Karamjit, Musa take round four
NST, 4/8/2008

DEFENDING champion Karamjit Singh and Indian co-driver Musa Sheriff comp-leted an easy victory in Round Four of the Malaysian Rally Championship in Desaru, Johor yesterday.

The victory came after the duo had built a comfortable lead of almost five minutes in the first six special stages (SS) on Saturday.

The advantage allowed the GSR Pennzoil Team driver to drive cautiously and preserve his car on the rough and unforgiving stages in Felda Kledang and Adela which claimed four cars on the first day.

Despite complaining about the tricky conditions, Karamjit, in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, extended his lead over Kan Chee Hong, driving a Perodua Myvi 4WD turbo by more than 19 minutes.

Karamjit completed 141.72km over 12 SS with a time of 1:36:58s, averag-ing 88.04kph.

Chee Hong clocked 1:56:04s.

The Perodua M5 driver had started the second day in third place behind Karamjit’s teammate Gunaseelan Rajoo but quickly found the pace to outdrive him by SS 9, the third SS of the day.
