Mahindra Great Escape Concludes In Sakleshpur
The 164th edition of the Mahindra Great Escape has concluded successfully in Sakleshpur with over 80 plus 4x4 vehicles from the Mahindra stable maneuvering the challenging route. The event received an overwhelming response from the off-roading community with Mahindra vehicle owners from Sakleshpur, Bangalore and other neighboring areas participating in the rally.
The two-day event saw participation by vehicles like Thar 4x4 and Mahindra heritage vehicles. These Mahindra SUVs negotiated arduous terrains and en route, the convoy of vehicles passed through river beds and unexplored trails.
The Mahindra Great Escape under the Mahindra Adventure umbrella brand continues to live up to its promise of encouraging the off-roading culture and demonstrating the tough & rugged DNA of Mahindra vehicles. Day one of this 2- day Great Escape witnessed a regular non-competitive Trail Drive around the hilly and slushy terrains of Sakleshpur. The second day saw participants exhibit their driving skills by negotiating various obstacles and edging each other out in a fierce competition. The trail drive allowed the customers to experience the off-road capabilities of their Mahindra vehicles, on a terrain prudently chalked out by the Mahindra Adventure team. This was followed by the Off-road Trophy rounds on day two.
Bopaiah K.M won the Modified category, Sudin S Rai finished first in the stock category and Sapna Gurukar was the winner of the ladies category.
The winners of the Sakleshpur Off-Roading Trophy Round are set to compete against the winners from other Great Escapes at the grand finale which will be held at the Mahindra Adventure Off-Road Training Academy, in Igatpuri next year. The winners, in turn, will stand a chance to win a new Thar CRDe.
