I dont know much about the rally achievements, but I do know that in Sholavaram it was much faster than the Fiats & even the 800s. I remember my mentor telling me that most Group N Dolphins were quicker than the A1A Fiat that he ran. And remember, in Group N only a muffler change and suspension tuning was allowed. Whereas in A1A you could do whatever you wanted but using Indian parts only.
I also remember reading in an old Indian Auto magazine a report of a late 80s K1000 rally. In that rally the Group A2 Gypsy's dominated of course, but most of the special stages were won by Vicky Chandhok in his Dolphin until he DNF'ed with connecting rod failure. It is not unreasonable to assume that the Gypsy's were putting out some serious hp because Group A2 is unlimited modifications class.
I think the Dolphin was let down by poor factory support and simply, not enough people racing them.

I'm not sure what you mean by that?
