I would be glad to hand over the trophy to a better winning team. I hope Vikram/Lokesh/Rajmohan/Ranjit would agree with me. Whatever the outcome, Iam willing to abide by the decision.
Guys, lets all join and clear the bitterness, cause it corrodes everything including a good friendship, BADLY.

Doc, I'm with you on this. May the best team get the first prize.

GS, your SS was cool man, If i was driving with BOTH my hands then things would have been easier..Anyways I liked the Day 2 SS better than Day 1.
Pl note that I was driving holding my Transfer GB lever with my left hand!!! to prevent further damage!

Also, believe me, it is not just about those 3 SS's and 2 teams. As I said earlier, even the subjective awards raise a lot of questions for which we can't seem to find any logical answer
Dr, your team is a TRULY deserving winner. NO doubt about that -- not even for a fleeting second. You guys enjoy your happy moments as they are TRULY well deserved.
Don't worry, this talking things in open will get rid of the bitterness and make sure that participants feeling & sentiments are understood. Afterall, we (the participants) make the event happen. What fun will TPC be if you just have 9 - 10 people taking part
I just hope that next years TPC is not handled the way it has been this year. I really would not want to miss it next year just because i have a doubt in my mind about scoring/transparency/fairness etc. |
KS, there is no point re-kindling the issue. Lets find a solution.

Yes please take this as a challenge, so that next TPC will be bigger and better. And please don't wake us up at 5 in the morning!

I carried a DSLR with 2 lens and never even took the camera out of the bag, coz i was instructed to be serious for a change!! |
Jaggu,
1. Things change at Palar within a few hours!~
2. We left camp at 545 AM last year !!
3. You are smart to NOT remove the camera out of the Bag

this time i came all out to win, only i know how much preparation and money is gone in from my side, ask all the customers whose work is pending in my garage
and to come third cause of your goof up or your partiality is just demeaning
and if your o team did decide on this rule of yours, ud have to atleast keep us in the loop sir, we make this event happen, all 12 teams that is
what was such a wonderful experience is ending turning up to be a wide wakeup call for me to the fact that "life is not fair"
and vikram im not talking about your team, you'll were the best buddy
and along with the banglore boys be competition for me if i do decide to come next year
i did not get to see the blue banglore teams perform, but watching khan, prithvi and gang tackle the terrain, blew me away |
Allan, I can understand your frustration when you've taken the effort to come such a distance.
I'm sure the O team will correct themselves
Contrary to what you saw, I could never see you guys tackle the terrain and hope to see the same soon. You've got my mind tickling on that V8 power man.. - serious!! Tell me if you've got any more engines / GBs.

Hi Vinod, really missed you da, this years SS were so much more fun than last year when we had to "hunt" Things were so clearly defined that all we had to do was focus on the obstacle.
