Sri Lankan duo braves world’s toughest

   
Sri Lanka’s best and most experienced off-road team Indika Sanjaya (Driver) and Navin Marapana (Co-Driver) took the off-road world by storm by becoming the champions in the 2000-3000 cc Diesel Category and the Electric Winch Category in the Malaysian Rainforest Challenge 2009 (RFC).
They also proved that they were a truly world class team by beating over 20 petrol vehicles and becoming second runner up in the Open category.

The RFC is considered one of the toughest off road challenges in the world and dubbed the Formula One in the off-road fraternity. 

It is held annually in the rainforests of Malaysia over a period of ten gruelling days where man and machine are put to test in the harshest and challenging conditions.

This year’s RFC had over forty vehicles taking part with the best competitors from the Philippines, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, USA, Thailand, Russia, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Austria, Denmark and Singapore vying for supremacy along with participants from France, UK, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, India, Vietnam and Germany.

Sri Lanka had two other teams taking part comprising Suresh Chathuranga (Driver), his Co-Driver Ravindra Sanjeewa and Ravindra Rathnasiri along with his co Driver Harsha Kumara.
