This year, there was a magical touch to everything - from start to finish and till the time participants reached home safe – as felt by both the organizing team as well as the participants. It began with an overwhelming response to the announcement of the car rally. In less than 48 hrs. forty four (44) teams led their nominations – much above the targeted thirty (30). It was thrilling to see even a differently-abled officer from MR, coming forward to participate in the rally. The general mood seemed to be: “We don’t care how long it takes. But we are I going somewhere beautiful, and it will be fun.” On 9th August evening, team leaders attended the briefing session conducted by WIAA – Western India Automobile Association – the rally partners and on 10th August 2019 – early morning by 6 am all cars – many of them beautifully decorated with beautifully worded messages for HP SAMPARK lined up at ANNUAL MONSOON CAR RALLY 2019 FROM MUMBAI TO PALGHAR HPNE – Colony.
