Amittrajit Ghosh showed great tactical acumen to win the Rally of Arunachal round three of the MRF FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship here on Sunday. Team Mahindra Adventure’s Ghosh, who exhibited amazing fightback on Day 1 to rise from ninth to third, enjoyed a much-needed slice of lick as overnight leader Gaurav Gill pulled out of the competition after his car broke down in the sixth stage.

He tackled the day’s three stages cautiously, finishing second in SS5, third in SS6in in SS and second again in SS7 for a cumulative top timing of 00:57:33.6.

It was 5.9 seconds faster than INRC 2’s Phalguna Urs and Srikanth, giving them the victory. The snap Racing pair, who were hot on Gill’s tail all of Saturday, didn’t have a fruitful second day.
