The Rallye Du Centre Alsace: Indian rallyist Pragathi Gowda continued her hot form in her fourth international rally to finish 16 overall in the Rallye Du Centre Alsace at Selestat. She competed against 67 other drivers in the asphalt rally on Sunday and achieved an average speed of 108.5 kmph over the course of the rally.

The Rallye Du Centre Alsace was a two-day race, where rallyists navigated a total of 306.11 km. At the end of the first leg, Pragathi was placed 36th overall but in the second leg, with a better understanding of the surface and weather conditions, she grew in confidence and control and kept achieving small goals the team set for her to finish 16th.

“This was just my fourth International rally and every rally I’ve been making huge steps and improvements which is positive. Every rally has been different from the other. And this was the toughest so far in terms of driving conditions and the grip level. I am very happy that we could adapt and inhale the nature of it quickly and the car kept responding every step of the way, which built more confidence and inspired consistency,” Pragathi commented after the win.
