Thailand 4X4 Rally to hit Chiang Mai
The national four wheel drive rally circus arrives in Chang Dao, north of Chiang Mai city on September 5th-6th where stars fro Thailand and Japan will compete for fame, fortune and prize money.
Rally fans had a taste of things to come at Thapae Gate on August 14th when the previous round of the Asia Cross Country Rally championship ended with the usual splashing of champagne and Singha Beer.
The No 15 Isuzu D Max of Atchiki Srimongkol and Tadamisu Nihori had been the fastest over the high speed off-road stages since the Bangkok start, and took top honours, while maximum credit goes to the disabled Takura Aoki who got his similar truck to 12th place on hand controls. Takura was an engineer and racer for a professional bike team in Japan, until a crash cost him the use of his legs.
