Mini event results...Ajith came first followed by Parameshwaran and Samantha Gunawardhane! Very good drive by newcomer Lasantha Gunasekere.Good comeback drive by Ashan De Silva in his new Mini.

There were many issues...Race stoped after event 13 due rain.Because of that we have to wait few months to see Silva brothers (Thusith & Rohith) battle .

Its all good fun but bear in mind what happened to the boys of Dialog GSM on negombo road when doing these tight corners. :( Its not worth it mate, risking yours and the life of others in such uncontrolled enviorenment. Remember YOU don't have a roll cage!!

Seriously man,

With 5 on board, the handling of your car would be pretty different to what you're used to, and you would carry some serious momentum when approaching tight bends. Lots of us tend to over estimate our car's capabilities in situations like this....

There's also the un-written rules of up-country driving like having to give way to the vehicle that's climbing.

Quite a few colombo drivers are taken by surprise when busses and lorries drive straight at their face on the wrong side of the road and then blast you for not pulling to the side of the road to let them pass. :blink:

Yeap Driving NE is very different from CMB Driving and if u not use to drive NE u have to be carefull, and yes we know all the un- written rules bt we saw most Colombo ppl had Hill Climbing troubles

Bt Down hill is bit risky right ?

if your civic is giving you only 5km's per liter its got serious issues :P

Yes after the trip we found greese in the throtle and tons of dust in the TPS, if we cleane these things before the trip it will save our money
