Don't know much detail about this chequered Nissan Patrol, I think this one had the 2.8 diesel engine and was in category C

This 4X4 engaged? Nissan Patrol VTC 4800 was there in support capacity. Saw it towing the Rolled over Nissan VTC of Ahsan Ijaz back form Jhal to Sukkar!

The suspension in the Zebra GDI!

Farooq never won any Rally, let alone at Jhal, which has to be called the toughest of all. Farooq's best ever result and his only ever podium was 3rd position in Jhal 2009 and even then his vehicle was driven by one of his friends Mr. Shaheen, Farooq was navigating.

Doctor Sb,, ever heard of braging:P

Farooq is a good acquaintance and he used to visit my " Chai wala DHABBA" frequently. I had noticed the sticker too and when confronted, Farooq's reply was "you know the claim is not true, people in my home town Multan dont":-#:-#:-#

Qasim thnx for the correction
Somehow I did have a feeling something was a bit iffy, and that's why I ended up putting a (?) question mark on the statement! Was he the same chap who was offering you radiator cap and fan etc and had a broken rear drive shaft or something during rally?

Is this a camera angle, or are the cambers out? Do they do it on purpose to keep the ride more stable, or for drifting? Too much to learn about rallying I guess

Well, camber is definitely negative (out), whether intentional or under load, not sure. Although this setup is very commonly used on road racing cars, not sure about rally vehicles, I suppose it should be the same effect, i.e better traction of outer wheel under load on turns, so overall more stability n handling etc, obviously for normal road use it means excessive uneven inner tyre wear, but for 200km race its most likely benificial!. Finally technically I don't think you can have as much negative camber in solid front axle vehicles anyway!

Just because we share the same blood (Mitsus), doesn't mean you gotta spill the beans amigo!

I think the camber looks cool, be it beneficial or not

Lovely pics Doc. Keep 'em coming.

The quick Suzuki Escudo of Zain Irani, performed well in qualifying but wasn't as quick during the race!
