Scorpio wins Maruti Suzuki Desert Storm in the Ndure category
The Desert Storm Rally was organized by Maruti Suzuki in collaboration with Northern Motorsport. Indian Automotive giant Mahindra and Mahindra's flagship brand Scorpio dominated the competition and won in the Ndure category.
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M), the market leader in the utility vehicle segment in India, has good reason to rejoice this year. The Scorpio (the company’s flagship brand) won the Maruti Suzuki Desert Storm 2010 in the Ndure category.
 
In 2009 the Scorpio had also won the Adventure Trial SUV Category of Raid De Himalaya one of the toughest rallies in the country and came 3rd in the Rally de Sertoes which is one of the toughest rallies in the world.

The Desert Storm Rally was organized by Maruti Suzuki in collaboration with Northern Motorsport. The race culminated in Udaipur after charting a course that covered 3000 kms through the interiors of Gujrat and Rajasthan. The rally saw the highest participation this year with about 250 participants with 100 cars and 21 bikes. The route they covered consisted of some of the toughest terrain the country has to offer, as a result only 11 of the 21 cars in the Ndure category managed to complete the race.

The winning Scorpio was driven by Raj Singh Rathore with Dhiraj Arora as his co-driver. Together they survived and won a grueling race in which the participants travelled through the majestic Aravalis, endured the searing heat of the Thar and navigated the marshy expanse of the Great Rann. What made the win even more incredible is that the top-of-the-line Scorpio VLX the duo used was not modified in anyway.

It is feats like these that have made the Mahindra Scorpio the leader in the SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) segment in India. The iconic brand has also won widespread industry acclaim. Some of the prestigious awards it has won include the CNBC Autocar Car of the Year Award, BBC Wheels Best SUV of the Year and Best Car of the Year awards and the BS Motoring Car of the Year Award. This is a true testament to Mahindra Scorpio’s spirit of adventure.

.Some times we ignore the promotion freebies that come with the motor oil that we buy.. Recently i bought a Castrol promotion pack for car but wasn't informed by the dealer that the scratch card offer to enter the lucky draw to go to South Africa World cup games and the dealer has assured gifts that we can collect at the time of purchase. Make sure you ask your service dealers for the contest details if you buy one in the near future and collect your assured gift :)
