Speaking on the occasion, Pankaj Dubey, Managing Director and Country Head, Polaris India Private Limited said, “This victory in India Baja 2018 is a matter of great pride for Polaris. The rally is a test of endurance even for the most experienced competitors as it requires time to adjust to the desert. Polaris has a strong focus on motorsports in India and the leading event like India Baja forms a powerful platform for us, to showcase the endurance and power of our range of vehicles.

Being a mountain rallyist, it was a challenging experience driving in the Thar Desert for the first time. The terrain of India Baja was challenging and exciting at the same time. Thanks to the rugged Polaris Sportsman ATV which had a sharp handling capability with good rough-terrain stability, made it easier to finish this grueling rally giving tough competition to the fellow rallyists,” said Taufeeq Mughal.
