The Land Rover Defender entered by Frontier Racing won the event for Diesel Jeeps and Trucks and was placed Second against Petrol and Diesel 4WD’s in the Trucks and Jeeps Open category at the Foxhill Super Cross on April 18, 2009.
The Frontier Racing Land Rover 90 won the Diesel Jeep and Truck race with ease. Its straight line speed was proved from the start of the race, when the Defender surged ahead of its competition. This straight line lead was enhanced in every corner. In the corners, the Defender showed much more poise, and very much higher levels of grip. In the Open Event for Petrol and Diesel Trucks and Jeeps, the Defender was leading the race until the penultimate lap. The Frontier Racing Defender was driven by Sheran Fernando, CEO, Frontier Automotive.
The Land Rover Defender was specially designed and built by Mr. Anuruddha Yapa, (Director) and his dedicated team at Frontier Automotive. The starting point of the vehicle was a 25 year old Land Rover 90. The 90 had a TD5 engine, specially tuned by Chandima Gooneratne and Dissanayaka of Frontier, in technical collaboration with Twisted Performance of the UK. The vehicle body and suspension was designed by Mr. Yapa. |
