVS Apache RR 310, with an engine of almost twice the capacity as the original Apache. Its

offerings in this series include the RTR 160, RTR 180, RTR 200 4V Race Edition 2.0, and the recently launched RTR 160 4V. The Apache series is also a product of the TVS Racing arm’s 36-year history in motorsports.

required only to check random samples and conduct surprise checks on the manufacturers’ internal test lab.

Now the flip has switched. And it stinks.

The good part is that Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said that the IS 4151 would be moved to the ‘mandatory schedule’. This means that from January 2019, as I understand it, ISI-marked helmets have to undergo mandatory tests - and we will return to this at the end again.

In the same PTI report, there was the mention of a weight reduction coming.

The basis was a committee report that said that since penetrative injuries were statistically low in Indian accidents, our standard could bear the lowering of the compliance requirement leading to a weight saving. I haven’t been able to locate this report.

But here’s the thing. The Government has quietly amended the IS 4151 and made all of these changes. An anonymous source sent us a copy and you should be scared of the compliant helmets that will arrive next year.

First, the 1,200g weight rule has been deployed. This means that almost every helmet except for the bullshit helmets you get for peanuts will no longer be able to meet the Indian standard. No basis for this rule has been offered. There is also no international standard that quotes 1,200g as the maximum permissible weight that I can find. In fact, the only helmets that will meet this weight standard today, I would guess, are the cheap ISI-marked (or fake/non-compliant) helmets on sale currently. This is shockingly illogical and as far as I can see, an unscientific race to the bottom.

Well, they’ve won. And we all have lost.Second, the process by which the

Indian helmet manufacturers will meet the new weight requirement comes as a shock to me. Because the Government has seen fit to permit a worse helmet to be compliant. The standard has been lowered. I can already see the argument — better for more people to be wearing worse helmets than for most people to not wear any.

So what does the new standard say? We spoke to an industry source who’s had more time than us to read old and new standards and figure out what’s changed.

What he told us rocked us back on our heels. According to him, a compliant helmet can now transmit more force

to the head than before. Earlier 275g was the maximum force passed on to the head. Now 400g is all right. They also now permissible time slices for exposure to sub-400g but still high force figures. Which means now the helmet will be certified even though it absorbs significantly less force than before.

There used to be the idea of the Head Injury Criterion, a composite measure of how protective the helmet is as a sum of its parts, to put it simplistically. Eliminated. The drop height for the impact test has been lowered 25 per cent to boot.

I’m appalled. And if the weight clause wasn’t there, this wouldn’t be such a big deal because all the helmets that outperform the old IS 4151 would also be able to outperform the new standard. But that weight clause looks like Donald Trump’s Mexican Wall to prevent world-class products from being sold in India. And this one’s real.

Now we come to the logistics problem. As we discovered in our RTI application responses, Delhi and Parwanoo, HP seem to the only two BIS branch/regional offices with ISI-licence requiring ‘subscribers’. They tested 81 helmets in all the past 12 months.

The new standard goes into effect January 15, 2019 according to the government circular.

Who will test the new helmets for compliance? The details are thin on the ground. The question, “Who will test helmets for compliance?” is unanswered.

At the very least, it’s a huge logistics challenge - the only helmet testing labs today belong to the very manufacturers. Who directly benefit from the light-footed new standard. The BIS appears ill-equipped to serve the compliance needs of the world’s largest two-wheeler market.

There are a few of us who will always be able to source and use helmets that are superior to the new wave of ISI-marked helmets that are coming. We only have the choice of running the gauntlet.

I can only speak for myself. I refuse to wear a worse helmet.

I’ll probably not be hassled a lot because law-making and enforcement in India don’t always see eye to eye. But when the policeman asks why I’m wearing a non-compliant motorcycle helmet, I’ll tell him the truth.

“Sir, I use my head, and intend to for a long time. The guys who wrote the new standard aren’t.”

Last issue, I had said that the IS 4151, the Indian helmet standard was a world-class document. That’s because it was based on the ECE 22.05, widely considered the world’s most comprehensive motorcycle

helmet standard.ECE mandates a compulsory test

- usually conducted at an authorised third-party laboratory. The IS 4151, on the other hand, gave the helmet maker the onus of ensuring compliance. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) was


relieved. He sent out a tweet saying that he wished Moya all the strength in the world to recover soon. He also requested that Moya, in the future, refrain from giving him such scares, particularly just before he was about to set off on an adventure as gruelling as the Dakar. It was an illustration of camaraderie. Of the close bond between driver and co-driver that exists no matter how many years have gone by since they last competed in a rally together.

It’s a warm and sunny Friday afternoon, when I find myself sitting in a bus that’s headed in the direction of Marmaris, to the Service Park of the 2018 Rally Turkey. Someone’s just mentioned Moya, which is why my thoughts first turn to him. But I daresay, I wouldn’t be at a WRC event and not think of either Moya or Sainz. After all, there’s only so long a body can think about rallying without recollecting Moya shouting “Trata de arrancarlo!” over and over again. Spanish for “For God’s sake start it please.” Words that he’d repeated (screamed and shouted is more like it) to Sainz, begging him to start their stricken Toyota Corolla at the 1998 Rally GB. The fact that Sainz couldn’t start the car meant that they lost what would have been their third World Rally Championship title. So close, yet so far, as it so often is in motorsport.

A few years ago, at Rally Poland in 2014, VW had put Moya in charge of herding a flock of journalists, myself included, from one rally stage to the next. And along the way, we had the privilege of picking his brain on the sport of rallying. And I discovered that if Rally Finland is the rally of a 1,000 corners, Luis Moya is the man of a 1,000 words a second. In fact I hold him responsible for the carpal tunnel syndrome that I find myself afflicted with - transcribing that interview with Moya really did me in.

Moya had told me back then that the reason he spoke as fast as he did was because of Sainz, who, he said, liked his pacenotes to be in far greater detail than other drivers did. Sainz has, over the course of his career, been accused of being far too analytical and far too cerebral. Reinhard Klein writes in his book, that beautiful WRC tome that is Rally: “Carlos Sainz’s concentration never slackens. Knowledge is power, so no detail can be ignored.” Which, perhaps, is the reason for those detailed pacenotes that he required. And in order

for Moya to be able to deliver a whole paragraph worth of calls before the next corner, and another paragraph before the corner after that, he needed to speak as fast as Sainz drove. It was a match made in rallying heaven.

There’s another reason that I’ve been thinking about Moya and Sainz recently. Because I’ve been thinking rather a lot about age. A factor that decides so much in motorsport and in life itself. Age is a crucial factor in whether or not someone ought to be in the racing seat or saddle that they’ve managed to acquire. Or whether or not they’re entitled to another racing seat or saddle that they aspire to. Sometimes people are declared too young, sometimes people are declared too old. And when you think about it in numbers, age, as a deciding factor, becomes terribly restrictive. When combined, however, with commitment, discipline, ability, results and potential, things start to make a little more sense.

Well, heading into the 2018 Dakar, some believed Sainz was already past his prime. Someone who could compete in it, certainly, and might even finish the rally too. But win? Unlikely. But of all the parameters that I’ve listed out already, when I think of Carlos Sainz and the 2018 Dakar, it’s his commitment and discipline that stand out. In addition to regular training and aerobics, Sainz underwent some fairly intense high altitude training to help him prepare for the event. He slept in a tent that simulated high altitude conditions for a whole month before the Dakar, and he also went bicycling with a mask over his face that would regulate oxygen supply to give him a feeling similar to when he’d be up in the mountain passes in Bolivia. He went on to win the 2018 Dakar Rally proving to everyone that age really was just a number. He’d put in the work that was required to counteract the effects of aging. And he’d put in every ounce of energy humanly possible to make sure that he was as good, if not better than the rest.

Now, at 56, Sainz is training hard for Dakar 2019, having signed up with the X-Raid Mini team with whom he hopes to defend his title. Twenty years have gone by since Moya yelled at him, asking him to get it started again. Metaphorically it seems like Sainz has been doing exactly that ever since. It’s a little something that, I think, they call spirit.

Just before the then 55-year old Carlos Sainz set off on the 2018 Dakar, he received news that his long-time co-driver and old friend, Luis Moya, had suffered a cerebral aneurysm. Moya posted

a photo of himself lying in the hospital, but looking quite cheerful since he’d just been informed that there’d be no long-term consequences incurred as a result of the aneurysm. He’d signed off his tweet with “Kisses to all” and followed that up with a winking emoji. Try though he did to make sure that his friends and supporters around the world didn’t go into a state of panic, Sainz, naturally was concerned. And subsequently

It might sound a bit odd, but I feel SUVs dominating the sub-20 lakh rupee segments has created a void. Especially buyers looking for a seven-seater people mover, who have barely any options. And the Mahindra Marazzo is a MPV that promises to meet the

demands of these very buyers. In fact, the Marazzo slots itself right in between two of the most popular seven-seater MPVs, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and the Toyota Innova Crysta. Mahindra feels there exists a reasonably large niche there, and that the Marazzo is the perfect fit. Is it? We got a little taste at Mahindra’s own test track near Pune to decide.

DesignSharks can sure teach us a thing or two about being quick, sharp and agile and are also Mahindra’s inspiration for the Marazzo’s design. But, the MPV isn’t just about an intimidating appearances. It is also about the rounded lines one associates with people movers. That said, bits like the fangs on its grille and the shark-fin shaped spokes on the alloys certainly look aggressive.

Headlights are projector beam equipped units while daytime running lamps are LED units positioned into the fog lamps. Sharp character lines on

the doors dominates the sides and look appealing. That said, it is hard to ignore the fact that when viewed from the sides, the top half of the Marazzo reminds us of the previous generation Toyota Innova. The chrome slat joining the tail lamp units at the rear is a little too thick, though the shark tail inspired tail lights look good.

InteriorsThe Marazzo’s interiors offer an upmarket feel thanks to the variety of surface finishes used, as also the clean, contemporary looking cabin layout. Perforated beige leather seats and the beige roof accentuate the feel and also add to the sense of spaciousness. The infotainment system gets a 7.25 inch touchscreen and features navigation, Android Auto connectivity and an eco-driving guide too, which tells you how efficiently you are driving. There’s two USB ports and a 12V socket at the front while rear seat occupants get a common USB port, for charging only. There’s an abundance of cubby holes, including a deep cavity atop the dash, which needs you to reach out to pick something off it thanks to the depth of the dashboard.

The instrument cluster gets a black-purple colour combination and integrates a 4.2 inch multi-information display which also offers turn-by-turn navigation and has an in-built

stopwatch and reminder for birthdays and anniversaries! The driving position is comfortable and offers an excellent view of the road thanks to the large glass area, as also the fact that you sit tall, even at the lowest seat height. I found the inside rear view mirror a little too low though, as it was right in my line of vision every time I had to make a left turn. Throws for the gear lever could have been shorter too. We only drove the seven-seater variant which gets captain seats and arm rests for the second row and the seats are comfortable. At an inch under six feet I am tall, but even with the driver’s seat set to my position, the second row offered good leg and kneeroom, thanks to the 2,760mm wheelbase. You also have the option of sliding the second row seats back and forth, thereby helping improve space.

What’s even more impressive is that the third row is reasonably comfortable, though I would have liked some more under thigh support. That said, spending a couple of hours in the third row shouldn’t be a problem. Third row occupants get individual bottle holders though I would have liked additional USB ports too, considering millennials are most likely to occupy the row. A major highlight inside the Marazzo’s cabin has to be its air-conditioning system. Second and third row occupants get ‘dual’ air-conditioning vents mounted onto the roof – they can choose to have a direct blast or get a diffused blow. A switch lets you choose, and the oscillating drafts of cold air from the vents in diffused mode did help in optimising cooling. The vents also look good and do not intrude into headroom either.

Engine and performanceThe Mahindra Marazzo is powered by an all-new, 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine producing 122PS and 300Nm of torque which is mated to a new six-speed manual gearbox. The engine feels refined and also doesn’t have the typical diesel clatter at idle. Clutch action is light while shifts from the gearbox are reassuring, sans the rubbery feel we’ve seen on older Mahindra transmissions. Importantly, the engine produces peak torque at 1,750rpm, but offers upwards of 170Nm from just 1,000rpm, ensuring brisk in-gear acceleration at slow speeds. We also tried taking off from standstill by simply releasing the clutch without any throttle and the Marazzo rolled forward without any resistance or judder. This should help in traffic and also reduce the load on


The 7.25 inch infotainment display boasts a crisp resolution which makes it pleasing to look at and also offers haptic feedback. Despite the driver’s seat for a near six footer, kneeroom in the second row is impressive. Space and comfort in the third row are decent, though under thigh support could be better


the driver’s left leg. We were also informed that a

lot of emphasis was paid to making engine components lighter, thanks to which the engine is quick to rev and relatively vibration free. The tachometer needle was at 2,000rpm at a speedometer indicated 100kmph which is optimal in terms of fuel efficiency and performance and sustaining the speed for extended periods should be comfortable. Performance tapers off at about 140kmph, which to be honest is a lot itself for an MPV. On the whole the Marazzo’s engine is by far one of the best oil burners from Mahindra yet, while a petrol engine and automatic gearbox are expected to join the line-up in the future.

Ride and handlingThe Marazzo uses a body on frame chassis with a front wheel drive setup and a transversely mounted engine which we’re told is a first-of-its-kind combination in the world. Mahindra claims the setup has its own advantages and is close to a monocoque chassis in terms of both comfort and handling. Double wishbone suspension has been employed upfront, along with a twist

beam setup at the rear. The Marazzo also uses isolators between the wheels-suspension, and the frame-suspension to offer a good ride. Unsprung weight has been kept low by lightening the suspension arms, to help in improving dynamics.

All this engineering translates to a stable feel and impressive comfort levels, and taking a power nap in the second row while being driven at 100kmph is possible. There’s barely any lateral movement but come around a corner and expectedly, there is a fair amount of body roll thanks to the soft suspension setup. The roll is more pronounced in the rear seats though things never go out of control and the Marazzo feels perfectly stable even when chucked hard into fast bends.

The steering feels light at standstill and feels perfectly weighted on the go and also offers good feedback despite the Marazzo’s size and weight, adding to confidence. The Marazzo comes equipped with disc brakes all round as standard and braking is impressive – the Marazzo behaved well even when braking from 100kmph. Neither did it step out of its line nor did it pitch forward too much,

though brake pedal travel could have been lesser.

First impressionsThe Marazzo impresses on several fronts. The design is appealing while interiors boast an upmarket feel while build quality and fit-finish levels are good, though the latter could be half a notch better. More importantly, the Marazzo comes equipped with a host of features and equipment, while seating all round is comfortable and spacious. It gets dual airbags, disc brakes all round and ISOFIX points all as standard, which also speaks a lot about the focus on safety.

Pricing is introductory, with the base M2 variant priced at `9.99 lakh ex-showroom, while the fully-loaded M8 variant retails at `13.90 lakh. Its pricing slots the Marazzo just above the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga while undercutting the bigger, more powerful and spacious Toyota Innova Crsyta by a significant margin. The Xylo did well in its time, but the MPV segment has moved on since, with buyers wanting more style, space and comfort along with higher equipment levels. And the Mahindra Marazzo certainly ticks all those boxes.

Starting late next year, Hyundai Motor India Limited will start selling the purely electric-powered Hyundai Kona in our country that will have you looking at power charging points

differently. While earlier reports have suggested that Hyundai would make its foray into electric-powered vehicles for India with the Ioniq, it is now confirmed that the Hyundai Kona is their preferred choice, because their surveys revealed that an SUV platform would be more appropriate than a sedan for the increasingly choosy Indian consumer.

While the Hyundai Kona is available in some parts of the world with diesel and petrol powered conventional internal combustion engines, it will come to India exclusively as the Kona Electric and we are told it is capable of going over 350km on a single charge. Hyundai is keen to showcase their battery-powered prowess and is hopeful that the Indian government will also give some tax breaks or lower the duty or GST, to encourage the entry of fully electrically driven vehicles like the Kona. But as of now, we can expect a price in the range of Rs 25 lakh and as Hyundai initially plans on bringing just 1,000 Konas here, their exclusivity and drawing power is assured.

StylingFor long we have seen manufacturers opting for designs and styling that makes their electric vehicles look different. Quite honestly, most attempts are over the top and as a result, we also have manufacturers who have been treading on the side of caution and favouring more conventional designs, saying electric vehicles don’t necessarily have to look different.

Hyundai has taken a refreshing approach to this, resulting in the cool and swanky looking Kona. While it retains some traditional Hyundai styling characteristics like the centre front grille that make it easy to identify, there is a whole lot of recentness and a dare-to-lead attitude to the design. Contributing in a big way to the avant-garde design are the grilles and lights. In fact, the front has all of three different grilles and three sets of lights. On the top exactly alongside the bonnet opening, are the thin and elongated LED DRLs


Premium and sporty in here, courtesy quality materials

and exterior colour-matched highlights. Floating

infotainment screen makes for a lower dash


with indicator flashers that impart the impression of being shaped like eyebrows. In between them is a long and slim grille. Below this is a large grille flanked by a cluster housing the main and low headlight beams. These headlights are placed almost in the middle of the bumper, which is an unusually low height for headlights, more akin to what you expect on a sports car and not an SUV. Finally, right at the bottom you have the third grille and this one has the twin, smartly shaped fog lights at both ends. With so many different sets of lights, you normally expect them to break the flow in the design, but here the designers have actually succeeded in using them so cohesively, that they have become style bonding ingredients.

The ‘Lightmen’ who obviously played such an important part in the design of the Hyundai Kona, have gone even further and placed what looks like another light (essentially just a white reflector) in the cladding that connects the front bumper to the prominent wheel-arches. These reflectors are located in a scoop on the side of the bumpers providing the effect of being an extension of the headlights. It’s such smart detailing in the design that exhibits the designer’s innovative demeanour. Further emphasis comes from the air slot in the front bumper cladding that looks like an air vent, but in reality is just a pathway for air and light.

The long bonnet has a prominently

raised bulge trying to convey that the Kona is a powerful machine. This is further enhanced by the notably flared fenders and the strong feature lines linking them. The ‘Lightmen’ have also used the rear as their playing field that has two sets of lights. On the top are the brake and parking lights that are stretched to complement the DRLs in the front, and just above the bumper is a panel accommodating the indicator and reverse lights, which are enclosed by red reflectors.

The entire design of the Hyundai Kona is eye-catching and this sub-compact size SUV is sure to draw a lot of attention when it hits our roads.

InteriorsThe passenger compartment is not as trendy as the exterior, but still has some unique styling elements like the seatbelts and trim around the A/C vents, gear-shifter etc that are in body colour to make a connection with the outside. The seats also have smart contrast stitching in the body shade.

But space is certainly not one of the strengths of the Hyundai Kona, with the cabin being more hatchback than SUV. In comparison, the Hyundai Tuscon or even Creta are far more spacious, especially the back seat. Ingress and egress is very good due to the wide opening doors and high H-point, but taller passengers will feel cramped at the rear. The front seats are far more

comfortable, but both the console and door armrests do squeeze you in a bit.

The Kona, as is to be expected from Hyundai, comes packed with features, and also has a flip-up panel type heads-up display. But taller drivers do have to bend their heads a little to read it. The main instruments are very simple and legible showing that, here the designers have put function before form. The central tablet kind of an infotainment touchscreen is large and readable, and sits just below the windscreen height to not obstruct outside vision. Other features include, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, USB port, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto smartphone integration, premium audio system, sunroof, power-adjustable driver’s seat, automatic wipers, a wireless charging pad, etc. Of course it also comes packed with multiple safety features like airbags, ABS, and so on, and it remains to be seen what all Hyundai offers here, but going by their past record, one can safely state that the Kona will be brimming with features.

Engine & transmissionAs mentioned, the Kona comes with both, diesel and petrol engines, but in India, we will only be getting the battery electric powered version that Hyundai claims has adequate performance and a range of over 350km. The petrol-powered version we drove in Turkey, was peppy and energetic and the 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch) automatic gearbox


also shifts in a pleasing manner. But more on this when we get behind the wheel of the Kona Electric.

Driving impressionThe Hyundai Kona has pleasing road manners and handles more like a sporty hatch than an SUV. It’s light and nimble and changes direction enthusiastically with appreciable cornering grip. But the fine handling is fortunately not at the cost of ride comfort. Hyundai engineers have managed to reach a good balance between ride and handling, and the Kona nicely suppresses road irregularities and soaks up bumps and isolates the cabin from most imperfections.

The Kona has both FWD and AWD versions with the front-wheel drive having torsion beam suspension at the rear and the all-wheel, a multi-link

set-up. We are not sure what the Kona Electric will come with, but the ride quality and handling should remain fine.

The braking inspires confidence with the pedal offering effortless modulation of braking pressure. The steering is light at low speeds and firms up as momentum increases, but it’s not as communicative as desired and the feel, especially in Sports mode, is a little too artificial and appears almost like the engineers have tried too hard to make it appear sporty. Nevertheless, it’s precise and accurate and most drivers should not find anything wrong with it.

Some moreThe boot space is good for those upgrading from a hatch, but don’t expect to pack in the bags like you would in a proper SUV, because the Kona is

essentially a crossover.

Initial thoughtsA proper plug-in electric vehicle from Hyundai will certainly create waves and draw attention, especially when it’s something as nice looking as the Kona, which stands out in any crowd. Personally, I like the looks and was pleasantly surprised how much fun it is, to drive. The approximately Rs 25 lakh sticker price is surely on the higher side, but with just 1,000 odd on offer initially for India, we see them flying off the showroom floors. The new technology, funky looks, and fun to drive factor, makes the Hyundai Kona, actually quite irresistible, particularly for those who use their vehicles more for leisure and to make a style statement. In that sense, the Hyundai Kona is a real ‘style-guru’.

LEXUS ES 300hCan Mahindra’s all-new people mover create a new niche?

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Lexus has added a new dimension to the Indian luxury car market. Prior to the Japanese manufacturer coming to India, the luxury car space was the select reserve of European manufacturers,

and that’s besides the fact that Japanese luxury cars were unheard of in the country. What’s more, Lexus is the only brand to offer hybrid luxury cars in the country, which makes them a unique proposition. And the introduction of the new generation ES 300h sedan is a move from Lexus that could ruffle a few European feathers in the midsize luxury sedan segment. Can it? A few hours behind the wheel helped us figure out.

But before I get to the driving bit or the car’s hybrid technology, I have to tell you about its design. It looks stunning in pictures and even more stunning in the flesh. And the deep blue hue of our test car made it look all the more alluring. The piece de resistance is the massive spindle grille, borrowed from the bigger LS 500h. It looks very distinctive and Lexus tells us the final design of the grille was achieved by some really meticulous calculations, which helped them position the indent exactly where it is for an elegant effect. In my books, the grille alone makes the ES 300h look a lot more expensive than its sticker price.

The slim triple projector headlights and sharp LED daytime running lamps add to the distinctiveness of the front end. The stance from the sides is lower now, which in conjunction with the sloping roofline makes for a coupe like appearance from the sides, further accentuating the sharp crease at the end of the window line. The alloys get what Lexus calls a hyper chrome finish and their design also adds to the car’s classy appearance. The rear looks sharp, but somehow it isn’t as classy-looking as the front and sides.

The interiors reek of the plush feel you expect of a midsize luxury sedan and the dark brown leather used instead of black, makes it looks all the more luxurious. The interiors have been revised to make all controls more driver centric, which in turn has also helped in liberating additional space for the front passenger. The infotainment screen is a massive, 12.3 inch unit and takes centre stage at the top of the dashboard but is not a touchscreen unit. It is flanked by an analogue clock on the right, again, a trademark feature in luxury sedans.


The screen is controlled via a touchpad with haptic feedback positioned next to the drive selector lever. Getting used to controlling the screen via the touchpad takes time, but once you get used to it, using the screen on the go is a breeze. Lexus has equipped the ES 300h with a high end, 17-speaker equipped Mark Levinson audio system which offers a crisp audio quality. That said, it is surprising that Lexus is not offering Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connectivity, though MiraCast allows you to cast your phone’s screen onto the infotainment display wirelessly. The steering wheel is compact, feels sporty to hold and also gets a set of paddle shifters. The instrument cluster is a crisp digital display, and its interface changes according to the driving mode chosen.

The ES 300h also gets a detailed head-up display, which can be adjusted for positioning and is a nice feature to have. The cabin overall and the dashboard in particular boast a rich feel, but the air-conditioning switches under the infotainment screen look plasticky.

Expectedly, there’s a greater focus on rear seat comfort. The ES 300h offers generous amounts of legroom at the rear, as it is based on Lexus’s new global architecture platform which has increased the car’s wheelbase. The front passenger seat comes equipped with an additional set of controls that allow either the driver or rear seat occupants to adjust the seatback or move the front passenger seat to liberate additional legroom. The rear seats can also be reclined electrically by eight degrees which may not sound like a lot, but it does make the rear seat

more comfortable. Controls for the seat are placed on the central arm rest. The rear seats are only heated unlike the front seats which also get ventilation, which is odd.

Lexus has moved the batteries from the boot to under the seat this time, which has helped in improving boot space to 454 litres. The lower placement of the batteries has also helped improve the car’s dynamics, something which has been focussed on extensively this time around. The ES 300h is also the only car in its segment to feature a full-sized spare wheel and despite the spare wheel being placed in the boot, luggage space is impressive. The boot also gets a remote opening function with a little kick and interestingly, a second kick when the boot opens up will also shut it for you. Neat!


The ES 300h is powered by a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor. Output for the engine is 178PS – up from 160PS earlier – and 221Nm. The electric motor is lighter than before but its output is down by 23PS as compared to the older ES and stands at 120PS. Combined output for the hybrid powertrain is 215PS, which is impressive. More importantly, despite that output, claimed fuel efficiency is 22.37kmpl, a 25 per cent improvement! Press the start button and you are greeted by nothing but silence and the

sounds of the electric motor setting up to let you move forward once you engage drive. The ES 300h can take off in EV mode alone, provided the batteries have enough juice, if not, the engine comes on to send power to the front wheels.

You can also monitor the powertrain’s work via graphic displays on the instrument cluster and the infotainment screen, both, which tell you whether it’s just the engine powering the wheels or the motor or both, as also whether or not the battery pack is being charged. Lexus has also

The fully-digital instrument cluster can be configured to show various functions including the energy consumption from the engine and motor. The display also changes according to the driving mode chosen.

Modes can be changed via the rotary knob next to the steering wheel


worked on improving quietness inside the cabin further – the ES 300h has always been regarded as one of the quietest cars in the segment and the new one is even better. There’s a sense of calm inside even at highway speeds, which is sure to impress the chauffeur-driven lot of buyers. The ES in fact is more likely to be bought by buyers wanting to enjoy the comfort and luxury of the rear seat rather than those looking for a seat of the pants driving experience. It isn’t exactly a driver’s car thus, and while it feels quick and eager to get to speeds, acceleration is always extremely smooth and linear. The eCVT does its job well and makes for smooth

progress as well, though the typical rubber band effect of CVTs does make its presence felt.

The ES runs on 18 inch wheels and there is a sense of firmness to the car when going fast over undulated surfaces or expansion joints, but the suspension does a good job of ensconcing occupants in comfort. That’s thanks to the new multi-link suspension at the rear as also the new chassis. Additional sound deadening material used throughout the cabin, including most of the floor pan will make sure you can enjoy the crisp audio quality from the Mark Levinson system well, while the likeable ride quality and plush feel will ensure you do

not feel tired even if you spend extended hours in the car.

The Lexus ES 300h makes a strong case for itself then, if in the market for a midsize luxury sedan that stands out from the crowd and also helps you make a statement with its hybrid powertrain. The stylish exteriors and luxurious interiors in fact help the car distinguish itself well from its German rivals like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series as also the Jaguar XF. And at Rs 59.13 lakh ex-showroom, the car is priced well too. The ES in the car’s name stands for ‘elegant sedan’ and I can confirm that in its newest avatar, the car has only gotten more elegant.

The spindle grille makes the ES 300h stand out almost anywhere. Triple projector

headlamps and the sharply styled LED DRLs add to the car’s distinctive styling. The

lip spoiler adds a dash of sportiness to the rear

T he first CR-V to go on sale in India (second generation globally) was a revelation – an SUV which drove like a car – in 2001, no less. Now, we

have the all-new fifth generation CR-V and it promises that, with the ability to seat up to seven people. The 5+2 seating option will only be offered with the new 1.6-litre diesel engine, as will all-wheel drive and the new nine-speed automatic. The diesel will also come in a 2WD variant, while the 2-litre petrol carries over, only as a 2WD model and with a six speed CVT transmission.

DesignOne of the main goals of the team responsible for developing the new CR-V, was to improve the dynamics over the old one. Looking at it, you’d certainly think that to be true. It’s grown in dimensions, and wheelbase, but it has a more hard-edged look to it now. That’s probably

down to the much stronger-looking fenders and creased wheel arches with 18-inch wheels under them. The LED headlights at the front are especially striking, and at certain angles it looks much closer to a full-fledged SUV than its crossover roots would suggest.

Interiors Sophistication. That’s what the cabin reeks of, the moment you step in. It’s large, airy and uses a mix of mostly soft and tactile surfaces. There’s a new 7-inch (surprisingly low-resolution) touchscreen infotainment with the usual standards of Apple/Android connectivity, but no bundled navigation. There’s a new display for the instruments too, and it’s clear with large fonts. Apart from offering telltale information, it’s also got a driver attention monitor system to warn you if you’re drowsy. We weren’t, so we can’t tell you if it works! The blind spot assist system, LaneWatch, we can vouch for. The system uses a camera in the left wing mirror to

provide an 80 deg view of the left.The view from the roomy driver’s

seat is pretty good on its own. But you probably want to know about the second and third row – the former boasting of great legroom, which can be adjusted along with recline. Kids will probably be the only ones without complaint in the third row. The petrol five-seater boasts 522l of cargo space, or 1,084l with the seats down. The diesel seven-seater stands at 150l, 472l or 936l of cargo space with the third row up, third row down and second row folded, respectively.

Engine and performance The big news is the new DOHC 1,597cc diesel engine, and that’s because it produces 120PS at 4,000rpm and 300Nm of torque at 2,000rpm. The latter figure is acceptable, while the former raises eyebrows. Though with fuel efficiency rated at 19.5/18.3kmpl (2WD/AWD), we can see why the compromise was made.


What you need to know is that the CR-V (with AWD) performs far beyond what those undeniably low figures suggest. That’s mostly down to the new nine-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. It’s ultra smooth, and does a great job of pre-empting shifts by itself. And with nine ratios (!) to choose from, it rarely goes wrong! Refinement and, subsequently, NVH is far, far ahead of the Honda diesels we’ve experienced so far. Though peak torque arrives at 2,000rpm, it never makes you await its arrival. At a steady 100kmph, the car selects seventh and has the engine ticking over at 1,900rpm. Though, it remains to be seen how well this relatively small engine copes with a full load of passengers.

Ride and handling Where the CR-V shines, is in its ride quality, which hasn’t been compromised in the interest of offering a dynamic handler. Dampers are of the frequency selective variety, meaning they have two separate circuits to take care of small and big bumps without compromises. Only on sharper irregularities at high

speed, does the suspension get unsettled a bit. If you do spot a bad patch, you can trust the brakes to slow you down quickly, without too much dive to upset the balance of the SUV. Our test route didn’t offer much in the way of corners, but the direct and communicative steering was most helpful with feedback around the few corners we did encounter. The CR-V didn’t exhibit too much lean, even when pushed into a corner, with the 60:40 front/rear split AWD system making its presence felt, in the way it allows the big SUV to accelerate out without torque steer.

VerdictWe’ll have to wait a little longer to get pricing on the new CR-V but if priced sensibly, it’s a great alternative to the slightly smaller Hyundai Tucson, and larger, more expensive VW Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq. We think it could lure away a select few from bigger SUVs like the Ford Endeavour, especially those looking for something that’s easier to drive around the city. The class-leading fuel efficiency should help make the decision easier for some people.

The petrol is the SOHC 1,997cc from the outgoing model, mated to a CVT with six speeds. With 154PS

at 6,500rpm and 189Nm at 4,300rpm, performance is adequate. The CVT transmission is one of the best we’ve used, but still suffers from some of the dreaded rubber band effect if throttle isn’t applied judiciously. Having a sixth preset ratio means it’s equally relaxed on the highway, clocking a similar 1,900rpm at 100kmph. It doesn’t like being revved too hard though, so building speed isn’t as effortless as it is on the diesel.

The Audi RS6 Avant is a ludicrous load lugger. Who wishes for a bi-turbo V8 in a station wagon? A family that laughs and sings together at 250kmph

instead of clinching the door handles? Or people that are so crazy for shopping or for IKEA that they need a 560PS car to

grab their wares before the impulsiveness wears off? Which pet signs up for the vast expanse of a 565l boot in exchange for a knot in its intestines every time this car accelerates? Has to be a dog - a car that catapults from naught to 100 in 3.9s is not for the pussies. I personally don’t know of any family, (or pets) that would pay top buck for a car like that. But I’m guessing there are quite a few out there

who would. Otherwise, why would Audi go all out and build an even faster version of the RS6 Avant?

Yes, it exists - at least until they build a new RS6 based on the all-new A6. It is called the RS6 Avant Performance and visually it doesn’t look any different! That means you still get a road-hugging estate with gaping air dams and humongous alloy wheels. And because this model

is ageing, the cabin has the same old slide-out screen, a clutter of switches and a console full of analogue clocks with needles that can move real quick.

To enable bigger bragging rights over your one in a million doppelgänger, the 4.0l engine now puts out 605PS of power, while the torque is still 700Nm. But if that sounds unusually low, the engine comes with an overboost function

will add 50Nm more for a short burst of time. The TFSI mill still sounds as festive while churning it out all that power. Go pedal to the metal and the RS6 Avant Performance goes 0.2s quicker to 100 than it’s lesser sibling! I can understand if Audi boosted the R8 with that sort of power because it is a sports car after all. I would even give the RS7 a nod, for it’s a fastback. But enabling that sort of

acceleration in a station wagon is like pulling a practical joke on every other motorist, every time you accelerate. But it is a Batman’s Joker kind of joke and I quite like it. Imagine the Joker outrunning Bruce Wayne’s Lamborghini with an estate. Wouldn’t that be the most epic chase sequence ever?

Since practicality is a keyword for this car, it comes with cylinder deactivation


technology in its engine - which improves fuel economy by discreetly running as a four-cylinder engine when you are cruising on the highway. It seems to work, for our cool blue test car returned an impressive 12kmpl on the highway!

If you opt for the Dynamic Package Plus, then you get even more bragging rights! The top speed is unlocked to 305kmph and to reign in that power, Audi will also throw in ceramic brakes for better stopping capability, and they will equip the quattro all-wheel drive system with a sports differential for more agility and grip, and in turn, faster corner speeds.

If you enjoy that sort of a thing, then tick the option for the Dynamic Ride Control too. It will trade in the air suspension for a more magical one that can maintain a nearly flat body balance under cornering or braking. The system hydraulically links the diagonally opposite shock absorbers at the front and the rear. Under cornering or braking, it uses a central valve to regulate the flow of oil in the respective damper to create an opposing force to reduce roll or pitch. Being completely mechanical, this system is virtually lag-free compared to the air suspension. Needless to say, it also works more reliably for our roads.

SPECIFICATION

VERDICT

The RS6 also has one of the most responsive steering systems I have witnessed and that needs getting used to. Like most Audi cars, it does feel over-assisted and artificial, but the dynamics and the drivetrain

performance more than make up for it. So if someone tells you that the RS6 doesn’t feel involving to drive because of the steering, well, just ignore it. The other thing you will probably have to ignore is the fact that there are plenty of fast SUVs out there that offer similar or better levels of practicality as the RS6 Avant. Chances are that they will easily get lost in the sea of SUVs that we have on the roads these days. In that sense, it is hard to trump the exclusivity of the RS6 Avant. There is literally nothing like it on the road — neither in the performance car heaven or the commuter car world, and that is what makes this car so special. Get one if you can. The family and the dog will eventually catch up.

YOUNGMONEYThe segment-

leading BMW X1 has a serious new rival in the

Volvo XC40


MONEYTEXT ROHIT PARADKAR | PHOTOGRAPHY ANIS SHAIKH


The faux wool carpeting and the textured inlays prevent the XC40 from looking like an entry-level offering

VOLVO’S AREN’T KNOWN TO BE DRIVER’S CARS, BUT THE XC40 BREAKS THAT STEREOTYPE


As premium brands look at increasing their market share, entry-level luxury compacts have become a very important segment.

These cars have the all-important task of luring newcomers to the brand and thanks to their perceived do-it-all capabilities, the compact luxury SUVs have been able to carry out this task far more easily compared to their hatchback or sedan counterparts. In this segment, the second-generation BMW X1 that was launched last year, effortlessly trumped the aging Audi Q3 and the diminutive Mercedes-Benz GLA when we compared the three cars. Its superiority reflects in its leading sales figures too, but now there is a new kid on the block - the Volvo XC40 - that challenges all the merits that helped the X1 win.

DesignLately, Volvo has become more of an SUV brand than the estates and sedans that it was popular for, and this is clearly a good time to earn that reputation. The XC40 is their third SUV offering, but unlike the SPA based XC60/XC90, it sits on a new low-cost, modular platform called the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) that it shares with its Chinese parent, Geely. The XC40’s design highlights are an upright stance, the dual-tone colour scheme, and a more aggressive design for the Thor’s hammer lights that go with its youthful appeal. The XC40 is Volvo’s smallest offering but is larger than the Q3 and the GLA and comparable in size to the new X1.

The compact BMW is marginally longer. While the boxier form of the XC40 gives it stronger credentials towards a true-blue SUV styling, the X1’s sculpted lines and sleek form make

the it appear more athletic. The M Sport trim seen here only dials up the oomph factor further with its sportier bodywork and a lowered stance that comes courtesy of the M suspension.

The XC40 looks distinctive despite sharing design elements with its larger siblings and it has been a conversation starter everywhere I have gone with it. That said, the X1 in the racy blue seen here, manages to turn heads even today! The design is a personal preference of course, but it gets all the harder with these cars.

Cabin and practicality The cabins could make the choice easier though, for inside is where the difference is stark! The X1’s cabin is typical BMW, with a driver-centric profile for its slim dashboard. What isn’t typical, is the gear offered, which isn’t a deal breaker. The infotainment is a bit


laggy but supports native BMW apps and Apple CarPlay. If you belong to the other ecosystem though, no Android Auto love for you in here. You also get a head-up display, which reminds you, BMWs are more driver focussed. To that effect, you even get adjustable bolstering on the front seats, but oddly you can’t set the lumbar support to your preference. The front seats are quite supportive, none the less. The rear seats can be adjusted for reach and recline too, which is great for long distance journeys. The head, knee and legroom is quite good too and the large windows and panoramic roof make sure you don’t feel claustrophobic in here. While it misses out on a powered tailgate, the boot opening is wide and easy to access.

Speaking of the boot, the XC40 doesn’t match the X1’s volume but offers more versatility with its quirky permutations and combinations for the cargo area. In fact, all storage spaces are wisely designed in the Volvo and the doors can even swallow a laptop! The cabin has a sense of occasion to it with the magma coloured faux wool carpeting and the textured inlays. The quality of materials is on par with the BMW. The infotainment system has a very easy-to-use interface with its vertically oriented touchscreen, but I personally prefer the dash-mounted screen and rotary dial combo in the BMW, because it doesn’t need me to take my eyes off the road. That said, the XC40’s infotainment is slicker and if you are an audiophile, you simply can’t ignore how much better its audio unit is.

You can’t ignore the list of features either. You get wireless charging that supports plus size phones, heated seats (though I would prefer cooled), and there

The X1 doesn’t get lumbar support for the front seats, but reach and recline adjustment on the rear seats is great for long distance journeys


is adjustable lumbar support too. The XC40 feels roomier, thanks to the large glasshouse and has the larger cabin, courtesy of the boxy exterior. It is easily the more pleasant cabin to be in then, but once you get to drive it, you realise that is doesn’t really offer you that commanding view of the road that one typically expects in an SUV. The X1 is marginally better in that regard.

Drivetrain, ride, and handling If you are a driving enthusiast, chances are that your first choice in this segment would be the X1. The sDrive variants are front-wheel-driven and have inherent understeer. The one that promises more fun is the xDrive20d. The ‘x’ indicates an all-wheel-drive, which is rear biased for a more involving drive and that reflects in how nimble this variant feels over its lesser siblings. Don’t expect 3 Series levels of fun, but this is the closest the X1 can get to BMW’s fabled driving dynamics.

Feeding 190PS power and 400Nm torque to this drivetrain is the humble 2.0l four-cylinder engine that has a healthy mid-range pull and a linear acceleration

that doesn’t overwhelm the driver. Since it is transversely mounted in the X1, it employs the compact Aisin eight-speed gearbox, unlike the ZF transmission that goes with the longitudinally mounted iteration of this engine. The Aisin unit doesn’t feel as telepathic when pushing hard, but has smooth and predictable shifts fit for a premium car. The X1 is a fairly easy car to drive in that sense and can be quite enjoyable when you are in the mood. The high refinement of the engine also makes sure that is doesn’t feel like an entry-level offering.

Choosing the M Sport xDrive variant also gets you the M suspension which has a relatively stiffer setup. While that contributes largely to the excellent driving dynamics of this car, it can make the ride quite harsh on mediocre roads. So if you find it too jarring for your liking, you will have to agree to a bit of understeer and go with the aforementioned sDrive variant instead. No points for guessing which variant I would choose if I went with the X1. Big if.

That is because the XC40 is exceptionally good to drive! I recently

fell in love with the X3 for how it drives and how significantly better its dynamics are compared to the otherwise perfect XC60. But in this test, I was surprised by how close the XC40 comes to the X1 in terms of driving fun. In fact, it gives the X1 a run for its money and that is a big deal! Volvo’s aren’t known to be driver’s cars, but the XC40 breaks that stereotype. It certainly isn’t a benchmark, but it is quite involving for the kind of segment it caters to.

The XC40’s engine is humble too but is quite impressive in the city, highway and around the twisties. This one too uses the Aisin eight-speed gearbox, which transmits power through a Haldex all-wheel drive system. The AWD is more safety biased over driving fun, which leads to the XC40 being a wee bit understeery compared to the X1. But the overall balance that the XC40 achieves with the ride quality and chassis balance, gives it more points in my books. All I would want to see improved in this car is the steering feedback - which will make it the perfect package for driving enthusiasts and casual buyers alike.

VerdictUnlike the last time when we conducted a comparative shoot-out in this segment, the two cars here are so closely matched that it would be hard to make a choice between them. But the verdict becomes simpler as we put the cars through their paces and awarded them points for various attributes. The BMW X1 is excellent as always and leaves little room for complaint. But the XC40 just does most things a little bit better and finally amasses more points than the X1, to become a clear winner of this test.

“THE NEW MERCS REALLY SHOW IMPROVED CORNERING PERFORMANCE. THOUGH IT WAS CHALLENGING BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER, IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING I COULD DO EVERY WEEKEND!”

Fastest lap: 2min 47.160secTotal laps: 63


A stern voice comes over the radio, “Easy! We’re only halfway through!” It’s 4.37am, the sky is dark as ink, the stillness pierced by the sound of tortured tyres screeching across the tarmac, coming onto the main straight. Flying down it, I barely have time to mutter an apology across the radio, before diving on the brakes and pitching the newest C-Class from Mercedes-Benz into the first corner of the Buddh International Circuit. It’s a real exercise in willpower and constraint, and concentration, to not go quick! I’m on my favourite racetrack, in a car with 200-odd horses, filled with the nervous excitement of being on the

way to making history. So excited, I’ve even begun writing this account with it. Yet, I’m being asked to rein those horses in. That takes some effort. But to understand why, we’re going to rewind the clock – back to before the start of the OVERDRIVE Mercedes-Benz 24-hours Performance Run.


The first challenge was lighting up the track – all 5.1km of it. It’s not an overnight task, not by any stretch. Ex-editor of OVERDRIVE, Bertrand D’Souza, and his Speedway team came into play. With the Herculean effort of making sure the 16 corners of the track were visible and safe to attack at night, we get down to the business of running two cars non-stop for 24 hours.

We knew this much – a luxury sedan like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class would be capable of clocking very respectable laps in the mid 2min 50sec range. That gave us a fair idea of how much distance we could cover in 24 hours. What we didn’t, was how the extreme weather Delhi has

would affect the attempt – with a bearing on everything from lap times, to tyre wear, brake pad wear, overall exhaustion of everyone involved and even the safety of the drivers. While a hot day means accelerated tyre and brake wear and potentially slower times, at least it’s a constant. A known. The thunderstorm predicted for the day of the run would be uncharted territory. Heck, just a brief rain shower during our practice runs made for zero visibility, both for the drivers and the track officials monitoring the cameras around the track. Our (only) practice was red-flagged immediately, barely two laps after it began. If it rained during the record attempt, that would be

430 laps, 2,200km. That’s more than seven times the distance of the 2013 Indian GP, before the sun set on Formula 1 in India

“ROCK SOLID CAR, SUPER DEPENDABLE TYRES AND A HARD-WORKING TEAM. ALL OF IT MADE THE RECORD POSSIBLE, AND I’M THRILLED AND HONOURED TO HAVE BEEN PART OF IT.”


JK TYRE

There was no question about what tyres we would use to set a national record on India’s only Formula 1 track. The ultra high performance UX1 from JK Tyre, which uses an optimised compound, designed for high-speed control and durability. We genuinely were thankful for how much grip the tyres offered, even after pushing them past their limits, since it meant we could put down fast laps and be consistent at the same time.


red-flagged too, we were informed by the officials. Not the end of the world, but if everyone involved is already tip-toeing the limits of exhaustion, every extra minute spent awake opens the door for a mistake. And mistakes are the last thing one needs in such a concerted effort.

Each of our drivers were scheduled in for one-and-a-half hours of driving at a stretch, with everyone needing to put in two stints, or more. We all had prior experience of the track, except for Rishabh. Bert, and some of the racers, even had experience being part of a 24-hour run before. But no one had ever attempted this long a stretch at a Formula 1 track like the BIC, where the speeds, and forces on the body, are much higher than at any other racetrack.

And for a production car, that too a premium sedan, the C-Class does a mighty job under the demands of the BIC. Both of them do, the C 220 d and the C 300 d. The 2-litre engines in both are differentiated by a tune, and make 194PS and 245PS respectively. Torque is where they shine, 400Nm of it in the C 220 while the C 300 churns out 500Nm. In fact, the engines on both are so

responsive and the torque so immediate, that picking the cars up from second in the hairpin (turn three) at BIC, would have the rear wheels chirping on the shift into third. We were driving the cars in Sport, with the cars’ safety electronics on and the gearbox set to shift on its own. It was determined that would be the easiest on the cars.

It’s the start of the driver’s briefing. Sunny Kumar, of JK Tyre Motorsport, is making it clear to the drivers, half of whom are professional racers: This isn’t a race. This is a 24-hour test of how far we can take a production luxury car, on commercially available tyres, driving on a world-class racetrack designed for Formula 1 cars. It’s a test of how far the pit crews, our production crew, track support and drivers can make it before exhaustion takes over. More than anything, it’s a collective statement, a testament to the engineering, performance and durability of the car and the tyres. And of the entire team. Here’s an indication of the scale of what we were going to attempt – 700 litres of regular Turbojet diesel on standby, 60 JK Tyre UX1s, and three pit garages full

24:00H to goAbhay and Mira are flagged off. After the buzz surrounding the cars in the pit boxes – getting them stickered, fuelled, tyred, photographed and filmed – there’s almost a sense of unease now that they’re out on track. No one quite knows what to do for a few minutes, except wait for the screens to flash with news of the lap times of the two cars as they cross the start/finish line. Soon, the pit crew sneaks off to rest before they’re called on again. Our camera crew run to hitch a ride to a good vantage point around the track. The times are along the lines of what we expected – slowly getting better as Abhay and Mira both open up the cars a little more, exploring just how far is far enough. Nine laps in, Abhay sets a 2min 50sec flat. At this point, there’s only a few drivers watching the timing screen. Even though it was made clear it’s not a race, we all know a quick lap time is the pole we must vault over.

22:42H to go Mira comes in for the first live pit stop. It’s been decided to have the car drive into the pit box, where it’s easier to access tools. These might be Formula pits, but the pneumatic wheel gun we have, has a cord that only stretches so far. It’s also been decided to change only the front tyres after 25 hard laps. Think that’s a short distance? At the same championships that run at BIC, the cars get fresh tyres all around every race. The races are usually 10 laps. The BIC is hard on tyres, especially the front left ones. Abhay pits a short while later, and it’s now Raghav and Anmol out on track.

22:15H to go It seems both drivers have it figured out – push for a lap, set a time and then back off before someone gets on the radio yelling. The team effort is for consistency, yes. But the racers can’t help but push for a good timing too. Times drop below the 2m 50sec mark for both cars.

19:25H to goWe cross the 100 lap mark and the cars makes a pit stop. This is the BIG stop – the crucial one. All four tyres, brake pads at all four corners. The JK Tyre team is handling refueling,

which leaves the Mercedes-Benz crew to loosen lug nuts, inspect the pads, pry the calipers off, slide in new pads, and redo everything they just undid. The first BIG pit takes less time than expected, under 13 minutes. It’s also properly dark now, drivers relying on the track lighting and excellent LED lighting of the Mercs to do the job. We thought lap times would increase with decreased visibility. That’s not so. The track surface is cooler, cars are running cooler and we start seeing glowing red discs between the spokes of the wheels. There’s nothing cooler than that! We realise we can’t see the glowing rotors of the C 300, since its brakes are ventilated and appear to be very efficient at cooling themselves.

15:45H to goIt’s past midnight. No one seems to be awfully sleepy, though I do come across a couple of slumped over, head-on-chest figures in the lounge area. They don’t

stay that way very long. Saran sets the session’s quickest lap time, a full second quicker than the previous benchmark lap by Diljith. He pits a few laps later and is presumably given an earful, but the lap time sticks. Sarosh comes in a little earlier than expected, since his dinner was too close to his driving stint, and as a result didn’t quite want to stay down.

15:25H to goShortly after, Rohit goes and sets the quickest lap time of the session in the other C-Class! The two cars are running the best we’ve ever seen and at some point are even trading places on track. Everyone wanted to avoid that, since it usually leads to both cars pushing too hard.

13:40H to goMy alarm brings the first real sleep I’ve had in a few days to an end – it feels like it rang about 20 hours too

soon. That feeling doesn’t last long, it’s almost immediately overtaken by that same nervous excitement, at its peak. It’s finally time for my stint behind the wheel. There’s some concern in the pits over conserving the brakes on the car. I would need to nurse the brakes till the next BIG stop in an hour and a half. No pressure, then.

12:40H to go The car is so easy to work into a rhythm, it’s easy to get carried away every now and then. I haven’t paired my phone audio, nor is there anything playing on the radio. To keep myself entertained, I experiment with lines and braking. The electronics let you be a total hooligan, and bring you back in line without drama. There’s so much torque, I find I need to feather the throttle to get the best results. I am still taking it easy on the brakes, so laps feel smooth, if unremarkable. Time sheets show smooth really is fast.

MOBIL 1

Running a stock car at a track is stressful for the engine. Running one for 24 hours at race pace non-stop is torture. So, we had to choose the absolute best when it came to engine protection. Enter Mobil 1’s 0W-40 fully synthetic engine oil. With its proprietary multi-layer anti-wear technology, it’s been specifically formulated for extended use. And, it works! Neither car skipped a beat, and gave us all the engine’s power, lap for lap till the chequered flag.

“I’M HUNDRED PER CENT SURE WE CAN GET ANOTHER 9-10 SEC OUT OF THE CAR! EVEN WITH THIS LAP, I WAS WORRIED I WAS GOING TO GET A BEATING FOR PUSHING IT!”



9:00H to go With the sun up, so are most of the people on track. Running on sleep varying from little to none at all, yet everyone’s still driven by the singular goal. We’re well on the way to exceeding our original estimate!

6:12H to go A bird takes Mira by surprise. Or maybe it was the other way around. No damage to the car, luckily, but subsequent drivers are advised to use the horn if more wildlife appears.

4:27H to goOver 1,800km later, the cars were brought in for their last BIG pit stops, but it’s taking time. The pads can’t be changed since the pistons in the brake calipers are refusing to budge. The brakes need to be cooled and there’s nothing we can do but wait.

0:15H to goAfter a series of consistent laps, Abhay is ready to bring it home in style. It seems like the number of people has grown tenfold, and all of them are gathered at

the end of the pit lane, waiting to get the money shot of the waving chequered flag.

As that flag comes down, the Mercedes duo cross the finish line for the last time. Despite borderline exhaustion, everyone involved looks like they’ve just returned from vacation! It’s a new record after all, one set at a racetrack ideal for setting record lap times, not record distances. Thinking of the scale of the effort involved, it’s fitting that OVERDRIVE and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class now hold the national record – 2,200km clocked in 24 hours at a Formula 1 track.

2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 D

TEXT ABHAY VERMA | PHOTOGRAPHY ANIS SHAIKH

Mercedes-Benz is associated more with luxury and opulence, in India, rather than sportiness, even

though it even sells a whole lot of performance cars in India. On the same note, the C-Class is better known for its rich feel and comfort rather than as a sedan with a sporty intent. The all-new C 300 d is anything but a more opulent-feeling oil burner though, as we found out during our 24 hour Performance Run at the Buddh International Circuit.

Its sportier intent is conveyed in heaps by the car’s design. The C 300 d is on offer only with an AMG Line body kit and gets a single-slat, diamond studded grille, while the front bumper looks sportier and more aggressive too.

The headlamp unit is a classy looking adaptive, multi-beam LED unit that illuminated the circuit well even in the dead of the night. The car runs on 18-inch AMG alloy wheels. The interiors are classier too, as the steering wheel is a flat-bottomed unit while the infotainment display is a 10.25-inch screen with a crisp resolution and the seats are draped in tan brown leather.

The four-cylinder, 2.0-litre diesel engine is an all-new, BS-VI compliant motor and offers 245PS and 500Nm in this guise. With a claimed 0-100kmph time of 5.9 seconds, the car was quick on track, accelerating briskly, be it on the straights or while exiting corners. The nine-speed automatic gearbox is quicker to respond which also helped on track, offering downshifts perfectly in time to accelerate out of corners while

in the meat of the torque curve. Shifts in Sport+ mode were enthralling, as you get a little jolt with each upshift. The suspension has a sense of firmness which made for a confident feel, but the C-Class is meant to be a plush car which results in some amount of body roll when chucked hard into corners.

Steering feel is good too – the system responds well to inputs and also offers ample feedback. More importantly, the seats and driving position are extremely comfortable which made two-hour driving stints on track seem like a breeze, and every driver came back saying he could have been out on track for longer. Priced at `48.50 lakh, the C 300 d isn’t significantly more expensive than the C 250 d it replaces, especially considering how much more it has to offer.

T he silver and carbon-fibre Porsche 911 GT2 RS roars forward, straining to be let loose from your grasp. Constantly. Addictively. Violently. You always

think that it’s doing this make your life better, rather than to kill you. It’s the strangest way to make 700PS/750Nm you will ever experience. If you don’t feel a great swell of throbbing, pulsing love for this marvellous car, you might have accidentally died and not realised it - be careful, okay?

Wait. Maybe that’s how this story should end. Erm.

The 911 GT2 is a fable. A legend. A homologation special that was first created in 1995. The RS - Renn Sport or Racing Sport in German - came in 2010, because the madness of the GT2 wasn’t enough. Porsche fanatics speak of the GT2s in hushed tones. The fans buy them for the experience, and boast value. And mysteriously, keep failing to sell them while buying more mundane automobiles to quench their need for mobility.

It’s not hard to see why, though. I’ve always believed that the most

The gaping intakes on the front airdam and the low ground clearance, plus the other vents and intakes make the Porsche 911

GT2 RS very hard to look away from


powerful experiences are the simplest ones. The GT2 formula is easy to grasp — turbocharged engines, big power, track suspension and rear-wheel drive. A delicately balanced beast of performance, accuracy, and of skill.

You can make your own RS, it’s that simple. Take a 911 Turbo S. Remove all the non-essentials. Max out whatever’s left to the limits of what technology, material science and performance madness allows at the time. Stick on the RS badge to make sure that the weight distribution is correct. And you’re done. All servings will be hot, promise.

Maxxing everything out is not easy. Porsche Motorsport engineers are super(crazy)good. So fettling the 3.8-litre turbo-boxer-six into churning out 700PS, allowing it to rev to 7,200rpm (with a turbo? Y’all crazy), making more torque than the even the GT3 RS... yeah, no biggie. We just need a water-cooled intercooler with its own reservoir. If I were a genius I’d be done by Tuesday and I’d take the rest of the week off.

But then we have to max out the brakes too, remember? The serving trays at home are smaller than the

410mm front brake with its carbon-ceramic pads. We need sticky rubber too! Okay extra-fat track-ready tyres (325s at the back!) from Michelin (or Dunlop) are on the way. Let’s also get the best suspension we can and make it frighteningly adjustable to keep the anoraks happy. Centre-nut wheels make getting to the adjustable bits relatively easy. And the wheels are lightweight too, so you won’t even sweat - we save that for later. Enough? Maybe add an optional (Weissach, 18kg ligher) package that consists of many carbon-fibre bits even for the suspension, ja? Wunderbar!

This thing will hit 340kmph now. And quickly. 2.8 seconds to 100kmph, 8.3 to 200, 10.5 to 400m, 300kmph in 22.1. Maybe we need some aero?

Let’s give it a front air dam that hoovers the road up with giant intakes that could swallow a decent sized bird whole. We’ll put two NACA ducts on the bonnet to cool the brakes, and then add a mean-looking carbon fibre ‘gill’ on each fender to extract the air from the wheel wells. And to finish, a giant, adjustable spoiler, also in carbon. Plus ram air to the rear diffuser. And that

iconic 911 silhouette.Ladies and gentlemen, the 911

GT2 RS, in its 2019 edition is the most powerful road-going 911 ever built. It weighs just 1,470kg. If it isn’t magnesium, aluminium, steel, glass, rubber or alcantara, it’s carbon-fibre. But it’s not a spec sheet. It’s a car.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is properly nuts-fast. We were on a narrow road at one point, with a 100kmph limit, hairpins and blind corners and bless my soul, no traffic to speak of. The GT2 RS wouldn’t stay below 140kmph. I was simultaneously scared shitless, convinced I could go faster, and giggling like a girl for most of it.

But you cannot even light up the traction control lights. The grip levels are unreal. After a while you think, “Screw braking, I’ll just turn the steering, wait for a moment and give it full gas.” Seems to work gorgeously too! This rear-wheel steering thingummy is invisible to the driver but it shrinks a wide, long-ish sportscar in the most Harry Potter of ways. The tiny steering wheel produces a fantastically light, direct and feelsome direction change that is as quick as


a housefly and shockingly precise. Electric-assisted steering has been solved, ladies and gents.

Driving like this makes you happy about the racing buckets. You fall into a carbon fibre and alcantara womb and get locked into place. The cockpit is a familiar five-pod layout where the right most pod helpfully switches to navigation just before a turn. I couldn’t check the rest out because this car is too frikkin’ fast for me to have the time to notice the dials.

The rest of the cabin is simple but the material fit and quality suggests, correctly, that this isn’t a cheap car. The GT2 RS is not outrageously feature-loaded, but it isn’t a shell with an engine either. Nice balance there! Purists can delete the air-conditioning. Impurists can add a big bang Bose system.

On German roads, even slightly bumpy ones, the GT2 RS - in normal mode - feels light on its feet, almost absorbent for a surprisingly large part of the driving. Sharp bumps and manhole covers will jiggle your belly a bit. Switch to track mode and you’ll feel like your arse is made of iron and you’re skidding along the tarmac - it’s very intimate. In India, it will probably shake itself to pieces, especially if an arse like me decides to turn this jewel into my daily driver. I think you should get a 911 Turbo Cabriolet, now my second favourite car, for that and save the RS for special occasions.

Smooth, flat roads are devoured with an unrelenting, ravenous appetite. The 911 GT2 RS inhales straight roads so rapidly that it sometimes feels like you overtook the horizon all a-giggle.

The cabin reverberates with a Porsche-typical roar that will wake the dead, or you’ll die of goose pimples.

But it’s the corners the 911 GT2 RS lives for. It attacks them with ferocity and precision. It attacks them like it weighs 600kg and is the size of a small hatchback. 200km of corners later, the GT2 RS remains as unbelievable as the first corner you raged through.

Once you sort of adjust to its instant explosions of acceleration and the directness of responses in the turns, you will notice two things.

First, this is a car where the driver feels an extraordinary connection to the vehicle, as well as to what it’s doing and going through. It’s almost as if the engine, the gearbox, the suspension, the brakes and the wheels have direct lines to your brain. It makes you invincible, thrilled and just a little bit scared at the sense of immense power that you suddenly are wielding.

Second, this is a vastly, cheerfully friendly car. This isn’t scary-fast Italian horsepower. Or an alien bull that wants you to climb inside so it can kill you comprehensively with performance either. This is an incredibly grippy rear-wheel drive car with 700PS that seems to grab you by the scruff of your neck and show you levels of performance (its) and ability (yours) that you didn’t even dream existed.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is Zuffenhausen-Weissach’s incredible gift to themselves as they celebrate 70 years of Stuttgart’s storied sportcar brand.

It also happens to look insane. A 911

Turbo on Hulk serum. It’s super wide - and for the record, wide skirts beat minis all days of the week and three times on Thursdays — and it sits low to the ground. The spoiler’s tall enough to have its own microclimate. Carbon bonnet, scoops and vents. Inside, a simple shelf behind the two seats with enough space - but no seats - for two screaming toddlers to have the most politically incorrect ride of their lives. They’ll behave for the rest of their lives on the promise of an encore, guaranteed.

No one ignores the Porsche GT2 RS. Everyone has to look, at least twice. Perhaps to wonder if we went so fast that all the sponsor livery and the race number blew off. Then they smile. As if they know how good a time you’re having, rather than with envy. On the Autobahn, people will regularly pull up parallel just to look at all the bits on the car. The carbon brake vents, those famous hips, the smiles in the windows...

Then the Autobahn’s speed limit ends sign whizzes by.

Seven-speed maxxed out PDK (Porsche’s acclaimed twin-clutch gearbox) — a GT-series first - makes 16.2 million gearchanges in minus 0.0003 seconds. Angry roar. Giant spoiler disappears over the horizon in an instant and a half.

All that’s left is the echoing boom of that exhaust note that hangs in the air. The roiling cloud after the rocket’s left the launch pad.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is mad. The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is great. I want one. You should want one too.

356 SL

The 356 SL - and yes, the new 919 Hybrid - both are Le Mans winners! The 356 SL won the 1951 24 hour. The “Tin Can” produced 46 horses only, but its the noise it made that earned it the sobriquet

718 W-RS Spyder

Only one was built, precisely 10 years after the 356 SL. It won end over end for four years, earning it the nickname, “Grandma”. Where did it won? Manywheres! But important ones are the 1961 Le Mans class victory and the 1964 European Hill Climb Championship

From 1982 to 1994, this car took the Le Mans victory a full seven times. What was it famous for? The 620PS engine really knew how to make fuel last. No, really!

911 GT 98

From 1996 to 1998 - yes there’s a pattern — the GT1 couldn’t win. 1996, a Porsche prototype, a private entry was ahead. In 1997, mechanical issues. But the 1998 cars, came in first and second after the leading Toyota failed to finish. Phew!

919 Hybrid

1,000PS. Hybrid power. Victory. 19th Porsche Le Mans title. Third in a row, so the trophy goes home to Weissach too!

Rajasthan!

Vintage


Grand structures like this stepwell in Neemrama narrate their own stories of its rich past. Even when not in its best shape, the ruins of the Neemrana Baori is an architectural marvel that should be preserved and maintained


This installment of “The Finer Life” has us travelling to the North of India. Rajasthan, to be precise. The reason behind choosing India’s largest state is its rich culture and historic legacy that can be seen almost everywhere in

all its beautiful locations like Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Jodhpur and others. With an intention to unwind ourselves and distract our mind from the mundane routine, we chose to drive down to Neemrana which is considered an ancient historical town located in the Alwar district of Rajasthan. To give a brief overview of this experience, we witnessed a more than 500 year old architectural delight, a step well that was built in the 1700s, as well as the rapid industrialisation that’s been happening in this part of India.

Our partner on this journey was the Hyundai Xcent, a sedan that has not only been the popular choice among many in the India but also comes with the latest connectivity options paired with an efficient choice between 1.2l petrol and diesel engines. What makes the Hyundai Xcent even more special is the fact that Hyundai has made ABS with EBD a standard feature, displaying the brand’s focus on safety and also giving better value to the Indian customers.

After collecting the Hyundai Xcent from the Delhi airport, we began our journey towards Rajasthan. Since we had landed early in the day, just as peak hour traffic was building, there was no escaping it. In fact, a wrong turn made us take a huge

Neemrana’s Japanese Zone has many Japanese brands making a base for manufacturing and research and development purpose. Additionally, Japanese hospitality too is set to increase its presence in this region with more hotels and restaurants in the near future


detour before we finally landed on the NH48, on our way to Neemrana. While all of this did cost us time, we had no complaints whatsoever because our Xcent’s air-conditioning made sure we didn’t lose our cool while the CarPlay compatible entertainment system played our favourite tracks from my roadtrip playlist. Once you cross Gurugram, it is a straight highway with well paved tarmac. A definite recommendation on this route are the parathas served with white butter, that is served in most of the dhabas on this route.

Rajasthan is known for its handicrafts and colourful artwork that is exported to the different parts of the world. However, what many are not aware of is that Neemrana is one of the most promising industrial hubs in the country. (RICO) Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation and Japan External Trade Organization Corporation signed an agreement in 2006 to promote Japanese investment in Rajasthan which resulted into an establishment of a dedicated Japanese zone spread at an area of 1,167 acres in Neemrana. Some of the most popular Japanese brands like Nissin brakes, Oiles bearings and Daikin have their manufacturing and research base in this region. And not just that, you will also find restaurants that serve authentic Japanese cuisine in Neemrana. Quite surprising, isn’t it?

Our next stop for the day was the equally interesting Neemrana stepwell that showcases the glorious past of the yesteryears. Look at it and you

can’t possibly ignore its sheer size and the depth. The main purpose of such establishments was to quench the thirst of travellers passing through these villages, in addition to address the drought like conditions affecting farmers. The ground level of this stepwell has close to 86 colonnade openings which allow visitors to descend 170 steps to reach the deepest water source. It has multiple floors and the height of each floor is said to be around 20 feet. Unfortunately, the Neemrana stepwell, that holds such historic importance, has not been maintained properly. It is often misused by the locals visiting there who litter and dump waste on the ground floor.

And lastly, we visited the iconic Neemrana Fort Palace which is a luxury retreat built on the 553-year old medieval fort. This magnificent palace has nine wings that have been built over 14 different layers tiered into a hill spread across 6 acres, all of which gives a spectacular view of the fort palace from a distance. While the resort does have its share of modern amenities and facilities, they have also maintained the vintage charm of the construction by not fiddling much with the layout. Interestingly, there are only two lifts for the lower levels while the upper levels can be only reached by climbing the flight of stairs. And mind you, there are some steep climbs which do require a particular level of fitness. The beauty of the palace gets highlighted in the evenings when it is properly lit. Overall a definite recommend for those looking for a luxurious getaway close to Delhi.


Built in 1464, the Neemrana Fort-Palace became the third capital of the descendants of Prithviraj Chauhan III. In its present form, the fort palace

has 72 suites, amphitheatre, roof-top garden and swimming pools. The beautiful construction of the Neemrana Fort Palace is truly timeless. It

offers a perfect view in the evening

ROCKING ON THE RUBICON

... and driving on one of the world’s most difficult off-road trails

TEXT BOB RUPANI | PHOTOGRAPHY JEEP & BOB RUPANI


The expert spotters were our guardian angels guiding us over all obstacles. The suspension of the Wrangler is most flexible with long wheel travel. The tyres keep kissing the stones and need sturdy sidewalls. The electronic diff locks and sway bar can be disconnected by pushing a button to change the off-road behaviour


I am horizontal on a narrow cot inside a cozy tent high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, USA. Through the open flap I can see hundreds of stars and smell the fruity flavours of pineapple and vanilla being released by

strong resins in the barks of the plentiful pine and fir trees that make up this coniferous forest. The silence around me is spellbinding, but my mind is in a state of high excitement and just won’t let me sleep. Playing out are scenes of traversing over huge rocks and boulders with the fenders and bonnet of the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon lifting up and then dropping

down. Feathering the throttle and coaxing it to deliver power without breaking traction and steering and delicately picking a path to surmount the millions of obstacles and through it all, the vividly blue sky mirroring the hues of the trail I have just driven on. Yes, the fact that I am at the Rubicon Springs Camp, roughly the mid-way point on the ‘Rubicon Trail’- one of the world’s most grueling four-wheel drive trails, is slowly sinking in. No, I don’t want to sleep and lose these magical moments by suspending my consciousness. For ages I have dreamt of driving the Rubicon and now that I am actually in the middle of it, I want to live

and enjoy every moment of it.But what makes the Rubicon

trail so special, and why is it on the dream list of nearly every die-hard 4x4 enthusiast? The Rubicon Trail is a 22-mile (35km) 4x4 rough mountain track littered with rocks and boulders that are more valuable than gold for any off-roading fan. Located west of Lake Tahoe, the Rubicon Trail existed before Europeans ever stepped foot on the continent, having been in use as a trading route and hunting and fishing grounds by native Indians. In the mid-1800s, the first explorers on horse-back (read cowboys) started to


explore this unique and picturesque terrain. Early settlers named the river that runs in this region ‘Rubicon’ after its counterpart in Italy – a small river north of Rome that Julius Caesar fatefully crossed in 49 BC. Drawing upon that history, the term Rubicon now means “a limit that, when passed or exceeded, permits no return and typically results in irrevocable commitment.” Therefore it is said, to “cross the Rubicon” means “to irrevocably commit to a course of action, or make a fateful and final decision.”

In 1953, American 4X4 pioneering legend Mark A Smith, and a bunch of friends, took their Jeep vehicles across the rugged granite path by way of the old Rubicon Trail. This off-road trek was to

become the first official Jeep crossing of the Rubicon Trail and the first-ever Jeep Jamboree. In 1954, Willys Motors — then manufacturer of Jeep vehicles, became involved with the adventure, and ever since, Jeep Jamborees have become fabled annual off-roading events.

The Rubicon Trail still remains one of the world’s most challenging trails – rated a 10 for “most difficult” on a scale of 1 to 10 – and is known as the “granddaddy of all off-highway rock crawling trails”. It passes through parts of the El Dorado National Forest as well as the Tahoe National Forest, reaching elevations above 7,000 feet. It is partially covered in snow in the winter, and is daunting at all times because it’s

The Rubicon Trail is on the bucket list of most avid off-road fans. It offers unmatched challenges and pushes your driving skills to the limit and beyond. It is a highly technical trail requiring you to choose the correct path and position the wheels perfectly. Overcoming the tough terrain is thrilling and richly rewarding


constantly changing. The weather varies with evenings being particularly chilly. Trees fall exposing their roots and the rocks and stones move every day, due to the passage of vehicles and erosion from fast blowing winds and rapidly flowing water. In the cold months, the expanding ice cracks open even the strongest of stones and when it rains, the dry dusty valleys can turn into muddy marshes ever so ready to overwhelm even the best of tyres and drivers.

The path with steep rocky inclines and sheer drops is so narrow most of the way, that avoiding the obstacles is not an option. You have to ride over the ridges, and precision and skill is particularly vital to traverse this technical and tremendously beautiful trail. Of

course you require a strong and reliable vehicle that has to have four-wheel drive and a transfer case with low ratio gears, delivering a low crawling speed. This tough terrain also demands at least one locking differential, but obviously both front and rear are more useful. The Rubicon Trail does not respect LSDs (limited slip differentials) or traction control or any of those electronic off-road driving modes. This is the land where ‘lockers rule’, because you often have multiple wheels off the ground and full power is called for by the wheel in contact. And it’s only locking differentials that can provide this.

A lifted suspension, big tyres with strong sidewalls and deep chunky tread patterns are a must too. In fact

through most of the drive you hear the sound of tyres squelching and rubbing against the stones. Sturdy skid plates and underbody protection are essential, because when you get it wrong, as you often will, the hardened metal hits the stone with a heartbreaking bang, the sound of which is truly deafening. But when you do get it right, it’s magical and quite indescribable. You feel like an artist behind the wheel whose reflexes and responses have synthesized with the stones, allowing you to literally dance in rhythm with the rocks. It actually gives you a sense of being a ‘rock star’.

My odyssey was made easier due to the fact that I was driving the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, which Jeep says is the only vehicle that can go


straight from the showroom floor and successfully take on the Rubicon Trail. Having witnessed this from the driver’s seat, I have no hesitation in saying that the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is one of the most potent and efficient off-road vehicles ever. While driving it, I also had the impression of being in a technical classroom, where you got a definite sensation of everything working in the environment it was engineered for. One of the first things we did on reaching the start of the Rubicon Trail was to disconnect the front sway bar or anti-roll bar by simply pushing a button on the dash. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon comes with an electrically operated coupling that disengages the anti-roll bar. In normal driving conditions, the anti-roll bar limits the body roll to improve handling on paved

roads. But when it comes to off-road driving, one the key factors is to keep as much of the tyre tread in contact with the ground as possible and the most effective way to do this is by increasing wheel articulation, which can be done by disconnecting the anti-roll bar. Doing this not only gives the solid front axle 33 per cent more travel in off-road driving conditions, but also makes the ride on the trails smoother. The smart electronics ensure that the anti-roll bar is automatically re-engaged when speeds rise close to 30 kmph, to enhance on-road stability.

Both the front and rear locking differentials are electronically operated too. If you are cresting a boulder and find your front wheel slipping, just push up the toggle switch on the dash and lock the front diff. If the rear also

starts to lose traction, then push it down. The result is instantaneous, with the difference in traction and progress literally visible in just a few inches. One thing that impressed me immensely is the suspension setup of the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. It’s as flexible and elastic as any of those Indian rubber men or yoga gurus who can contort their bodies in implausible ways. In fact while driving the Wrangler I was reminded of the lyrics of Steve Hackett’s song, “India Rubber Man, how far can you bend, India Rubber Man, how long can you extend”. It’s not just the elasticity of the suspension and its ability to move the wheels one way or the other to keep them in contact with the ground that is incredible; it’s also the way the dampers or shock absorbers function. You simply glide down into the deepest of craters


and the landings are so soft, it’s virtually like a mother gently depositing her new born into a cradle. The suspension moves like it’s got butterfly wings or many mini parachutes attached to float down as gingerly as a leaf falling from a tree. I will go as far to say, that while driving off-road, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon’s suspension system truly defines the meaning of suspension.

If the Jeep Wrangler made my journey on the Rubicon Trail easier, then the seasoned spotters from the Jeep Jamboree organizing team were our guardian angels, showing us the correct path when the going got even more severe. They not just know the terrain but also the capabilities and limitations of the vehicles. I put my implicit trust

in them and realized that they often ask you to climb a higher rock than you might have on your own, because they are looking for the additional elevation to prevent the underpinnings, especially the differentials from touching the ground. Our guardian angels not only looked after us on the trail, but also ensured we were very comfortable at our overnight halt in the Rubicon Springs Camp, by setting up inviting tents, hot solar showers and serving us the most delicious food in the vast and untamed wilderness that is the Rubicon Trail. If that is not enough, our food came via a helicopter! Because on this desolate and difficult trail, that is the only way of getting any supplies you are not carrying in your vehicles.

The evening at the Rubicon Trail was also unforgettable, because we had a lively old-timer playing us the piano and then we were regaled by a talented musician who summoned the best of country artists into our midst round the campfire. In the one and a half days we spent on the Rubicon Trail, we covered distance at a speed of slightly over 1 kilometre per hour! This is the slowest I have ever gone in an automobile, but boy was it fun. I am absolutely ecstatic one of my dreams has come true, now I won’t just fantasize about ‘Driving the Rubicon Trail’, instead I will cherish the memories and lie awake in bed (how I wish it was that tent in the Sierra Nevada Mountains) and thank my stars. And all those who made my dream come true.

We broke journey at the inviting Rubicon Springs Camp, where a mini tented village with comfortable cots had sprung up. Solar bag hot showers, yummy food, and the best of country tunes around a campfire - it was really just another day in paradise

Power can be defined as “Moving or travelling with great force.” And the most forceful way to do this is to hit the road in a Mercedes-AMG. Normally roads are used to travel from one place to another. But for driving and performance

enthusiasts, they are much more than this. They see every stretch of grey surface as an invitation, and an encouragement to unleash their vehicle’s power that becomes an expression of their personality.

Usually, any road is good to enjoy Mercedes-AMGs. But when OVERDRIVE and Mercedes-Benz get together, the word ‘drive’ takes on a completely different meaning. Then the pleasures of a drive are equal to the delights of the destination and the exhilarating experiences it has to offer.

Saturday, 22nd September marked the start of a ‘special drive’ from Delhi to Jaipur in 13 Mercedes-AMG vehicles. 23 motoring enthusiasts got together with some members of the OVERDRIVE team and after a flag-off from the Mercedes-Benz dealership in Delhi, 17 AMGs took off in a forceful convoy for Jaipur, the royal city and capital of Rajasthan.

The Delhi-Jaipur highway has been widened and improved many times, but because of the volume of traffic it can still get crowded. As you drive out of Delhi, you see the entire region has developed fast and the prosperity is evident by the fancy houses and even fancier cars parked in them. Beyond Manesar, the traffic started to spread out and the drivers could increase the breathing rate of their AMGs, which became a cause for celebration in itself. Because AMGs don’t just develop lots of newton meters, they also generate an awesome sound that is pleasing to the ears. Tejas Chatwal, one of the participants was overwhelmed by the pops and crackles produced by the E63 AMG. “The sight and sound of an AMG makes other people

The new E 63 AMG and the GLE 43 AMG were the

cynosure of all eyes. Great cars and great food

are essentials of any roadtrip


the windscreens of our Mercedes-AMG vehicles. Subsequently, we reached the ‘Elephant Village’ near Amber on the outskirts of Jaipur that has almost 200 resident elephants! The Amber Fort also offers a magnificent diversity of sights, from the 12th century relics of the old town in the valley to the sheer beauty of the 17th century royal palace. The Jaigarh Fort located above Amber, houses the huge and impressive Jaya Vana cannon and also has an impressive armoury containing a variety of swords, spears, guns, battle-axes, etc. The Amber Fort complex provides an insight into the intricacies of defense in the turbulent times of war and siege, and the flamboyant extravagance of the rulers during periods of peace.

After a quick pitstop to catch up on the sights we drove into Jaipur, which is surrounded by hills crowned with rugged forts, and the plains are dotted with pretty palaces. This picturesque and colourful city is a symphony in pink and is full of places to see and things to do, and it casts its spell from the moment you arrive. Jaipur also excels in its choice of period accommodation and our haven was the majestic and sumptuous Ram Bagh Palace. Originally built as a pleasure pavilion, it is now a part of the Taj Group of Hotels.

Once the check-in formalities and lunch were done, we proceeded for our next powerful experience – clay target shooting with shotguns at the OASES JDA Shooting Range. Here the experts on hand taught our group the basics of shooting at the clay targets. Basically in trap shooting, the targets are launched from a single source or machine, generally away from the shooter. And in skeet shooting, targets are launched from two different points in somewhat sideways paths that intersect in front of the shooter. Both, of course, require plenty of skill, but it’s also one of the most immediate ways to feel “Newton’s

Clay and Skeet shooting at the OASES JDA Shooting Range in Jaipur was an exhilarating experience for the participants

clear the way for the car. It’s kind of addictive,” he said with a huge grin on his face.

The full and powerful rumble of the exhaust system is a defining signature feature of every Mercedes-AMG, with each model making its very own distinct sound statements. The various modes make their own unique contribution and alter the sound experience while on the move. Almost every push on the accelerator pedal and each driving situation have an inimitable sound character, which is the equivalent of an exceptional symphony for performance enthusiasts.

So involved was everyone in this exhaust formed orchestra, that before we knew it, we were approaching our first halting place, Neemrana that is about 125 kms from Delhi. The group was charged with the AMG power they had reveled in, and as a result, the refreshment halt was a short one as everyone was keen to get back into their cars. All the talk was about how directly the acceleration could be felt in their AMGs, how much fun it was to drive them, the instant thrust and response, and of course the sonorous sound. They were also updated on the fact that Neemrana, is famous for its fort that was built in 1464 and now this town on the highway has a large industrial zone with many Korean and Japanese factories. In fact, it’s one of the few places in India where you get authentic Korean food! An ancient fort and Korean food, such are the fascinating contrasts of India.

Back on the road, everybody was soon involved in the lively Mercedes-AMG driving experience. Green fields with colourfully dressed farmers tending to them, quaint villages full of small shops selling all kinds of utensils and everyday use items, skilled craftsmen chipping away at marble to create striking sculptures, all this and more flew by, with the world certainly looking a better place through


Laws of Motion- like, every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.”

When a shotgun is resting in its rack, the state of motion does not change. But lift it to your shoulder and pull the trigger and the force is unleashed giving instant acceleration, just like in any Mercedes-AMG. This energy is created by the burning of the charge or gunpowder in the shell or cartridge. When you pull the trigger of a gun, a spring mechanism hammers a metal firing pin into the back end of the cartridge, igniting the small explosive charge in the primer. The primer then ignites the propellant—the main explosive that occupies about two thirds of a typical cartridge volume and this high pressure forces the pellets in the cartridge down the barrel of the shotgun at extremely high speeds of about 1,800 fps (feet per second), which is 1,975 kmph! If


the speed is high, so is the impact and power of the recoil –remember Newton’s third Law of Motion – “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Yes, whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object and in a shotgun, this is recoil- a backward movement caused by the momentum of the pellets leaving the barrel. It’s like being thrown back in the seat of a Mercedes-AMG when you floor the throttle.

All the participants of this drive were thrilled at having this exhilarating experience in the proper controlled environment of the shooting range, with seasoned experts to guide and coach them in complete safety and with the best of practices. Later, some returned and retired to their rooms at the luxurious Rambagh Palace Hotel, while others ventured out to explore the many delights of Jaipur, which is a very popular tourist destination. The Hawa Mahal or Palace of Winds is Jaipur’s answer to Agra’s Taj Mahal. The City Palace is a huge complex with several gardens, courtyards and beautiful buildings. Jaipur is also the home of several exquisite crafts and its bustling bazaars and teeming markets are a vivid showcase of skills in craftsmanship. These traditional handicrafts are a big attraction for shoppers and perhaps, the most popular is Bandhani, the local name for tie and die textiles. Gold, precious and semi-precious stones are traded in the Johari Bazaar (Goldsmith’s market), and the other popular goods include blue-pottery, miniature paintings, carpets, etc. The lanes that house the overflowing shops are interconnected and are like an open-air museum, a treasure house of traditional arts and crafts.

The celebrations in the evening with local entertainment at the Rambagh Palace, saw a lot of camaraderie amongst the participants with many expressing that they would be sad to return to Delhi the next day. Simply because nothing quite matches the magic of going on a motoring holiday in a Mercedes-AMG.

ELEGANCE OF THE RAJ

Every year the Pebble Beach Concours brings out some of the best classic cars in the world.

This year was even more special with a featured class of ex-Maharaja cars, and eleven entries from India

When it was announced in 2016 that the Pebble Beach Concours, arguably the biggest classic

car show on the planet, was going to feature a special class for significant cars of royal heritage from India in 2018, there was a sense of genuine excitement. Pebble had already done a special class of Indian cars in 2012, and for them to do a class so soon was unheard of. It was the positive reaction from show visitors and the media, that got Concours chairman Sandra Button to feature the cars.

Last time around only three entries were from Indian owners, and a majority of the class was made up of Indian origin cars, that were exported to foreign owners in the 60s and 70s. This time around though, there was an overwhelming number of Indian entries, the contrast due to the growing interest

in Concours quality restorations, and the growing enthusiasm of the owners, buoyed by high quality shows back home in India. The entries co-curated by Manvendra Singh Barwani, automotive historian and Pebble judge, were selected to show the various types of cars that the Maharajas had ordered, and not the stereotypical ‘hunting’ cars, that is associated with India.

Eleven cars in total made their way from India, via air and sea, after months of hard work and preparation - to face the Californian sunshine, and brave the thick fog. The cars were split into various categories - Motor Cars of the Raj, Motor Cars of the Raj - Rolls-Royce and Bentley, and two cars were in the general Pre-war Preservation category. All eleven cars were eligible for their class awards, as well as special awards.

After a gruelling 70-mile drive and an intense judging session, the awards were

handed out in grand ceremony. In the end, Amir Jetha’s beautiful Rolls-Royce Streamline Coupe won its class - a pre show favourite, while the fabulous 1931 Cadillac V16 Roadster by Pinin Farina originally owned by the Maharaja of Orrcha (Madhya Pradesh), and is now with the Robert M Lee Collection in the United States, won the Motor Cars of the Raj (F2) Class.

The Best of Show was awarded to a wonderful 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta owned by David & Ginny Sydorick.

While not all Indian entries returned home with awards, they do however come back with the satisfaction in not only gracing the 18th fairway of the famed golf course, amongst the best in the world but also held their own, showing the world, once again, the special place and importance of Indian classic cars in automotive history.

SPEAKING TO SIR JACKIE STEWART — 3-TIME FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPION

We got to take a unique tour of the Quail show field with motorsport legend Sir

Jackie Stewart, celebrating 50 years of his association with Rolex,. Here are excerpts from the tour:

On the Porsche 911 - “a simple little car, that’s reliable and quick. If I were to buy a sports car right now, it would be a Porsche. (They are) well engineered.”

On racing wire wheels - “wire wheels are fine (on sports cars), but not chrome plated. Wire wheels were meant to give (be flexible). Chrome is not flexible.”

On Electric cars - “There is room for it, it gives great performance, (but) don’t know how long it will take, where the future is. You have to believe it’s still early days.”

On Formula E - “I haven’t driven them, haven’t been to a race. They have done a good job, but the speed of the cars (are low). (but) the Public still loves F1. (There is) a long way to go.”

On the Shelby Mustang - “Mustang did so much for American Road racing. The Mustang was the first car young people could buy and go racing (in America).”

On the Aston Martin DB4 GT - “it was the horniest car of its time.”

On the Jaguar E-type - “to me it is the most beautiful car (at the show), the coupe.”

On Quail - “Great collection of cars and the space to see them. Pebble (Beach Concours) is great but very crowded.”

With an interesting mix of classic sports and racing cars, modern supercars and prototypes Quail, a Motorsport

Gathering is one of the most interesting events on the Monterey Classic Car week calendar. It is an ultimate automotive enthusiasts garden party, with food, drinks and music livening up the atmosphere.

This year, Quail had a very significant Indian connection, with Arjun Oberoi entering his canary yellow 1947 Indian Chief

1200 Sportsman motorcycle in the ‘Sports and Racing Motorcycles’ class, and much to his delight taking home the class win. The stunning motorcycle had already won ‘Best in Show’ at the last Cartier Concours, in India, and was originally owned by the Maharaja of Patiala.

The ‘Best of Show’ at Quail was won by 1953 Lancia Aurelia PF200C roadster owned by Anne Brockinton Lee. The car is a one-off concept by Pininfarina, and was featured first show at the 1953 Geneva Salon.

DUCATI SCRAMBLER 1100Ducati’s new big Scrambler is well-equipped and laid back. Presenting the new Scrambler flagship

TEXT SHUBHABRATA MARMAR | PHOTOGRAPHY ASIF ZUBAIRI/DUCATI INDIA


The Scrambler was born in 2014 and Ducati insists that its retro-off-roady-naked is a sub-brand not necessarily bound by the same DNA as every other

Ducati. The 800, an extremely popular motorcycle, was inspired by the smaller Ducati Scrambler series of motorcycles from the sepia days. But three years is a long time. Recently, men with beards, earrings and pants with not enough cloth in them do seem to like old looking bikes. It has caused hits like the oddly-named BMW R nineT and indeed, the Scrambler 800 itself. Ducati doesn’t explicitly say it, but the Scrambler 1100 has become due.

What is it?The Scrambler 1100 is a motorcycle that shares all the ideas that Ducati put together in the Scrambler 800. But Ducati insists that the upgrader doesn’t necessarily want just a larger 800. He also wants a ‘richer experience’. Ducati has not only given the 1100 a bigger engine, more torque and power, and more equipment, it’s also done most subtle work - like adjustable levers and polished screws to create a more expensive feeling. It says the Scrambler 1100 is for those who aren’t looking for the ultimate performance experience anymore, but riders who want a great experience all-round. So upgraders as well as the mature rider looking for a great sensory experience.

The Ducati Scrambler 1100 is a larger motorcycle, emphatically so when the 800 is stood next to it. It’s got a bigger tank that takes 15 litres of petrol (1.5l more than before). You sit on a considerably wider single-piece seat that’s 20mm higher though you won’t notice that. There is also a 120-section front tyre to balance the extra heft visually as well as in performance which sits between the new 45mm fully-adjustable upside-down forks. The new headlight’s X-shaped motif and LED DRLs complete a striking Scrambler-family front-end.

Ducati also added serious electronics. The 1100 has an IMU-equipped Bosch 9.1MP ABS system, which means the bike gets Cornering ABS as standard. An


IMU-equipped motorcycle, says Ducati, is unheard of at this end of the market.

The ride-by-wire also brings a trio of riding modes. City has a smooth throttle response setting with 75PS. Journey brings the full complement of 86PS with smoothness-oriented throttle response. Active is the full-house of a direct throttle and full power. The Scrambler 1100 also has four-stage Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and the City mode runs a safe level 4 while Journey uses a more permissive 3 and Active drops that to 2.

MechanicalsThe engine is all-new featuring a completely different torque curve from the Scrambler 800. This 1,079cc 90° V-Twin (or L-twin if you prefer)

is based on the Monster 1100 but has been updated significantly. The result? Ducati chose an engine setting that allows the torque curve to peak at 4,750rpm and stay flat and high. Ducati says new throttle bodies and the 16° valve overlap help it produce 88Nm at 4,750rpm on the way to 86PS at 7,500rpm. Ducati could have extracted more performance but effortless acceleration and refinement were the goals the bike aims for.

Both Scramblers feel fast but in the most simplistic of explanations, the 800 feels like it pulls hard when you nail the throttle. The 1100 feels like the rear wheel drives you forward with immense thrust. The engine also gets a new hydraulic clutch to reduce lever effort.

This engine is housed in a new frame with a new aluminium subframe that wears new suspension. The new 45mm USD Kayaba forks are fully adjustable and the offset rear monoshock offers preload and rebound adjustments too. The aluminium swingarm looks visually similar to the 800 but is new too. There is more aluminium on the bike too - various trim bits, the front mudguard stays and more are all aluminium now.

Variants - the base modelWhat we have described so far, is the base Ducati Scrambler 1100. Ducati India has already launched it and you can get it in two colours, the yellow that we know from the Scrambler 800 and a black. The price is `10.9 lakh (ex-showroom).

The lines are familiar but the proportions are better on the 1100. Note the cute little extended ‘pod’ on the instruments - and now we get a fuel gauge too! The Special uses delicious chrome headers and aluminium details all over


Ducati Scrambler 1100 SpecialThe `11.12 lakh (ex-showroom) Ducati Scrambler 1100 Special - on these pages — is the middle model, cast in a retro hue. It will come in this fetching grey colour scheme with brushed aluminium highlights. The grey and satin-metal finishes are set off by a retro-style brown seat and lower tapered handlebars. The wheels are great looking spoked units. The eye-catching bit, of course, are shiny chrome headers.

Ducati Scrambler 1100 SportThe `11.42 lakh (ex-showroom) Sport is the top dog. It comes in matte black with twin wide-set orange stripes that run the length of the bike. Trim bits, like the tank sides, are done in black or black-orange schemes. The swingarm is black too. The big ticket item is the Ohlins suspension that makes the Sport just that extra, but desirable. If you think of it as having to pay `30,000 more for Ohlins suspension, the Sport suddenly looks a lot more charming.

VerdictThe Ducati Scrambler 1100 is a beauty. In a filled-out nicely sort of way, it’s more proportionate. The little touches do make the motorcycle look and feel vastly more upmarket than the spartan 800. On the move, the bike is clearly more refined. And it pulls hard with almost any revs or gear combination too. 130kmph is just 5,000rpm in sixth, which means that with a little flyscreen, this could be a good tourer too. Corners are despatched easily though the MT60 tyres are now a vestige of the design ethos more than a functional requirement. The 1100 feels a bit too large and quite a bit too upmarket to throw around enthusiastically off-road, a job for the Desert Sled perhaps. This is a sweet, competent motorcycle.

Two things stick out. First, the stock suspension is very stiff and on broken or indifferent roads, the Special and the base 1100 can feel almost jittery-hard. I would say that all 1100 owners will

need to hunt for a gentler suspension setting. The Ohlins’d Sport is even stiffer in feel, but better overall on the bumps. As usual, Ohlins seems to have a handle on the stiff ride with a magical smoothening of smaller bumps.

Second, the Scrambler 1100 is the luxurious retro-bike that you’d consider once you’re past looking for every extra horsepower like your life depended on it. It’s the bike you’d settle down to. Bike you’d ride a lot because it was easy. And it’s equipped too. Lovely.

I foresee two problems. First, this is expensive. Second, the kind of maturity and subtlety invested in the charms of the Scrambler 1100 won’t be obvious to, or appeal to a majority of the buyers in a young motorcycle market like ours. That’s the challenge really.

But the good thing is that it’s on sale now. Which means that if you’re in the right mind for a bike like this, you’ll be able to waltz into the nearest Ducati showroom and get one. It underlines the ultimate luxury of all — choice.

Given my strong affection for road-biased motorcycles, I was never a huge fan of adventure tourers. They might boast serious go-anywhere

abilities, but didn’t quite fit the bill in terms of entertaining on tarmac or looking as good as, say, sportsbikes and streetbikes. But all that changed with the Ducati Multistrada 1200S. It smashed every notion I had about adventure tourers to bits. It looked good, was scarily powerful, handled brilliantly on tarmac and could yet go places where most motorcycles won’t dare to.

In fact it was so good, Shumi bought himself one and has clocked more than 20,000km on it, in just over a year! So when the updated Multistrada 1260S came out, Shumi obviously pulled rank and rode it first, but surprisingly, the man came back with mixed reactions. I was expecting him to wax eloquent but he stated that while the 1260 does feel better in a lot of areas, it seems to have lost some of the edginess that made the 1200 oh-so-stunning. Really? I wasn’t convinced. So when Ducati told me the Multistrada 1260S was in Delhi, I decided to ride it down to Mumbai, and put it through a thorough, 1,400km road test.

At first glance, the 1260S didn’t look very different from the 1200S. The headlights look near identical and only a close look will tell you that the side panels of the fairing aren’t exactly the same. Of course, the 1260 isn’t a full model change, so the resemblance is a given. There are bigger changes under the skin – to the engine, chassis as also

the electronics, apart from the semi-active suspension getting recalibrated. The new engine is the bigger, 1,260cc L-twin lump borrowed from the XDiavel and offers 158PS and 129.5Nm. The 6PS and 1Nm increment over the 1200 might sound modest, but the magic is in the improved power delivery at low to mid revs. The 1260S also gets a bi-directional quickshifter, while the TFT display is even crisper looking. I also like how vital information like tank range, average speed, fuel efficiency and the like are displayed legibly on the bottom left corner of the screen and can be toggled through easily, which makes processing information on the go easier.

I started out early to avoid getting traffic and found myself accelerating hard to get to the Delhi-Jaipur highway soon. And the 1260S seemed to pull harder than the 1200S instantly, even below 5,000rpm. The quickshifter was working like a charm, offering quick, precise responses. As I hit the highway and opened the throttle to its stop, all hell seemed to have broken loose. I was thrust forward with an urgency comparable to litre-class superbikes and acceleration was so fierce, it was difficult to hold revs even in higher gears! I won’t deny that I was taken aback by the acceleration. And that’s the beauty of a V-twin engine – it doesn’t make you wait before offering its full wealth. Getting to ridiculously fast and (strictly illegal!) speeds is a cinch, which means you’re also covering distances very quickly. More importantly comfort was excellent, and I could stay in the saddle for hours without needing to stand up on the pegs to stretch my legs. Butt breaks

were far and few in between and I got to the outskirts of Jaipur – a shade under 300km from Delhi – in almost half the estimated time!

My destination for the day was Udaipur, 650km from Delhi. The blistering pace that the 1260S allowed, saw me get to Udaipur late in the afternoon, though it wasn’t just the manic engine performance that made it possible. The new engine feels smoother and more refined which contributes to lesser fatigue. The quickshifter certainly helped as well with its butter-smooth clutchless shifts. The seat is wide and comfortable yes, though I wish the padding was softer, just a wee bit more. More importantly, the electronically damped, semi-active suspension helped make the ride supremely comfortable. The suspension uses sensors to relay the information regarding the road surface to the ECU continuously, which adjusts damping real time to offer accurately measured ride and handling.

The next morning, the 1260S had another revelation waiting. As soon as you exit Udaipur and head south towards Gujarat, it’s all fast, well-paved tarmac and twisty roads. I chuckled with glee at the prospect, since the previous day had seen me only munch miles feverishly on arrow straight highways. The 1260S allowed me to carry serious speeds through corners, also courtesy the sparse traffic. As compared to the 1200S, the 1260S felt calmer and more composed while entering corners, thereby affording more time to absorb what’s happening even when doing a fair clip. But in effect, as Shumi pointed out, it didn’t feel as sharp as the 1200 at turn-in. That’s


courtesy an increased rake angle, up by 1 degree, and a swingarm longer by a significant 56mm, which has resulted in slower turn-ins, but improved stability. And the improved stability was welcome, particularly around corners where trucks had left the road surface undulated.

The six-axis IMU also deserves a thumbs-up, and typical of Ducati, electronics are top-notch. I stuck to Sport mode through most of the ride for the quickest of responses, as Touring mode offers the full performance too, but with softer responses. The cornering function of the LED headlights was a boon early in the morning and added to confidence

levels. But the biggest confidence boosters, apart from the suspension, were the Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tyres. The tyres offered massive grip levels throughout. I was also concerned that the long ride and high speeds I was doing would result in a fair amount of tyre wear, but that wasn’t the case. Braking performance is excellent as well, courtesy the 330mm discs and Brembo M50 calipers, which offered braking prowess comparable to streetbikes in terms of bite and stability, both.

Adjustability and positioning of the windscreen helped with good ventilation when lowered, along with excellent wind

The gas-charged monoshock makes for excellent comfort at all times.

Performance from the XDiavel derived 1,262cc engine is mental,

refinement is a notch higher too

The Multistrada 1200 S is one of the most amazing motorcycles. The way it straddles technology

and a stunning blend of street, highway, racetrack and (very) light off-road ability remains a source of amazement for me as an owner with a 20,000km-old 2016 Motorcycle. In comparison, the 2018 1260 S improves almost every aspect of an already acclaimed and accomplished motorcycle. The two things that stand out are the engine and handling feel. The new engine is a total animal. It comes on shockingly strong at about 3,500rpm and pulls hard-hard-harder to the redline. It feels robust, smooth and very, very fast. Brilliant! Coupled with the standard quickshifter, the bike feels like it makes more torque and power than on paper. Fantastic!

Recalibrated electronic suspension and lighter wheels combine to give the new Multistrada an amazingly light-footed feel. It feels almost as if the 1260’s reflexes are even sharper than the 1200. And the ride quality, already superb has been taken another couple of notches higher. I’m so so impressed!

On the flip side, the new menus are simpler in organisation but I keep feeling like I’ve to tap the buttons more to get the same stuff done than before and the display is clear but busier. But the big change for me is that in making the Multistrada more effective, it’s traded in a tiny bit of its character. It’s as if an impulsive, mildly moody strong boy grew up into a strapping, muscly young lad.

SECOND OPINION


protection at high speeds by channeling the air perfectly above my helmet. The second day was a longer stint, but there was never a dull moment in the saddle. The bike enthralled me with its mind-numbing acceleration while handling is so good, the 1260S could give smaller streetbikes a run for their money. And as I got to the outskirts of Mumbai, I didn’t feel particularly exhausted. I felt as if I could have ridden the bike for another couple of hundred kilometres, such was the comfort.

Overall, the Multistrada 1260S takes the already lofty benchmarks set by the 1200S, a notch higher. Its performance will stun you as there’s so much shove on offer at all times that it’s almost impossible to get to the redline in any gear. In fact, everyone who rode the 1260S

in office after me came back stunned, and with large grins plastered across their mugs. What makes the Multistrada 1260 even more enticing is the pricing. The base version retails at `15.99 lakh ex-showroom, but if you ask me, the 1260S with its semi-active suspension is a steal at `18.06 lakh ex-showroom. It builds on the strengths of the 1200S in a way that the overall package even more compelling, especially if you do a lot of touring on tarmac. Of course, you could take the bike to a racetrack and have a blast. Its experience is so wholesome that the Multistrada 1260S can pretty much be all the motorcycle you’ll ever need – it’s fast, comfortable and can go anywhere you like. If the 1200S was a beast, I can confirm to you that the beast has now evolved!


Hyundai’s Hayden Paddon survives a rally of attrition to take his first podium of 2018, even as

his teammate’s title bid gets tricky in Turkey

WORDS VAISHALI DINAKARAN

AND


On the one hand there’s the sun, the sand and the sea. And on the other, there’s blood, sweat and tears. And this is just the beginning of the

dichotomy one can witness in Marmaris where the World Rally Championship has touched down after an eight-year hiatus from Turkey. There are tourists and backpackers, wandering about in leisure, with nary a care in the world. In stark contrast, of course, to everyone involved in the rally, where the clock rules absolutely every move, from the speed at which the drivers tackle each corner, to the speed with which the mechanics must wield their hammers to ensure that they manage to finish flexi service within the 45-minute time frame. And while there are sailboats bobbing along in the Turkish Riviera, many of which have elements of luxury on board, the rally cars that go flying through the stages in Turkey are stripped bare of the non-essential. Every bit and bob is vital, every part on the car critical to being successful in the world of top-flight rallying.

I’m at the service park, watching various cars come in, and head straight into the garage, where flexi service is being carried out. The Hyundai crew is busy working on rally leader Thierry Neuville’s car. The Belgian driver has ended the day with a very slim 0.3 second lead over title rival Sebastien Ogier. And, with two days remaining in the rally, there’s still absolutely no guarantee as to what will happen. After all, predicting the outcome of a rally before every single stage is over is impossible. More so at Turkey, because it turns out the stages are rough. The rally is the slowest one of the entire season, because with the tight, twisty, technical sections, and the massive rocks that are being thrown up onto the stage with every single car that goes by, things become more and more challenging for the following cars. Hyundai WRT’s team principal, Michel Nandan says that the stages in Turkey are more difficult than stages in Argentina or Portugal. And he’s fairly certain that “this generation of driver hasn’t driven in these conditions before.”

Which means 30-year old Neuville and 29-year old Mikkelsen have their

work cut out for them. The team’s two full-season drivers are who Hyundai has pinned their hopes on. Neuville is the one leading the 2018 championship, having missed out on the title in 2017 after a spate of mistakes and driving errors. This year, Nandan says the Belgian is a year older and wiser. And that has made all the difference. The team’s third car is being piloted by New Zealander Hayden Paddon, who alternates with Dani Sordo for the 2018 season. It’s his fifth outing in the WRC this year, and he’ll be hoping for the best. His only win in the championship is now two years behind him already - Argentina, 2016. And he’s had a particularly tough 2017, after he was involved in a crash that killed a spectator at Monte Carlo, after which he withdrew from the rally. A second-place at Poland, and a third-place at the season-finale in Australia were the high points of the season that followed. In 2018, Paddon has yet to make it onto the podium. And he’s quick to acknowledge that the stages in Turkey are brutal.

“Probably the roughest rally of my life,” he says when asked if the rally is the most brutal on the season calendar. There are big loose rocks on the stage, that are making the going very difficult indeed. And Paddon says that he’s amazed at what a beating the i20 WRC, that he’s driving, is capable of taking. Then there’s the fact that the entire rally is a combination of needing to push, but also needing to play it safe. One wrong move, one bit too hard on the accelerator, and everything can come undone. These are stages where one simply has to be very neat and precise to get things right, he tells us, which is why he and co-driver Sebastian Marshall have decided to “be sensible” from the very beginning, sticking to their pacenotes. They’ve suffered a broken damper on the final stage on Friday, which hasn’t helped matters and sees them down in sixth position overall. Still with hopes of getting better, of course.

The next day, we get to witness just how rough the stages are. We’re standing on a hill overlooking a hairpin bend at the Icmeler stage. The first few cars seem to have it easier. They aren’t really cleaning the road for the competitors that follow, instead the more cars that go by, the more the track gets dug up, throwing dirt everywhere, and bringing


rocks and stones right onto the path that following cars have to take. This is both the literal and metaphoric boulder that Rally Turkey has thrown in the way of the competitors. And slowly, yet surely, it becomes apparent that this is a rally of attrition. We see Seb Ogier go by on SS10, leading the rally. And soon after, there’s a broken suspension that him and co-driver Julien Ingrassia have to spend time attempting to repair. It’s both mentally and physically exhausting, but they manage to get the car back to the service park. But in the afternoon, Ogier is so knackered from the energy expended earlier that day, that he doesn’t register a note his co-driver calls out to him, and ends up hitting a tree. It’s a slow-speed crash at around 5kmph. It shouldn’t matter. But this time it does. The ground is so soft that the car sinks right in and it’s an early retirement for the duo.

Meanwhile, Hyundai’s Neuville and co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul have fallen prey to a broken suspension, ending their Saturday. It’s thrown a spanner in the works of their championship hopes. Teammates Mikkelsen and co-driver Anders Jaeger, who had led the rally at

three different points on the Friday, have had a mixed Saturday. They’ve managed to retake the rally lead on SS9, but have then dropped down to fifth overall after driveshaft trouble on the eleventh stage sees them struggle to keep going.

And so it falls to Paddon to lead the charge for the Hyundai team. Him and Marshall have stuck to the plan, driving sensibly. But like he says, the rally has changed considerably. At the end of the Friday, Paddon said of the tyres, “We only had one tiny puncture on the last stage. And towards the end our tyres were quite bald, but the Michelins seemed to be working quite well.” But on the Saturday of the rally, it becomes evident why Michelin increased their per car tyre allotment from 24 to 28. “It’s been much more loose and particularly tough on the tyres. In the afternoon loop, we had to take it a bit steady towards the end because our tyres were practically bald. I have learned my lessons from previous rallies, where we’ve gone out too fast, too early and ended up by the side of the road,” Paddon says. The steady approach seems to have paid off, and he finds himself third overall, behind

Neuville seen yumping his i20 WRC here. Probably not yumping on the inside as the man on the right, Toyota’s Ott Tanak has cut his championship lead down to 13 points. Mikkelsen also airborne in the i20 WRC in Turkey. Hyundai WRC boss Michel Nandan says the team would welcome more competition in the WRC, but cost factor and rally promotion key to attracting new manufacturers. Paddon chats with a fan


the two Toyotas of Ott Tanak and Jari-Matti Latvala. On Sunday, the overall ranking remains unchanged with Tanak ultimately winning the rally, Latvala finishing second, and Paddon making it to third place. It’s his first podium of the 2018 season and it’s come, thanks to an approach that hasn’t been entirely easy to follow. “We have adopted a particular strategy this weekend that has required us to hold back and be patient.”

And it’s Paddon’s words about patience that I find sticking in my head after the rally is over. A certain tiny green being comes to my mind, who, in a very famous scene in a very famous movie says to his young protege, ‘Patience you must have, my young Padawan’. That sentence works remarkably well if you swap out the “Padawan” for “Paddon”. I find myself wondering who Paddon’s version of the all-knowing Jedi Master could be. Possibly Peter “Possum”

Bourne, who won the APRC three times and the Australian Rally Championship seven times, and who Paddon is said to having grown up idolising. And perhaps the late-great Colin McRae, of whom, he’s said in the past, he’s been a huge fan.

Unfortunately for me, I don’t get to ask Paddon any of these questions, because I find myself in a mad dash to the airport. Fortunately I don’t have to contend with any of Turkey’s threatening gravel, just some well laid out tarmac. The view from the window of the car throws up many spectacular vistas of an idyllic beach town, and I can see people sunbathing on beach chairs in the distance. It seems as if there’s nothing remotely hurried about Marmaris at all. And then, brraaaaaaap, a rally car goes by on a transport stage, shaking me out of my reverie, and reminding me that some of the town is still certainly governed by the clock.


Hyundai’s Hayden Paddon, Toyota’s Ott Tanak and Latvala, and MSport’s Timo Suninen all tackling the same corner on the 10.2km Datca 2 stage at Rally Turkey. Somehow the Finnish drivers get more cheers than anyone else on the start list!

The incredibly addictive sport of slot car racing is even more enticing when you replace miniature GT cars with miniature rally cars. Gimme!

also won the first grand prix of 2013. That was the 20th win of his Formula 1 career, and as of this year’s Italian Grand Prix, his last.

Raikkonen could have won in Italy. He started from the pole in his Ferrari and led for a number of laps, but eventually finished second after using up his tyres fighting with eventual winner Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. Raikkonen finished second and made his 100th trip to the podium.

This is Raikkonen’s 16th season in Formula 1 and he is still very fast but maybe not quite as quick as he was when he won the 2008 world championship. And he still wants to be left alone.

“I enjoy the racing,” he said earlier this year. “I don’t think that’s a secret. The rest not, but that’s part of the job.”

The rest being talking to the media, doing PR and sponsor appearances, and all the other stuff that comes along with being a professional race driver. It’s that speed and unflustered demeanour and not caring about all the rest that earned him the nickname “The Iceman” and legions of fans.

It’s that speed that also put Ferrari in a bind this year. Raikkonen had a rocky start in 2018, especially in comparison to his teammate Sebastian Vettel, and that led to growing speculation that this would be his last season with Ferrari.

I heard that at the end of June, the Chairman & CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Ferrari, Sergio Marchionne, wanted Charles Leclerc, who is having a fabulous rookie season at Sauber, to replace Raikkonen for the rest of the season. The Ferrari team talked him out of it, saying it was not a good idea to switch drivers in the middle of the season. Marchionne, who had been ill, passed away on July 25 following surgery complications.

Coincidentally, Raikkonen went on a speed streak with six podium finishes in the seven-race span between France and Italy. Moreover, he showed that he was still capable of winning. Indeed, there have been several occasions over the past couple of years where he would have won had team tactics not favoured Vettel.

So now Ferrari did not know what to do. Keep Raikkonen for one more season or promote Leclerc in 2019? Within the team, the pendulum swung in Raikkonen’s favour but then it switched to Leclerc due, in part, to the

team wanting to honour the wishes of the late Marchionne.

The famous Scuderia Ferrari often makes its driver announcements at its home Grand Prix of Italy. But this year’s Monza weekend came and went with no indication from the team. But some days later came the statements that Leclerc would indeed graduate to Ferrari, and Raikkonen would move to Sauber where he began his Formula 1 career in 2001.

I worry about Leclerc making such a big jump so early in his career. So does Sauber Team Principal Frederic Vasseur who has known him for about 10 years, as Leclerc used to race for one of his karting teams.

“Moving from Sauber to Ferrari is a big step,” Vasseur told La Derniere Heure earlier this year. “We cannot predict what will happen, especially when it comes to drivers getting some money. In the last 20 years, there have been plenty of drivers who did very good first seasons in Formula 1. I will not give names, but as soon as they touched their first cheque they had trouble. They lost their roots because they discovered new things in life and lost a little bit of what they were doing.”

Max Verstappen proved that a youngster can make the leap to a big team, but then Red Bull is far more laidback than Ferrari where with the constant eyes of Italy, the worldwide Ferrari nation, and the ever-critical Italian media on the team means there is no place to hide.

Does Leclerc feel ready to race for Ferrari?

“It’s always very difficult to say whether I am ready or not because I’ve never experienced it,” he said in early September.

I’ve been impressed by Leclerc this year. But then I’ve also been impressed by Raikkonen’s resurgence. He turns 39 on October 17. Leclerc turns 21 on October 16. I believe that Raikkonen has one more good year in him and deserved another season with Ferrari. And Leclerc should have had another season of preparation in the low-key atmosphere at Sauber.

My advice to Ferrari would have been: Leave Raikkonen alone; he knows that he is doing. And leave Leclerc at Sauber.

And Ferrari’s response no doubt would be: Leave us alone, we know what we are doing.

the alpine foothills near Salzburg. Rain is not entirely unexpected at Silverstone. Rather the reverse.

But be clear on one thing. It was not rain that made the classic track unrideable, but total inability of the new surface to cope with it. The totteringly deferred postponement and ultimate cancellation was a matter of incompetence. On an epic scale.

Everybody knows it rains at Silverstone. You carry on regardless. Not for nothing are British fans the hardiest; not for nothing the years of experience in making racetracks. Not for nothing the many, many wet British GPs over the years.

So how was the circuit taken by surprise? The truth is even worse: there was no surprise. The flooding and bumps had already caused problems since the longest lap of the year was fully resurfaced at the start of this year. Silverstone management decided to ignore it; Dorna’s representatives failed to find out. Everybody thought it would be alright on the night.

It was not.This GP started out embarrassing.

The much-vaunted new asphalt was an instant disappointment. The consistent surface did improve on the patchwork it replaced. But it was consistently bumpy. If anything even bumpier than before, in whole new places, that couldn’t be blamed on the dreaded F1 syndrome.

Worse followed. In Saturday’s FP4, there was a very localised deluge on the furthest part of the track. The first such, after the long dry summer? Surely not. The result was shocking. The track’s drainage wasn’t inadequate. It was absent.

Six riders aquaplaned off at the end of the fast Hangar straight. One of them was badly hurt – Tito Rabat, with a shocking triple leg fracture after he’d fallen, just got to his feet, and was hit by another bike.

Now cancellation became a real possibility. If only they’d pulled the plug then, then 55,000 spectators would have been saved a dismal and expensive day in the damp and cold. If Dorna’s track homologation system had been up to snuff, it wouldn’t even have got that far.

On Sunday, as forecast, the rains came. Not particularly heavy, but persistent. And when the time came for the MotoGP race, switched with Moto3 to run first to avoid the expected weather – the track was unrideable. Even on the sighting laps, riders were

wheel-spinning and aquaplaning. The water pooled in the depressions, and formed great sheets “like a mirror” at several places.

There followed a farrago of postponements and rescheduling and slithery safety-car laps. The fans’ patience was tested to breaking point. Silverstone is still prevaricating about plans for refunds. We shall see.

Finally at 4pm, the axe fell.But it was not wielded by the

authorities, still hoping for the best. In fact the expected “weather window” did arrive, but too late. It was the riders who called an impromptu meeting (not all of them were even aware of it, with Dovizioso the most prominent absentee), and declared they would not race.

At least they’d managed a firm decision.

Was it the right one? Hard to say not; even if the tail did wag the dog. Now it was time to start apportioning blame.

Certainly Silverstone owners, the British Racing Drivers Club, managing director Stuart Pringle and resurfacing contractors Aggregate Industries had jointly accomplished a signal blemish on British motorsport. But Dorna’s rider safety delegate Loris Capirossi, and FIM safety officer Franco Uncini, should share the blame … for it is their responsibility to ensure that tracks are fit for use, and there had been several missed signals at problematic previous race meetings at the resurfaced Silverstone.

But the track must bear the brunt of it. How could a premier British racing venue commission a resurfacing so bad that one of its premier events is unable to go ahead? Just because it rained. As usual.

Contractors Aggregate Industries have a long history and an impressive portfolio. Their website boasts of “unsurpassed technical knowledge” – how can they have missed by so far? They laid a track with water-pooling hollows and shuddering bumps. Perhaps it was a matter of the track’s penny-pinching budget, perhaps just hubris, or perhaps extremes of unusual weather.

It’s still a disgrace.Earlier this year, F1 champ Lewis

Hamilton was unequivocal. “The people they hired did the worst job ever. It’s bumpier than the Nordschleife [Nürburgring], which is 100 years old.”

At least the F1 guys had a race. Maybe that’s all that matters to Silverstone?

than rival cars, as the basic production M1 sports car was being modified with wheel arch extensions to cover the wider racing wheels. The low-slung bodywork created the impression of great size. The production sports car was homologated into the current Group 4 regulations on 1st December 1980. The first appearance of the car in rallying was short, sidelined by suspension trouble, and the team then set about development work in time for the WRC debut of the car scheduled for the Tour de Corse in May 1982.

Compared with the racing Procar machines, the rally cars had better torque achieved by reducing the power from around 470bhp to 430. Good power was now available from 4,000rpm up to 9,000 and the weight was reduced from 1,275kg to 1,150kg. After a trial entry in the Rallye Dome-Forez, the car was sent to Corsica where the car had been lying fourth overall behind Ragnotti’s Renault 5 Turbo, Andruet’s Ferrari 308GTB and Bettega’s Lancia 037. An oil pipe then broke as a result of a gearbox mounting failure. Then there was another challenge. The French championship began to introduce some gravel stages. These the M1 could not handle, and after leading on the asphalt stages of the mixed surfaced 1982 Rallye du Mont Blanc, the car was withdrawn. The only time it finished that year was ninth place on the Volderpfalz Rally in Germany.

By the end of 1982, the international regulations were changing, the rules allowing Group 4 cars were cancelled and existing cars had to be converted into Group B specification. When the M1 was modified from Group 4 to Group B, the main difference was the compulsory reduced width of the tyres. This was a very restrictive factor. The car was now very quick in the rallies when the stages were no more than 15km but after that, drivers always had to worry about the tyres. At the beginning of any stage over 30km, they had to drive very smoothly from the beginning. Oreca’s original Group 4 rally car was then replaced by a Group B car in time for the 1983 Criterium Alpin-Behra in the south of France. This featured a stage of 70km. The team had to set up a service point in the middle of the stage to change the rear tyres. It was not possible for the car to make 70km without this!

At the end of 1984, the BMW France project came to an end. In its career over three seasons, M1s were recorded

as winning only two events, both second division French regional rallies in 1984 and the highest positions in French championship rallying were second places on the 1983 Lyon-Charbonnieres and the 1984 Rallye d’Antibes. Only two WRC events were entered, both in Corsica, the second time in 1983 ending with engine failure. The M1 was a rare sight in rallying, though occasionally an example would be acquired by privateers, notably on the occasion when the German privateer Klaus Fritzinger drove a private M1 into second place behind Harald Demuth’s Audi Quattro on the 1982 Volderpfalz.

There were two drivers employed to drive the M1 rally cars. The driver who had the greater experience of the M1 was Bernard Beguin who drove the car in 1983 and 1984. Bernard Darniche started in the programme in 1981 and continued through 1982, but the car was really difficult to drive. His back got so painful that he was not able to continue driving the car. Even nowadays Beguin is awed at the memory of the car. Recently he said, “I do not think there will ever be a rally car so extreme as the M1. It was an incredible time with cars like the Lancia 037, the Ferrari 308 and the M1, but they were dangerous days. At the time we were not thinking about driver security, we were just thinking that they were such fantastic cars to drive! The car was really fast because there was such a lot of torque. When you accelerated it was pushing you very strongly but the problem was that the car was very heavy and we had no real travel at all for suspension, and under the new Group B regulations we then had to use narrow wheels, too narrow for the power. The M1 was a really good memory but it was not a normal rally car. Driving the M1 was very good for my image.”

RALLY ART

“I DO NOT THINK THERE WILL

EVER BE A RALLY CAR SO EXTREME

AS THE M1”

The ’eighties were special times in rallying. There was novelty at almost every rally. One of the most amazing cars in rallying was the BMW M1. It first appeared on the Rallye du Var at the end of 1981

and was probably the most powerful normally aspirated rally car. The M1 had been prepared in racing car guise for use in the Procar series. This activity was conceived by BMW Motorsport chief Jochen Neerspasch as a Formula 1 support racing series and competed by guest Formula 1 drivers. Through the initiative of BMW France, two of these cars were acquired and sent to the Oreca preparation company to be prepared for national championship asphalt rallying.

The M1 had a mid-mounted in-line six cylinder 3.5 litre engine with twin overhead camshafts. The car was fractionally shorter but with a slightly longer wheelbase than the Audi Quattro. Its width however was nearly 20cm more

… is what the competitors at the India Baja had to be made of in order to get through the challenges of the event

We’ve read enough books and seen enough movies where the desert, with the sense of isolation and

trepidation that it sometimes conveys, takes centre stage. It becomes more than just a setting, turning into a plot device which plays on both the minds of the characters in the story as well as the audience. At the India Baja 2018 held last month in the deserts around Jaisalmer, a similar feeling seemed to engulf the event. Very few people said it out loud, but the bleak, featureless conditions seemed to play on everyone’s minds much more than just a physically

challenging bit of terrain should.The India Baja is held in the rally-

raid format which calls for competitors to traverse vast distances on off-road tracks in a condensed time frame. This year’s event saw participants cover over 650 km in two days across five special stages. They had to negotiate everything from dunes, loose sand, and gravel-strewn trails. Upping the difficulty level was the fact that the organisers decided to ban the use of GPS navigation systems. Modelled after the style of top-level international competitions like the Dakar Rally, competitors were only given coordinates of the start and end points of a stage, having to use roadbooks to find their way from one waypoint to another.

Clockwise from left:Lorenzo Santolino was the overall winner of India Baja 2018 with a time of3hr 38.46min, SS4 was 100 km long and covered loose sandy sections. Teams faced a new challenge with road book navigation being introduced for the first time


But the real athletes among us shine through in exactly these trying situations. And the India Baja 2018 seemed to have no dearth of this. Everyone, right from works outfits like TVS Racing and Hero Motosports, to privateers running their self-built Hero Impulses and Maruti Gypsys, were giving it all they could. For some, the challenge proved to be a bit too much. Asbak Mon from Team Angata racing was found dead after he and his teammates set out for some unofficial practice runs a day before the special stages began. His body was found the next day after a long overnight search and rescue operation in which both officials and fellow competitors took part. Dehydration is said to have got the better of the 34-year-old from Kochi once he got separated from his teammates.

This incident set a gloomy tone for the event even before it began. But two riders, both from the two-wheeler Moto category, shined through. The first of these and the winner in this category was Lorenzo Santolino. A tall, soft-spoken Spaniard of typically European build, Santolino represented the Sherco TVS Team Rally. Riding a TVS RTR 450 Rally, he was the quickest in the event with a cumulative timing of 3hr 38.46min. This

gets him direct entry to the 2020 Dakar Rally. The India Baja 2018 winner is also entitled to complimentary entry to the Afriquia Merzouga Rally.

This was Santolino’s second outing in India, he finished in second place in this year’s Desert Storm. The 31-year-old has had the very early start that is typical of top-level motorsport personalities. He started riding when he was three years old with a Yamaha PW50 and was competing in the Spanish Motocross Championship by the time he was eight. He started making a mark for himself with a win in the 2010 Enduro Junior World Championship and has since, consistently finished in the top 10 in the Enduro World Championship. This international level experience was imperative for the India Baja win, given the navigational challenges.

But it was wasn’t smooth sailing for Santolino throughout. He spoke of how the navigational systems mandated this year, brought the difficulty level right up to the standards he faces in Europe. The fewer way points also made the India Baja an exciting but challenging proposition for him.

This showed at the end of the Special Stage 4, the longest of the event

at 100 km and full of undulating trails and loose sandy sections, and where Hero Motosport’s CS Santosh was five minutes ahead of him. It is almost unfathomable that Santosh lost this event because he set off at an angle a few degrees off from where he should have. He was handed a 30-minute penalty in Special Stage 5 for missing a passage control. This let Santolino win by little more than five minutes.

But this result also shows how motorsport is almost always more than the sum of its parts, the timing sheets telling only the quantifiable part of the story. The results don’t account for Santosh playing a vital role in Asbak Mon’s search. He went out on his competition bike and stayed out until he found Mon himself. An experience such as this must have certainly played on his mind when the stages began and he couldn’t possibly have given his 100 per cent. A less telling factor is that he was piloting the Hero MotoSports Team Rally RR450, a full spec Dakar motorcycle considerably heavier than the Sherco-TVS bike.

At 34-years-old, Santosh is already one of India’s all-time rallying greats. He is the first Indian to have completed

Hero MotoSport’s CS Santosh second place finish in the

Moto class was bittersweet, not just because of rider error.

Santosh played a crucial role in the search for Asbak Mon,

who tragically lost his life after getting lost in the desert


the Dakar thrice, having his best finish in 2018 at 34th place. This is a massive achievement for someone who only started competing at 17. Even his Dakar finishes haven’t been easy to come by, with him having to deal with injury and failed machinery along the way. But in the time since it started, Santosh has won pretty much everything in the country right from dirt track to rally-raid events. His breakthrough win came at the 2012 Raid de Himalaya, which he says opened up wider avenues for him and took him to success in international events. His association with the Hero MotoSports team since 2016 has seen him make a mark in the international stage competing in international rally-raid events like the Merzouga, Aragon and Oilibya rallies. All of this experience seeped through, in Santosh’s India Baja outing. It also shows in the way man seems to carry himself and in his focussed but calculated demeanour.

While Santosh and Santolino seem to best define the skill, preparation and strength of character that an event such as the India Baja 2018 demands, but they are by no means the only entrants who showed these attributes. TVS Racing’s Harith Noah initially finished in third place in his first India Baja outing but dropped to fourth in the final standing after Abdul Wahid Tanveer’s time penalty was overturned. Ashish Raorane from Pune finished at the top of the privateers. He is a 36-year-old marine engineer who is now hell-bent on completing the Dakar as a privateer.

Seeing these competitors put in their best in these conditions, through the myriad of challenges and setbacks that they faced, one can’t help but think back and reconsider the whole idea of a desert setting getting the better of people. Maybe it’s also there to add more substance to a hero’s eventual success.

XTREME CATEGORY RESULTS

Alongside the two-wheeler Moto category, the India Baja 2018 also

saw spirited action in the four wheeler Xtreme category. This classification had everything from light Maruti Gypsys, to a few Grand Vitaras and even a V8-powered Nissan Patrol thrown in for good measure. However, debutant Arindam Sakia who was piloting a privately-run Polaris XP1000 with co-driver Jeevarathinam J, took top honours with a time of 5hr 8.48min across the five stages. Team Harjee Motorsport’s Himanshu Arora (co-driver Kunal Kashyap) with a timing of 5hr 38min, and Team Desert Raiders’ Narayan Balan (co-driver Chirag Thakur) with 5hr 39.8min came in second and third respectively.

Arindam Sakia won the Xtreme category in a Polaris XP1000. Event regular Himanshu Arora finished in second spot. Tanveer and Santosh flank Moto class winner Santolino

More options for motorsport newbies thanks to the Novice Cup that’s part of the 2018 championship

STARTER PACK


Enzo Ferrari once said, “Racing is a great mania to which one must sacrifice everything, without reticence, without hesitation.” This phrase evokes some

strong emotions which may seem like something of an exaggeration to a person who hasn’t been around racecar drivers or witnessed a motorsport event at close quarters. Until a few months ago, I didn’t think any differently either. But fast forward a few months and I can relate to this phrase almost wholeheartedly, having seen the grit, discipline and skill needed to compete in what can sometimes naively look like nothing more than cars running around in circles.

But how do racecar drivers build these attributes? I imagine very few are born with these qualities innately and most need all the help they can get to move up to a competitive standard. Training, fitness and focus all help, but a good competitive atmosphere is equally, if not most, important. The traditional route in motorsport is karting, a wings and slicks F1600-like machine, and then climbing up the single-seater ladder, or eventually rising through the sportscar or GT ranks. But what of newbie racers that have skipped karting entirely, as sometimes is the case in the domestic racing scene?

This is where the JK Tyre Novice Cup springs to mind. A new class introduced by JK Tyre Motorsport this year, this now sits below the Formula LGB4 class. Hari Singh, the director of operations of JK Tyre Motorsport, says the idea behind the series was to bridge the gap. The Novice Cup effectively brings back the older LGB F4 cars from 2004, which were eventually superceded by the current LGB4 and Euro JK 18 machines. But Singh says that the difference is not vast and a Novice Cup car with a well-tuned chassis can be as quick as the current LGB4 racecar. In the recently concluded Round 2 of the JKNRC, the top runners were roughly two seconds off the top-level LGB4 performers.

Specifications of the cars aside, what is interesting is the entry criteria for participants in these races. Competitors need to be 14 years and above, which opens this series up to several drivers

who want to come into motorsport, even if it is only at a domestic level. Naturally, drivers keen on racing abroad are more likely to have already taken the tried and tested karting route. Next comes the bit where the class embodies the ‘Novice” part of its name. Entrants must not have won any Formula, Saloon or Rally events. They must not have been in the top three championship positions in these disciplines. Further, they should not have participated in more than 10 races in the JKNRC in any year. These rules clearly show the intent behind the series and its aim of providing a platform for newer and younger drivers. Cutting one’s teeth against a grid of more experienced, more competitive drivers in a series like the Euro 18 is naturally impossible. One might even go so far as to say that this novice class caters to the weekend racer, with no professional motorsport goals, but a penchant for speed and racing lines.

Speaking to a few participants in the Novice Cup, the series seems to have got the first thing right and attracted the right set of people to compete in it. Siddharth Mehdiratta, who is at the top of the Novice Cup championship at the end of the first round, fits the bill perfectly. Previously, a national-level tennis player who caught the racing bug when he attended a few informal racing events in the UK while studying photography, he has now shown promise this season. He is also competing in the Ameo Cup and is currently in second position in the junior class. But his intent and clarity of how far he wants to go within motorsport, stands out. He plans to race in the MRF F1300 races and eventually the MRF F1600s and Euro JK 18 categories in the coming years. He says the Novice Cup’s short duration and competitiveness make it an ideal starting point for him. This also ties in well with the simulator sessions he puts in to hone his skills.

Then there is Tijil Rao’s story. A 15-year-old school student born with a disability, he never let this get in the way of his dreams. He already seems to have that calm, calculated demeanour, so often found in racing drivers, and very clearly explained why he thought the Novice Cup was a big step up for him. He has had some karting experience and


SUZUKI GIXXER CUPJoseph Mathew cemented his dominance over the Gixxer Cup in this round. In the first race, he started in third place but managed to cross the line in the top spot but not before second placed Syed Muzamil Ali kept him honest right up to the final stretch. Mathew made it four out of four this season in the second race. Syed Muzammil Ali and Malasawmdawnglama took the other two places on the podium. In the Redbull Road to Rookies event held alongside, Aizawl’s Jerome Vanlalrengpuia posted the fastest times over the two rounds. This earns him a spot on the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup qualifiers in Spain, in October.

EURO JK 18The Euro JK 18 lived up to its top billing with intense competition throughout Round 2 for the top spot in the championship. The races started with Nayan Chatterjee setting the fastest time in the qualifiers. Chatterjee carried this good run throughout the first day, winning two hotly contested races. Karthik Tharani and Ashwin Datta finished in second and third place respectively in both races. This put the championship in a tantalising state with Tharani and Chatterjee joint leaders. But it was Chennai’s Ashwin Datta who drew first blood in what is turning out to be a closely fought three-way battle for the title. Datta was tied for the top spot with Nayan Chatterjee and Karthik Tharani, all with 43 points at the end of the third race of the weekend. The final race saw Brayan Perera win with Ashwin Datta in second and Chatterjee third. Datta now leads with 50 points, followed by Chatterjee at 49 and Tharani at 48.


finds the Novice Cup cars challenging enough to move away from that. He is also driving the MRF1300s and finds that series also provides him with similar exposure. Both him and Siddharth eventually hope this series will serve them well in preparation for single-seater competition like the F1600s and the Euro JK 18. Mehdiratta will compete in the MRF 1300s next year while Rao is already in that series this year. Both eventually hope to make it to F3 in the UK, although that seems like a rather lofty goal.

Henna Jayanth, in contrast, found her way to the Novice Cup in entirely different circumstances. She runs a travel agency in Calicut and found out about this competition, in true 21st-century tradition, over an extended Instagram session. She has had no racing experience prior to this and just decided to sign up for this on a whim. Invariably, the Novice Cup has done different things for her. It has been a platform to learn the basics of competitive driving, get acclimated to racing as a sport and also build a network around this new interest. She finds the competition fierce but seems to be eager to take up the challenge.

Her background as a former national level cricket player helps in this spirit. She says she is considering taking this up as a full-time exercise if she can improve her skill level quickly enough and find a way around that scourge of motorsport funding.

All three drivers weren’t just gifted these seats either. They had to go through intensive sessions in testing and also underwent training to close the skill deficit. The teams looked at their pace, their ability to learn and how well they understood race rules and safety protocol.

All of this paints a rosy picture for the Novice Cup. But the series will have to make a place for itself. At present, the racing has been marred with incidents and a large section of the grid has not made it to the finish line in the races held so far. There is also the concern that the Novice Cup will have to work harder to differentiate itself from the Formula LGB4s and the MRF 1300s.

But there seems to be no end to the passion that the participants in the Novice Cup have shown over the last few races, and if you like romanticising motorsport, that has to count for something, right?

FORMULA LGB4Vishnu Prasad stood out in the Formula LGB4 races. He was well ahead of the pack, picking up ten points in the championship by winning the first two races. He finished an impressive 2.323 seconds ahead of the field in the first race. In Race 3, he started in seventh place with the reverse grid format, but worked his way up to first quickly enough. Race 4 was hotly contested with Raghul Ramasamy finishing first, followed by Prasad in second and Rohit Khanna, who took third.

The Novice Cup is a new class which bridged the gap between karting and Formula 4. Siddharth Mehdiratta is at

top of the standings with 16 points at the end of the first round of races. Henna Jayanth is one of two women

drivers on the Novice Cup grid

DAKAR PREP UNDERWAY AS SHERCO TVS RIDER MICHAEL METGE WINS 2018 PANAFRICA RALLYCS Santosh takes a top-15 finish for Hero MotoSports at the Inca Rally

With the Dakar 2019 fast approaching, the Indian contingents that are set to compete in the event

are working hard on preparation. This involves competing in events like the Panafrica Rally and the Peru Desafio Inca Rally. The Sherco TVS Factory Rally Team had a good showing at the Panafrica Rally, with their rider Michael Metge winning the event. His brother, Adrien Metge, who led the rally on the first and third days of the event, managed to recover from a few navigational errors to finish third at the event. Also putting in a solid performance at the event was TVS Racing's Abdul Wahid Tanveer, who managed to end the rally eighth overall. The Indian rider also took home top honours in the event's Enduro class. It was unfortunate that KP Aravind

failed to finish the event, after having suffered a fall that injured his wrist on the prologue stage. The only Indian privateer competing in the Panafrica Rally, Ashish Raorane ended his first international rally 18th overall. This put him eighth in the Enduro class of the event. The Hero MotoSports Team Rally outfit had a tough outing in Peru at the Inca Rally, with only CS Santosh managing to break into the top 15 at the event. Santosh ended up 14th in the rally. His teammates Joaquim Rodrigues and Oriol Mena ended the rally in 28th and 30th position overall. Given that the 2019 Dakar will be held entirely in Peru, this rally gave the team some valuable experience on the tough terrain that awaits them early next year. The riders and teams will now spend the next three months training for the biggest cross country rally raid that they compete in.

Raghul Rangasamy clinches MRF F1600 National Championship titleAshish Ramaswamy wins Indian Touring Car Championship

Raghul Rangasamy rounded off a terrific season of racing with two championship titles at the end of the 2018 MRF MMSC FMSCI

National Racing Championship. Rangasamy, who won the Super Stock and Formula LGB1300 titles in 2017, and also finished runner-up in last year's F1600 championship, managed to clinch the title in the 2018 Esteem Cup. Rangasamy then managed to win the coveted MRF F1600 championship title, the country's premier single-seater racing title. His Performance Racing

teammate Srinivas Teja clinched the 2018 Super Stock title. Rangasamy will now represent India at the Mazda Road to Indy shootout in the USA later this year. This year's Formula LGB 1300 championship title was won by 17-year old Sohil Shah, in his debut season of racing. The battle for the Indian Touring Car (ITC) Championship went down to the wire, as was expected. The title was hotly contested between Arjun Balu, veteran racer and rally driver, and Ashish Ramaswamy. However, despite the fact that Balu managed two wins over the course of the weekend, the

championship title went to Ramaswamy, who managed consecutive podium finishes, and took the crown with just six points over his rival. Had it not been for the fact that Balu missed the first round of the championship, things might have turned out slightly differently. In the Indian Junior Touring Car category, Prabhu AS took home the championship title. The final two races in the new Turbo class were also held over the course of the weekend. Both races were won by Karthik Tharani in a Volkswagen Vento TC4A, ahead of Rayomand Banajee and Ishaan Dodhiwala.

When I first started riding, 80kmph felt bloody fast. Today, two decades later, I’m at peace at 130 on an open

road and my speed-fears do not kick in when I brake from 240kmph or more at a racetrack. This isn’t because I drink Red Bull or have heaps of Bournvita every day. It’s because like all of you, I also have the ability to recognise something new, then deal with it, then get used to it and finally incorporate it into our new normal. Some of us are better at adapting and others take more time, but human beings, can get used to anything. And on a motorcycle, that is a potential problem.

I noticed this today when I was riding to work when two things happened. Two chaps on a KTM pulled into the road from a gap in the divider. They appeared to check traffic over their shoulder and pull ahead. But three cars had to brake to avoid hitting them. Moments later, I also noticed myself doing something similar — I checked over my shoulder which is a physical movement. But I didn’t lift my eyes up to look at traffic, my brain was already opening the throttle assuming that since I overtook someone, the space beside and behind will be free. Bam! I’ve been desensitised into making virtual lifesaver checks that don’t actually work. I’m going through the motions of being a safe rider, but I’m not actually using those actions.

This is normal human behaviour though. If you pass a sleeping lion daily on your commute, eventually, your sense of the seriousness of the hazard diminishes. Eventually, you’ll stop noticing the lion entirely. In the same way, if you often ride

too close to vehicles, your brain gets used to the sense of danger in time and it becomes your new normal. Unfortunately, as we’ve talked about in the past, riding close to vehicles is asking for blocked sightlines, no reaction times and eventually, a pointless, avoidable crash.

I also realised that because we get to drive and ride a series of vehicles of different performance levels, our speed sense gets reset quite a bit and the danger of being desensitised to speed is relatively low. But we do spend more time in traffic than most people, and that increases our risk of taking traffic for granted.

The solution is, actually, pretty simple. Today, after my realisation, I consciously talked to myself when I made lifesaver checks. I spoke, “Look at traffic, look for traffic” every time I turned my head, until I noticed that my eyes were up when I looked back, rather than down. It also needs you to think about how you ride more consciously. And that, friends, is the essence of riding well — the ability to ride and then think about how to do it better.

This is a repetitive process. You have to be aware of

what’s important and whether you’re actively doing or passively doing

those important parts

TATA NEXON 1.5 REVOTORQ XZ+

The sliding cover for the storage under the central arm rest facilitates leaving valuables behind, but the cover slides from the back towards the front, which makes it slightly inconvenient. The USB port is nestled in a narrow, deep cavity making it difficult to reach into. I love the glove box! It is illuminated, has a pen holder, two cup holders and a pocket for toll slips, also, don’t miss the Tiger!

WRAP-UP


Removing muck from the honeycomb grille is a task, unless using a pressure wash jet. Cleverly integrated umbrella holders in the front doors were a boon in the monsoon

After a short, but uber-hectic tenure of just four months, our long term Nexon is headed back to Tata Motors. In fact, I don’t think any of the cars in

our long term fleet currently, have racked up as many kilometres as the Nexon has in the past few months, 7,500km to be precise. That’s an average of nearly 2,000km per month! Apart from serving as my weekend ride to Pune and continuing to be the favourite support car for shoots, the Nexon was also part of our mega-SUV test last month, for which it was driven all the way to Chikmagalur and back. As you would have read in our September issue, the Nexon impressed immensely in some of the toughest conditions and unsurprisingly, its engine was the star performer.

The 1.5 Revotorq engine’s outputs of 110PS and 260Nm are the highest in its segment, at least as far as the diesels are concerned. The engine is also very refined and is barely audible even at triple digit speeds. What has impressed the most though is the power delivery and performance, especially in Sport mode. Just to remind you, the Nexon comes equipped with Sport, City and Eco driving modes. Sport expectedly offers the full wealth and is the mode I’ve found myself using on most occasions, particularly when hurtling across the Pune-Mumbai Expressway in a rush. In fact, staying ahead of bigger and more powerful cars on the highway has never been a problem.

That said when not in a tearing rush, I do like to use Eco mode which drops the power output to a far more modest 70PS. Even then the Nexon doesn’t feel particularly sluggish, with enough shove to cruise just above the 100kmph mark. The biggest advantage of course is the excellent fuel efficiency, as the Nexon has no trouble returning over 20kmpl when driven in Eco mode with a light right foot. That is a huge incentive to not turn the selector knob to Sport, despite how addictive the performance is, especially the midrange.

Prior to the last service, the intercooler hose had gotten loose which made for a swooshing sound every time the turbocharger spooled up though there was no loss in performance. The issue was taken care of in service, though gear changes continue to feel notchy especially when driving enthusiastically around twisties, where gear changes are frequent. Another issue addressed at the service station was the central locking system’s alarm going off even when seated inside the car, with the key fob in my pocket.

In my last update, I’d also lamented about the Nexon only getting Android Auto and not Apple CarPlay, which Tata

Motors has clearly paid heed to, and thanks to an update our Nexon now has CarPlay connectivity! The update has also helped get rid of one more irritating issue. Earlier the bass, treble and mid settings would go for a toss every time the car was turned off. That doesn’t happen anymore and the JBL-sourced music system makes for a crisp sound quality, always.

And once its gone, I will also miss its compactness and the agility with which it can be driven even in the city, or parked in tight spots - I do wish the resolution of the reverse camera was higher. Admittedly though, throughout its tenure with me, the Nexon’s 209mm ground clearance and excellent ride quality have outshone all its highlights. The combination of its ground clearance, well-tuned suspension and 16-inch, 215-section tyres with tall sidewalls make the Nexon seriously good for our driving conditions. Tackling Mumbai’s crater-like roads was hence never an issue throughout the monsoons. Where other cars would slow down to a crawl on potholed sections, I would glide past with a little smile on my face. The excellent grip from the tyres also gave lots of confidence even in pouring rain. I rarely remember having to slow down owing to lack of grip, while the suspension egged me to go faster on open roads. The suspension has almost never bottomed out even when hitting ruts at speeds, while the planted feel along with the sense of comfort is truly impressive. The Nexon then is a great example of how well Tata Motors’ engineering has progressed and how well the manufacturer has understood Indian driving conditions. A little ironing out is needed overall, but the Nexon is pretty well-packaged. Little surprise then, there’s more than 25,000 Nexons on the road already.

2018 YAMAHA YZF-R15

Y amaha India launched the first version of YZF-R15 about a decade ago, a true supersport that brought an interesting and involving flavour for a

maturing market. I have fond memories of riding that motorcycle, so it goes without saying that I was very excited when I was handed the key to the R15 Version 3.0.

To me, the YZF-R6/R1 inspired design is what made the bike appeal to me, after all, as a photographer, good design always catches my eye. In fact, I’d go as far as labelling the new motorcycle as the most proportionate looking YZF-R15 to date and probably the best looking as well.

After riding the super smooth Yamaha FZ25 as my daily commute to office, I

was eager to see how the YZF-R15 would perform and initial impressions are very good. My route to office is a mix of open highways and traffic infested streets. On the open roads, the bike feels planted which goes a long way in boosting confidence. I also love the brakes that offer good bite. This along with the Metzeler rear on our test bike ensures that I have a big smile on my face, astride the R15. In fact, the R15 has become my happy place and I have some elaborate plans for the bike, during its tenure in the OD garage. But first, it’s time to take the bike to the ghats on a weekend. Things are certainly looking good.

INTRODUCTION


RENAULT CAPTUR

The refined and responsive engine is a big plus. I wish the infotainment system has a better user interface

A fter clocking close to 900 odd kilometres on the Renault Captur, I have begun to appreciate the practicality it offers. The first and foremost

thing that I’d like to mention is the suspension setup. It is brilliant, given the current, monsoon ravaged road conditions. While people in their fancy sedans slow to a crawl, I simply glide past them. The other aspect about the suspension setup that I love is that there’s barely any body movement while driving over bumps and undulations. This is why, the Captur in my books, makes for an excellent tracking car. I’m also impressed with the cavernous boot space that gobbles up all my camera gear and lighting equipment.

So far, I’ve been commuting to office in the Captur and it is a stress-free, daily driver, barring the first few days it took me to get used to the size of the car. I’ve also managed to squeeze in a few highway runs to my house in Pune and it’s here where I’ve grown fond of the refined and responsive engine. Also, the cruise control is a big boon on days when I’d want to just relax and drive.

The one thing that I think could have been improved is the entertainment interface. It looks very primitive and not so user-friendly. Other than that it’s a perfect do-it-all urban and highway vehicle and I don’t think I’m letting go of it anytime soon.

JEEP COMPASS 4X4 LIMITED

After talking about the performance of the tyres last month, I had tipped that the next report will document my notes on the infotainment,

seating comfort and the touring capabilities. Pardon me, but I’m going to postpone it for the next report. For before I went out on that tour, I had to get the scheduled service done for the Compass and the experience needs to be talked about.

Primarily because Fiat has had a legacy of service issues and that is one of the primary concerns for anyone looking at buying into the Italian marquee or any of its related brands/sub-brands. Having owned many Fiats from the Padmini era to the now-defunct Palio S10, I have had a first-hand experience (and a rather unpleasant one) dealing with service centres by PAL, Fiat, and even Tata.

But walking into Landmark-FCA’s service centre (in Andheri, Mumbai) immediately felt different. The service floor was clean, the bays were properly organised and the servicemen seemed pretty enthusiastic about the job at hand. I had to find my way to the lounge through a crowd to Jeeps. In fact, the premise and the service floor was overflowing with cars and while that felt unorganised at first, I got my answer within moments of being seated at the customer lounge.

Landmark is known to be one of the best

service centres for FCA in this part of the state and so it attracts cars even from other smaller cities and areas outside of Mumbai. But the outstation customers that I met seemed pretty satisfied and happy and I particularly remember a gentleman who was elated that his decade-old Linea was being given the same premium treatment as the Jeeps. To restore faith, the service centre has even listed direct phone lines and e-mail IDs of all FCA heads concerned with service and I was told by a customer that calling them, if at all, never falls on deaf ears and the issues are in fact, addressed immediately.

The issues on the Compass were pretty simple in nature - a routine service, which cost around `9,900; a bulge in the tyre, which was replaced by a brand new Firestone Destination LE2 worth `11,500; and a clogged air-filter that cost `730 to replace - all of which was done in four hours. The experience was on par with some of the more premium brands. I wished the customer lounge had more plug points though, and I was hoping for a stronger Italian cappuccino than a bland machine coffee - but I certainly loved the Jeep mug it was served in. So much, that I wanted to buy one off, but this `1,499 accessory wasn’t in stock. Maybe next time — which is 15,000km away.

Remember ERS, or energy recovery systems? What those are to an engine, seamless shifts are to a gearbox. The name implies

the ability to change gears without allowing the driven wheel to feel any interruption in the flow of torque, something we accept as normal from conventional gearboxes.

As we said last issue, the automated manual transmission, or AMT, is popular because it combines all the great attributes of a manual gearbox with the convenience of an automatic. But AMTs also have the issue of jerking the vehicle’s passengers a bit in every gearchange. It comes from the momentary gap in acceleration as the automatic clutch breaks the flow of torque - zero acceleration - to make the gearchange.

Human beings adapt and we can learn to live with the headnods that come with the gearchanges. But we always try to do better, right?

The current best gearchange tech is Syncromesh - once the clutch is engaged, a dog ring (a ring with pegs, that’s splined on the gearbox input shaft) slides out to disengage from slots for those pegs (aka dogs) on the running gear’s cog. So the dog ring has to move on to the next dog on the next gear you’ve asked, and then the clutch is disengaged so that

drive can resume.During this time, while the clutch

was engaged, the engine continues to convert perfectly good fossil fuel into smoke and heat. Look at the actual amount of fuel wasted. An average fast gearchange is about half a second, normal humans might take a second or two. But when you consider how often we’re crawling in traffic and shifting between first, second and neutral, the wasted fuel adds up.

Seamless shifting is possible already, of course. Torque convertors and CVTs (continuously variable transmission) already offer seamless shifts using planetary gears or step-less gearing, respectively. But these complex solutions target smoothness over efficiency, they’re slow, and expensive.

The dual clutch gearbox uses two clutches so that two gears can be in use at the same time, one primed for use and one actually driving the car. The switch from one clutch to another happens so swiftly and smoothly that the change of ratio is seamless. Again, a complex solution, expensive, and heavier than conventional gearboxes.

An ideal seamless shift gearbox, then, should be as simple as a manual, as fast as a dual clutch, as smooth as a CVT or torque converter at the price of an AMT. We want our cake, we want to eat it and

then be able to take the whole cake home also. Possible? Now, yes. A company called Zeroshift says it’s done it.

The idea is simple. Think of a two-speed gearbox (pictured), first gear on the left and second gear on the right - the cogs. In the middle, the seamless shift magic replaces syncromesh. It uses a central ring with shaped nubs that is splined on to the gearbox shaft. In red and blue are the two shift selection rings that are controlled by your gear shift selector. These rings have ‘lugs’ that Zeroshift likes to call bullets that do all the work. Notice that one side is flat and the other is oblique. That allows each ring to work sort of like a ratchet.

So when you’re in first, the red ring is engaged fully, the flat surfaces on the bullets drive the gearbox shaft positively. The blue ring sort of coasts. There is spring pressure on the blue bullets but it achieves nothing, and wastes very little energy. When you select second gear, you move the blue ring inwards, pushing the bullets forward. It takes just a moment before the straight face of the blue bullets starts driving the second gear cog (and then the gearbox shaft). The first cog, thanks to the oblique face on the bullet can continue to spin at its original speed but drive is now through the second gear.

To the driver, there isn’t any delay or gap in the torque since the engagement is instant and the unselected gear - still spinning at its original speed - doesn’t affect the driven wheel in any way. There is the potential for some jerks to come from the bullets working, but computer controlled gear management takes care of this. Zeroshift claims that these gearboxes are simple, reliable and faster than any automatic currently in production. And since they’re a single-clutch design, they’ll be cheaper and lighter as well.

Proven technology? This is the Aprilia MotoGP team’s gearbox of choice since 2015 ,while Honda and Yamaha both developed their own versions too. How fast is this? MotoGP reporters analysing the sounds of the engines report that the Honda gearbox, for instance, can change gears within 0.09 seconds which is essentially seamless to the rider. The advantage? You can change gear almost anywhere at the racetrack you like, including at full lean because torque flow to the rear wheel is, wait for it, seamless.

Could it be the best? It is the very best, I’d say after three months of trying to find a chink in the Daytona’s armour. The TransOpen GTX,

a tall leather boot with the full complement of protective bits and a two-year waterproofing guarantee for its Gore-Tex membrane is the best adv boot I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing. It’s made of thick leather and has a unique construction. The shin protection is hidden inside a tall panel that goes almost all the way to you knee. Twin curved zippers under

twin leather flaps - this is complex and you have to learn this - open to drop this panel completely forward and out. So getting your feet in and out is super easy. At the back is a simple but comprehensive calf volume adjustment too. The footbed has a steel shank and the inner materials make your feet feel like it’s in a spa most of the time. I’ve found this boot to be super comfortable when walking and absolutely tremendous on the bike too. And I’ve failed, absolutely failed, to get as much as a drop of water into the boot. And extracted dry, non-sweaty feel from it after long rides too.

In short, unless you don’t like the styling, this is the shizz, as the youngsters like to say. Daytona makes the boots by hand in Germany and the TransOpen GTX feels like it’s built to last and built to perform. It makes every other adv boot I’ve ever seen or tested, look cheap. So, they are expensive, no doubt. But if you’re the type to research hard, buy expensive, buy once and then use the living daylight’s out of your kit, this is your boot.

BOSE SOUNDLINK REVOLVE+

Bose is known to make remarkable Bluetooth speakers and the new SoundLink Revolve Series is no exception. The Revolve, as the

name suggests, offers a 360 degree sound effect with louder volume and better battery life than Bose’s previous speakers, like the SoundLink Mini II. We got the top spec, SoundLink Revolve+ and put it to test in areas one wouldn’t even imagine.

Design and buildThe cylindrical shape of the Revolve+ and the integrated handle reminds you of a lantern. It may seem like the speaker weighs a ton but that’s not the case, thanks to the aluminium chassis.

In a sea of square or oval Bluetooth speakers, the Bose Revolve+ does stand out and that’s something that I liked. There’s a choice of two finishes: Luxe Silver and Triple Black.

You’ll find controls for Bluetooth pairing, power, volume up, volume down and to pause music on the top of the speaker. There’s also a multifunction button to connect with Apple’ Siri or Google Assistant.

At the bottom, there’s a rubberised base and four metal contact points to charge the speaker using the optional charging dock that’s sold separately. At the back of the speaker, you’ll find a microUSB port and a 3.5mm AUX jack for those who prefer listening to music the old school way. I did wish Bose had provided a Type-C port for quicker charging.

The cylindrical shape is a welcome departure from the common, square or rectangular shaped Bluetooth speakers in the market. The handle makes it easy to carry the speaker around


OXFORD QUEBEC 1.0 MS LONG JACKET

The Quebec is an adventure touring jacket that’s useable in all seasons. A spacer mesh in the collar makes the whole jacket breathable while Oxford’s

PerformanceThe Revolve+ speakers give out crisp and detailed sound with a sweet treble and mid-range. The bass is healthy and full and can be reinforced by keeping the Revolve+ closer to a wall. The 360-degree sound is really impressive, without any noticeable dead spots as you walk around, In fact, the Revolve+ is loud enough to fill a medium sized room. We also tested the speakers in the damp forests of Chikmagalur as well as the cold and arid Ladakh during the Independence Quattro Drive. Out in the open, there was no drop in sound quality and the volume level was more than enough for a group of people huddled around a bonfire.

The impressive battery claims proved justified, with the speaker running out of juice after 14 hours of non-stop playback. Battery charge retention at standby is excellent, and even the cold environs of Ladakh barely brought the charge level down by one or two per cent when stored for four days.

VerdictThe Bose SoundLink Revolve+ is a great speaker, albeit expensive but justifiably so. It may not have a smart assistant built-in for voice controls, like some of the competition, but it makes up for that with clear sound, rich bass and superb battery life.

DOWNSIZINGI want to replace my Ciaz petrol with a smaller vehicle for city use. I’m looking at the Ford EcoSport and the Honda WR-V. What would you recommend if I cap my budget at `10 lakh?Prakash Kamalia

Both are excellent choices and you wouldn’t go wrong with either one. However, if a roomy rear seat is an important criteria for you, then the WR-V makes for a better buy. We would recommend stretching your budget though and settling for the Titanium or VX trims of the EcoSport or WR-V respectively, for a feature set comparable to your Ciaz.

PREMIUM CHOICEI’m a regular follower of OVERDRIVE and I would like to take your opinion to choose between the VW Polo Pace and Elite i20 Magna. Which car would you recommend amongst these or within the segment, if reliability and low maintenance are my primary criteria?Pavan

We would recommend the Elite i20 over the Polo Pace. Not only does the i20 offer a more eager powertrain, but it has a roomier cabin and a supple ride. Given the low acceptance of the 1.0l engined Polo in India, you are likely to have a more peaceful service experience with the i20 in the long run. From the same point of view, you could also consider the Swift. It has a peppy engine, is feature rich and is a popular choice.

FANCY CLOCKSI would like to know if Ford is going to upgrade the instrumentation of the EcoSport to the more modern cluster that is being used in the Ecoboost S variant? Considering that the existing instrument cluster in the petrol auto is dated and bland, this upgrade will help make this model almost perfect.Yohann Irani

We agree with you Yohann! But the EcoSport recently got an update and we doubt if your wish will be granted anytime soon. Carmakers often tend to keep some of the best features exclusive for the top-end trim and in this case, the EcoBoost variant will need all the boost it can get from the feature set to translate into healthy sales figures despite the perceived deficit of the engine capacity.

SPACE IS IMPORTANTI like the new Mahindra Marazzo but after test driving it, I’m wondering if I should buy the BR-V instead. What is your opinion if longevity and road trip worthiness are my primary requirements? We are a family of six.Shaman Seth

Shaman, the Marazzo is fairly new and is based on new underpinnings and powertrain. Therefore, we can’t comment on the car’s longevity or reliability, yet. The BR-V, on the other hand, has a proven engine under the hood and its rugged build has us believe that it will be better suited for going touring on our roads. Needless to say, we would recommend taking a test drive with the entire family to understand which of the two cars fits you best.

SLOW DOWNI want better braking from my FZ25 and am thinking of replacing the rubber brake hoses with the steel braided ones. Will it be enough to improve the braking or will I have to upgrade the brake pads or fluid?Hemant Kumar

I don’t think the FZ has an endemic braking issue that needs just a solution to be honest. I suggest you start cheap. Get new pads. That should do it. If not, replace fluid. And if even that doesn’t work, braided lines.

Better Interiors offers well-researched and unbiased content, aptly supported by spectacular visuals. From industry news, to the latest project and product information from the architecture, interior design and home decor segments... you’ll find it all here!

MAKE MODEL VARIANTThe full name of the car or motorcycle you’re looking at, along with the variant name. The entire table is sorted in ascending order of price so you can pick a budget and go nuts

EX-MUMBAI (`)This is the price that a Mumbai dealer will charge you before adding insurance and any local taxes. Actual price when quoted by the dealer can vary by a few rupees here and there

EX-DELHI (`)This is the price that a Delhi dealer will charge you before adding insurance and any local taxes. Actual price when quoted by the dealer can vary by a few rupees here and there

BODY TYPEApplicable to cars, this tells you what kind of an automobile it is. Hatches are good for

cities, sedans for airport runs and vans aren’t fun to drive but practical. SUVs are a hit in India, of course

FUEL TYPEWhat goes in the tank, simply put. Correlate with the economy information in the Guide to get a sense of how expensive it will be to drive around. Note: All bikes are currently petrol-powered

ENGINE DISPLACEMENT (CC)How big is the engine in cubic centimetres. Bigger engines have more power and make good highway vehicles but can sometimes (but not always) also mean lower economy figures

POWER (PS)How much power the engine makes. This number is considered important but really isn’t for daily use. Power is for fast running and fl at out performance, neither of which we use all the time

TORQUE (NM)How much torque the engine makes. This shows you how much pulling power/acceleration and driveabliity the car has. This is hugely important if you like driving and have a lot of in-city trips

TRANSMISSIONHow power reaches the wheels. Used to be automatics were less e cient and wasted power but the tables have turned. Manuals are awesome but sometimes automatics are better

TOP SPEED (KMPH)If you had a very long, totally empty road and basically floored it and waited for the speed to build, this is how fast the car or bike would go. In most cases, these are our test figures not claims

0-100 OR 0-60 (KMPH)OVERDRIVE’s testers work hard to extract authoritative acceleration

information. Tells you how fast you’ll be o the lights and is a great measure of the engine-transmission combination

CITY (KMPL)In all cases, a city economy figure is measured by OVERDRIVE testers who rigorously run cars and motorcycles in the city cycle to produce directly comparable city economy figures

HIGHWAY (KMPL)In all cases, a highway economy figure is measured by OVERDRIVE testers who rigorously run cars and motorcycles on our highway cycle to produce directly comparable city economy fi gures

CLAIMED ECONOMY (KMPL)This is the figure that the manufacturers claim as overall economy for their product. In most cases now, this is the ARAI-certified figure that you’ll also see in the showroom

BOOT SPACE (L)Only applicable to cars, this is the volume of the boot measured in litres. Beware though that the shape of the boot can sometimes compromise its actual utility - read the full road test to be sure

ABSWe believe ABS is a critical part of the safety equipment and for both cars and motorcycles, we’ve chosen to explicitly display whether or not you have this vital piece of safety tech or not

TCTraction control allows still more electronic control over the car in slippery situations. Not available in the cheaper cars (or bikes), it is becoming more common

ESPElectronic Stability Programme is the big daddy of computerised vehicle dynamics safety controls

and is currently the holy grail of safety technology

AIRBAGSThey’ve saved countless lives and we expect the new motor vehicle laws to make them mandatory. Here, the list is the number of airbags. One means driver and two usually means front row

POWER WINDOWS (F/R)Does the vehicle have them or not. Simple

USB/AUXThis is how you connect your music to your car. Usually also a good indicator of how powerful and feature-packed your car’s music system is likely to be

REAR AIRCONWe like to sit in the rear row and be driven. This is a simple indicator of whether you get your own cooling or your chau eur is likely to be cooler than you
