Team Jeep went on to dominate the Top 10 Leader-board at the Leg 1 of the Jeep Colombo Challenge Rally (JCCR) of approximately 400 km in 2 Stages.
The 1st Stage was from Colombo to Galle passing the roughest and most challenging terrains a Time, Speed and Distance (TSD) Rally driver would encounter.
The 2nd Stage was the return to Colombo, ending at the Speedrome in Battaramulla.
Leg 1 of the JCCR flagged off at the Speedrome in Battaramulla, as a part of 3 challenging Rallies that form the first ever TSD Rally Championship in Sri Lanka, with Jeep Sri Lanka from DIMO the principal sponsor.

During the break between the 2 Stages, Team Jeep Service Crew attended to the Jeep vehicles, assuring uninterrupted motoring.
