That's a fantastic ray of hope for the rallying scene in India, not to mention a proud moment for all of us! All the best to Naren!

Yes its true, after P-WRC, Naren Kumar will soon be driving in WRC
A first for an Indian
newindpress on sunday - News Items
Wishing Naren all the best in this endeavor
He will be driving a Subaru WRX in the production class, at the Acropolis Rally of Greece.

I wish there were more sponsorships and events to support our talented Indians.

Wishing all the best to Naren. Hoping for a better performance now that he has got the car!

Naren will be driving in the 6 WRC events, in the P-WRC category. The new Subaru looks amazing but it is having reliability issues and we can only hope that Naren does well to bring the car home in competitive position. Acropolis is a very tricky rally and can force a driver into a mistake if he is not 110 % concentrated. Wishing Naren all the very best.

Tanveer, You are confusing me.
Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson drive for Subaru WRC team.

Naren is driving in PWRC! i.e. Production World Rally Championship

tsk1979 · 27th May 2008, 13:30

Oops sorry, I got confused. He was driving in Asia Pacific rally, and for the first time he will go to PWRC.

Technocrat · 27th May 2008, 13:37

Thats good news Nice to see an Indian driver go places. Anyone knows the TV schedule?

They don't show it live but on the monday after the rally is over, they show 1.5 hrs of telecast on star sports after 1030 pm. They generally cover WRC and in the middle they show a little about PWRC and others.

theMAG · 27th May 2008, 15:02

Yup - read it in today's TOI. Great news - although I wish the co-driver was also Indian.

nitrous · 27th May 2008, 15:22

PWRC is broadcasted as "PWRC" on start sports.
One can catch it on weekends.Broadcast timings are random.

CaliforniaKnight · 27th May 2008, 23:17

Wow thats great news. One of the best drivers Indian rally scene has had.
Wishing him all the best.
