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.

The “Double Trouble” team.

Racing in a Volkswagen Polo R, known for its stability and speed, Rajiv’s “Double Trouble” team posted a time of 10:44, behind Ssebuguzi who posted 10:04. Round one winner Jonas Kansiime came third, posting 10:54.
