Rajiv’s maiden race attracted the crowds.

Rajiv Ruparelia has announced his entry into motorsport with a bang, posting second place in his debut rally.

Rajiv who is the Managing Director of Ruparelia Group came just behind experienced rally driver Ronald Ssebuguzi in the Enduro Autocross Championship 2019 at Zion Estates in Ssisa this Sunday.
