JUST as the teams and drivers assembled at the dais of the Sopo Tamaro hall on Friday for the ceremonial start of the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship, the mention of the one person's name led to a huge cheer — Gaurav Gill. The 43-year-old Indian is a three-time APRC winner and is now on a quest to establish his authority in the Sumatera Utara International Rally and win his fourth title. A well-established figure and a favourite going into the event, Gill is as excited as he was when he tried to drive his uncle Upkar Gill's car — when Upkar and Hari Singh, former rally drivers, had stepped out of the house — as a teenager. From that moment on, motorsport has been Gill's first and long-lasting love.
