highland region.

2011-10-16RFC’S TAPROBANA 4X4 CHALLENGE 2011 – UNLEASHED!
The recently concluded Taprobana 4x4 Challenge 2011 (T4X4C) which comes under the global RFC series for the first time this year; saw an invasion of foreign competitors, including foreign media, spectators and marshals to the country. The event was held from 8th to 14th October attracting international 4x4 communities to witness the showdown of well prepared man and off-road machines. Malaysian RFC Champion Team Loo Foo Siong & Edward Benggon, the only Malaysians who have won both The Rainforest Challenge (RFC) and the Borneo Safari was the team to watch from the very first day.
The 8 other foreign entries from Australia, Austria and Malaysia came well equipped and prepared for 4x4 battle which saw them sweeping the top slots without any issues during the Prologue Special Stages (SS) on 8th Oct. However, as the competition progressed over the six days, it was evident that the Lankan spirit with less equipment on their 4x4’s could not be beaten so easily.
