Dambuk Valley (Arunachal Pradesh), Dec 14 (IANS) As many as 22 drivers along with their co-drivers are all set to participate in the fourth edition of the JK Tyre Orange 4x4 Fury off-roading event, starting on Friday.
Hosted in the breathtaking Lower Dirang Valley's quaint village Dambuk, it is part of the highly popular Orange Festival of Adventure and Music that draws fans from various cities.
MOCCA (Arunachal Pradesh), Gerrari Offroaders (Chandigarh) and KTM Jeepers (Kerala) are expected to fight it out for the title, given their experience and expertise in this form of motor-sport.
The Gerrari Offroaders are the hot favourites, having won the first edition of the 4X4 Fury in 2015.
Kabir Waraich, winner of the latest Ultimate Desert Challenge, and Gurmeet Virdi, overall winner in the Force Gurkha RFC India 2017, make a formidable pair.
The local team, MOCCA, led by Tseng Tsing Mein, Sunima Mein, Meoseng Namshoom, will also hope to do better than their third-place finish last year.
"They have been working on their vehicles and their skills all through the year and have emerged as a force to reckon with," Sanjay Sharma, Head of JK Motorsports said.
The KTM JEEPERS from Kottayam, with veteran off-roader Sam Kurien at the helm, will also be watched carefully. His team arrived for the competition after a 'crazy' 4,000 km ride.
An interesting set of stages - 'Show man', 'Bizari by the Swamp', 'Dance of the Sisari', 'Dibang Fury', 'Horn OfZaktum', 'Dambuk Fury' and 'Orange Fury' - have been laid out for the teams. As a package, they will test the teams' driving skills and nerves across land, water and hills.
Apart from the adrenaline pumping adventure sports, there is a spectacular feast for music lovers too.
