IF YOU’RE A BUDDING RACING DRIVER and are in search of a mentor, allow us to introduce you to Gaurav Gill — few can match this man’s expertise. As India’s top rally driver, very few people can drive a car faster than Gill when there’s any sort of loosey-goosey surface. Or even asphalt for that matter, if you look at his racing championships and utter dominance at tarmac rallies. Gill has many accolades to his name, having won the INRC multiple times and is the first Indian to have won the APRC, going on to take the title a total of three times.
