Driver of the doomed RX 7 was Muhammad Ashraf, he is a vetran of 4x4 racing in Pakistan, lately has been driving a M/T Mitsubishi Evo 3500. As far as I can remember, Ashraf has won Cholistan Rally twice, Jhal Magsi Rally at least once and freedom Rally atleast once. On all these occasions, Ashraf beat Nadir Magsi, Ronnie Patel and other A Stock drivers. His runner up and 2nd runner up positions are numerous.
I met Ashraf bhai for the first time in Cholistan Rally 2008, he is a great human, probably one of the best gentlemen i ever met in life. Since that day i have admired his courage and expertise. Dont know what happened this time, but while driving at these type of speeds, things happen, thats why only the best of the best do it and pull through.
